On November 4, 2023, it was announced that Valve had renamed the Major's stages from Challengers Stage, Legends Stage and Champions Stage to "Opening Stage", "Elimination Stage" and "Playoffs Stage", respectively.<ref name=":0">{{Cite web |last=Cooke |first=Hunter |date=2023-11-04 |title=Valve make stealth changes to the CS2 Major format |url=https://dotesports.com/counter-strike/news/valve-make-stealth-changes-to-the-cs2-major-format |access-date=2024-02-22 |website=Dot Esports |language=en-US}}</ref>
Like previous Majors using a [[Swiss-system tournament|Swiss-system]] group stage, twenty-four teams qualified for the tournament. This includes sixteen teams who qualified for the Opening Stage. The top eight teams from the Opening Stage moved on to the Elimination Stage, along with eight teams directly from the Regional Major Ranking (RMR) qualifiers.

== Qualification ==
Qualification took place through three Regional Major Ranking events, based on teams' geographical regions, events were held in Europe, Americas and Asia. Unlike in previous Majors where teams were seeded according to performance at RMRs, a number of Opening Stage and Elimination Stage places were instead distributed according to Valve's own regional standings.<ref>{{Cite web |last= |first= |date=2024-02-21 |title=PGL Copenhagen Major Europe RMRs: Schedule, results, more |url=https://dotesports.com/counter-strike/news/pgl-copenhagen-major-europe-rmrs-schedule-results-and-more |access-date=2024-02-22 |website=Dot Esports |language=en-US}}</ref>
Seven teams from Europe and one team from the Americas RMRs who qualified earned direct berths to the Elimination Stage, in accordance with the number of each region's teams that advanced from the Legends Stage to the playoffs of [[Blast Paris Major 2023|Paris 2023]].

== Elimination stage ==
Like the Opening Stage, the Elimination Stage is played in a Swiss-system bracket, with eight teams advancing to a [[Single-elimination tournament|single-elimination]] Playoffs Stage. The Elimination Stage includes the eight teams that advance from the Opening Stage, as well as the seven highest teams from the Europe RMR and the highest team from the Americas RMR in Valve's regional standings. Matches are played in the same format as in the Opening Stage.
During a 2–2 bracket match between [[Virtus.pro]] and [[G2 Esports]], Virtus.pro player Dzhami "Jame" Ali experienced a [[Crash (computing)|game crash]], after what was later determined to be an [[Nvidia|NVIDIA]] driver crash. The event led to G2 reaching map point, and caused a response regarding controversial technical issues with the Major, including from G2 player [[NiKo|Nikola "NiKo" Kovač]].<ref>{{Cite web |date=2024-03-24 |title=Devastating CS2 crash costs Virtus Pro playoffs spot at PGL Copenhagen Major |url=https://www.dexerto.com/counter-strike-2/devastating-cs2-crash-costs-pro-team-playoffs-spot-at-pgl-copenhagen-major-2608909/ |access-date=2024-04-04 |website=Dexerto |language=en}}</ref>

[[File:PGL CS2 Major Copenhagen 2024 stage - 01.jpg|thumb|The stage at [[Royal Arena]] for the playoffs]]
The top eight teams from the Elimination Stage will advance to a single-elimination bracket. Each match in the Playoffs Stage is played in a best-of-three format.
On March 29, during a quarter-final match between G2 and [[Mouz|MOUZ]], spectators rushed the stage and were tackled by event security, damaging the trophy. PGL released a statement following the incident stating that they intended to press charges against the disruptors, who were reportedly involved with a ''Counter-Strike'' gambling platform.<ref>{{Cite news |last=Wilde |first=Tyler |date=2024-03-29 |title=Spectator rushes stage at CS2 tournament and gets tackled into trophy, smashing it to pieces |url=https://www.pcgamer.com/games/fps/pgl-major-copenhagen-stage-crasher-trophy/ |access-date=2024-04-04 |work=[[PC Gamer]] |language=en}}</ref>
