So, I heard everyone talking about this big CS2 tournament, the Copenhagen Major. Sounded like a big deal, lots of top teams playing. Naturally, I wanted to catch some games, maybe see who lifts the trophy. But first things first, I needed to figure out when everything was actually happening. You know, get the schedule sorted.

Trying to Find the Game Times
My first thought was just to search online. Went to my usual search engine and typed in something like “cs2 copenhagen major schedule”. Pretty basic stuff. Got a bunch of results back, as you’d expect. Some looked promising, others seemed a bit iffy, maybe outdated or just fan speculation.
I clicked on a few. Some pages just gave a big date range, like March 17th to March 31st. Okay, that’s a start, but not really what I needed. I wanted to know, like, when does it start start? What are the different phases? Is it on during the week? Weekends? Needed more detail to plan when I could actually sit down and watch.
Found myself scrolling through articles talking about the format – Opening Stage, Elimination Stage, Playoffs. That helped understand how it was structured, but still didn’t give me a simple day-by-day breakdown easily. Lots of text, not enough clear dates listed out simply.
Getting the Actual Dates
Decided to refine my approach. I thought about where the hardcore fans or the official sources might post this info clearly. Tried searching specifically for esports news sites or platforms that usually cover these big events well. That seemed to work a bit better.
After poking around on a couple of those more dedicated sites, I finally found a page that laid it out pretty clearly. It broke down the whole thing:

- Opening Stage: Had the dates listed, like March 17th – 20th.
- Elimination Stage: Then the next set of dates, March 21st – 24th.
- Playoff Stage: And the final bit, the playoffs in the arena, March 28th – 31st.
This was what I was looking for! A simple breakdown. Didn’t show exact match times for every single game way in advance, which makes sense ’cause that stuff can change, but knowing the date ranges for each stage was perfect. I just made a quick note for myself, especially for those playoff dates, ’cause that’s usually the most exciting part.
So yeah, took a little bit more clicking than I initially thought, had to wade through some less useful pages first. But got there in the end. Found a reliable source, got the key dates down. Now I actually know when to tune in for the Copenhagen Major. Looking forward to it.
