In July this year, it came out that PGL was looking for alternative locations for the Major, due to certain Covid-19 regulations which made it difficult to run such a massive event, both concerning travel and crowd regulations. However, this week, the Swedish government eased some of the restrictions, which now means that the Major can take place like the tournament organizers originally planned for.
