It's looking ever more likely that this year's Counter-Strike: Global Offensive PGL Stockholm Major will go ahead as planned next month. The Swedish government has announced that it's going to be lifting more COVID-19-related restrictions in late September, including some around hosting public events, which means it's increasingly possible the Major will be happening there in October.

Back in July PGL, the Major's organising body, said it was hopeful that the FPS game's upcoming tournament would still take place in Sweden's capital city, but with restrictions still in place due to the uncertain nature of the continuing pandemic, there were still some questions hanging over whether it could go ahead as planned. At the time, the body explained that it had a backup plan in place in the event that the Major couldn't go ahead in Stockholm, having been in touch with two other European countries that could act as alternative hosts if needed.

Now, as The Local.se reports, the limit on how many people can attend both public and private events is due to be removed in Sweden as of September 29, along with other changes, such as the recommendation to work from home in the country.
