The second season of Counter-Strike Premier comes to an end next week, July 14. Similar to season 1, players who competed and grinded the mode will receive a commemorative medal to conclude the season.

How to Get the Premier Season 2 Medal?

Similar to the Premier season 1, the new medal will be awarded if you fulfill the following conditions;

  • Have a Prime-enabled account
  • Win 25 Premier games
  • Have an active Premier rating

The color of the medal will correspond to your highest CS Rating achieved during the season, and the bars will reflect your total wins, with one bar for every 25—up to five bars.

Clicking on the medal will present you with the personalized stats for the season.

What to Expect with Premier Season 3?

For starters, a rank reset is on the horizon. While the season 2 rating will be used, players have to win 10 games for a visible season 3 rating.

Additionally, a map pool change is expected with the start of Season 3. The possible returning candidates include Cobblestone and Cache. Vertigo has also been revamped in Counter-Strike 2 and there is a possibility of its return.

There is currently no information on the maps leaving the pool. However, Mirage and Dust 2 have been active the longest and are likely contenders to be replaced.

With the current state of the game favoring the T-side heavily, balancing changes might be coming with the new season. Lastly, an armory overhaul might be in works too.

To a Bright Future?

While plagued with cheaters, the conclusion of the second season within six months followed by a sizable update with fresh content will set a good precedent for the future of Counter-Strike. Especially an update on VAC will bring back the big chunk fans that have left after the frustrating state of the game at higher levels.

If the update delivers as hard as the recent stickers and charms have, a bright Counter-Strike-filled future awaits us!!

Team Vitality CEO Neo: "For Us to be a Global Leader Means Being a Contender at EWC"

Team Vitality remains one of the most influential and well-known esports organizations to date. The Paris-based org fields over 20 esports teams in various esports, though their immensely impressive results in Counter-Strike take center stage.  Being one of the organizations present at Esports World Cup 2026 in Paris, we managed to speak with Fabien "Neo" Devide, Co-Founder and CEO of the Hive, just after an interview with Mike McCabe, COO of the Esports World Cup Foundation, at the opening press conference at EWC. Neo provided a ton of insight into the organization's participation at this year's edition of EWC in Paris. He expressed his desire for the org to perform to the highest standards, but also highlighted that rivalry is key to grow the ecosystem. Additionally, Neo gave strong opinions on the growth of mobile esports following last year's Vitality's takeover and merger with Indonesian side Bigetron, stressing the need for innovation and following ideas in the east, as much as the west.
