In addition to the new stickers, the CS:GO blog post<\/a> also mentioned that Valve were going to make changes in how teams are invited to the Regional Major Ranking tournament starting at the BLAST.tv Paris Major 2023.<\/p>\n

\n

Outsiders took home the trophy after besting Heroic in the grand final<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

Currently, those that participate in the RMR consists of teams that either receive a direct invite based on their performance at the previous Major or those that went through their respective regions’ open qualifiers.<\/p>\n

For the upcoming Major in Paris, Valve stated that some teams will be given the opportunity to forego the open qualifier stage based on their results at both Valve-sanctioned and third-party competitions and progress to a closed qualifier where they will compete against those who made it through the open stage.<\/p>\n

More information about the newly-announced Regional Standings process will follow in the coming weeks.<\/p>\n
