Valve has initiated a new wave of invitation distribution for participation in the limited beta testing of CS 2. According to the company's representatives, their goal is to attract as many suitable players as possible.

To be eligible for an invite, you need to:

1. Have an activated Prime status.
2. Possess a rank in the competitive mode.
3. Actively participate in matches in one of the regions where CS 2 beta testing is taking place.

The recruitment process for new players began concurrently with the release of a major update, introducing a new ranking system and changing the match format. Now, all games are played in MR12 mode (24 rounds in regular time).

There is no exact release date for CS 2 yet, but Valve promises to fully launch the game in the summer of 2023. According to information from insider harumi, this will happen after the conclusion of ESL Pro League Season 18, which will run until October 1.
