Perfect World to host the first Major in Asia
Valve has decided that the second Major of 2024 will take place in Shanghai, China, and will be hosted by Perfect World.
The Tournament is scheduled to start on December 1, 2024, and will end on December 15, 2024.
The organizer, Perfect World, will be hosting their first Major, raising concerns among Counter-Strike players about whether they can host a successful Tournament compared to ESL and Blast, which have already showed to the Counter-Strike fans their high quality in major hosting.
Moreover, we got to remember the time zone difference between China and Europe, when CS:GO tournaments played in unusual time zones compared to Europe they were not very successful, and viewership statistics were below average, but there is also a good side for a major in China, which is the CS2 Skins market and economy.
Let’s start talking about what might happen to Counter-Strike skins prices during the Major...
Many rumors are saying that China has a significant impact on the market, with a high volume of skin purchases. This was exemplified by the rox Holo, which increased in value due to a Chinese sign in the “O” of Rox Signature
Given that the Tournament will take place in Shanghai, China, many believe it will make Counter-Strike skin prices to increase, which aligns with the rumors that we talked about before. Imagine the Chinese Investors pouring in their money to buy skins due to the immense hype that Counter-Strike will generate in China.
