PGL will host 11 tournaments in a span of one year from 2025 to 2026. Previously, a renowned independent organizer was only focused on hosting Majors in association with Valve.

Prior to this, the organization couldn't host such tournaments due to rules and regulations that allowed some organizations to maintain a monopoly.
