Seasons
Every Active Duty pool Valve has fielded in Counter-Strike 2, newest first: the rotation that opened each one, the professional-play meta measured while it held, and how it fits on the timeline of every season before it.
Season 5 is marked thin: the sample there is under a quarter of the busiest season's, close enough to noise that the figure is stated but not leaned on.

CT share is measured across Tier 1 events — HLTV Majors and international LAN events with a prize pool between $600,000 and $2,000,000, 2023-10-16 – 2026-08-02. A season this snapshot's pro-play coverage doesn't reach shows no figure at all here, never a zero.

Four Teams Come Through the BLAST Premier Fall Groups Without a Loss
The Copenhagen groups sent G2, Liquid, Spirit and Vitality through at 3-0, and put Cloud9, GamerLegion, OG and Virtus.pro out at 0-2. Rounds split almost exactly even across the stage, 50.0 percent CT. This is a group phase of a larger BLAST Premier season, so its last match settles a place in the finals rather than a title.
BLAST Premier Fall Groups 2024's own name marks it as one phase of a larger tournament — its last match's winner is not a tournament champion.

Where a Valve season holds more than one Active Duty pool state, the states here are told apart with a letter — 1a, 1b, and so on, marked split above. Valve names the whole span “Season One”; it never split it into 1a/1b itself — that split is this site's own, to distinguish two different pools within one Valve season.
