PGL is looking for co-streamers in the Counter-Strike 2 community for PGL Cluj-Napoca 2025, the organiser’s first big CS2 event of the year. PGL Cluj-Napoca will see 16 top teams from all over the world head to Romania later this month to compete for its massive $1.25m (~£1m) prize pool, according to eSports Insider.
The tournament organiser is calling on streamers to send in applications to officially broadcast the tournament to their viewers, bringing more stream options to CS2 fans.
It’s not yet clear how many streamers will be approved (or who PGL is exactly looking for in its applicants) but many have already announced that they’ve applied in the replies.
