Twenty-four teams qualified via regional major rankings. It featured a {{USD|2000000}} prize pool, a rise from the {{USD|1000000|long=no}} of previous Majors due to the absence of offline competition amid the COVID-19 pandemic. It was the second Major hosted by the Romanian organization PGL, after PGL Major: Kraków 2017. Stockholm 2021 was the first Major after a break caused by the COVID-19 pandemic following the StarLadder Major: Berlin 2019. The Major was won by Natus Vincere, who did not lose a single map throughout the tournament.{{cite web|title=NaVi Win PGL Major Stockhol Over G2; Make History by Going Undefeated|url=https://www.hltv.org/news/32761/navi-win-pgl-major-stockholm-over-g2-make-history-by-going-undefeated|website=HLTV.org |access-date=4 February 2022}}

Background

Counter-Strike: Global Offensive is a multiplayer first-person shooter video game developed by Hidden Path Entertainment and Valve Corporation. It is the fourth game in the Counter-Strike series. In professional CS:GO, the Valve-sponsored Majors are the most prestigious tournaments.{{cite web |last1=Chiu |first1=Stephen |title=Retrospective of the Majors: Lineups with 2 Major Wins and Players with 3 |url=https://www.vpesports.com/csgo/retrospective-of-the-majors-lineups-with-2-major-wins-and-players-with-3/ |website=VPEsports |access-date=14 February 2021 |language=en |archive-date=13 February 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210213044337/https://www.vpesports.com/csgo/retrospective-of-the-majors-lineups-with-2-major-wins-and-players-with-3/ |url-status=live }}{{cite web |last1=Kovanen |first1=Tomi |title=Why CS:GO needs major events |url=https://www.hltv.org/news/11030/why-csgo-needs-major-events |website=HLTV.org |access-date=14 February 2021 |language=en |archive-date=12 May 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210512155823/https://www.hltv.org/news/11030/why-csgo-needs-major-events |url-status=live }}

The Stockholm Major was the first Major in two years following an absence in offline play in 2020 and 2021 due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

On April 2, 2020, Valve revised the former major qualification system which featured direct qualifiers called minors, for a yearly circuit where teams had to earn Regional Major Ranking Points (RMR) in a series of tournaments. The system was revised in scope of the first postponement of the Rio Major.{{cite web|url=https://www.hltv.org/news/29377/valve-scraps-invites-for-esl-one-rio-major-teams-to-be-determined-via-regional-rankings|title=Valve scraps invites for ESL One Rio Major; teams to be determined via regional rankings|last=Mira|first=Luís|work=HLTV|date=April 2, 2020|access-date=October 18, 2021|archive-date=October 17, 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20211017233959/https://www.hltv.org/news/29377/valve-scraps-invites-for-esl-one-rio-major-teams-to-be-determined-via-regional-rankings|url-status=live}} In early January 2021, Valve reached out to organizers for proposals of three RMR events per region–Asia, CIS, Europe, North America, South America and Oceania.{{cite web|url=https://www.hltv.org/news/31051/valve-open-to-proposals-for-rmr-tournaments|title=Valve open to proposals for RMR tournaments|last=Mira|first=Luís|work=HLTV|date=January 23, 2021|access-date=October 18, 2021|archive-date=October 17, 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20211017234001/https://www.hltv.org/news/31051/valve-open-to-proposals-for-rmr-tournaments|url-status=live}} Five days later, the corporation released the 2020 RMR Sticker capsule as an in-game item, including the team's logos as sticker who qualified for Rio. They furthermore reset all the points acquired and reset the leaderboard. As a compensation, teams who qualified as a Legend for the Rio Major were awarded with 600 points, Challengers with 300 and Contenders with 100.{{cite web|url=https://www.hltv.org/news/31089/valve-unveils-2020-rmr-stickers-announces-points-reset-coach-limitations|title=Valve unveils 2020 RMR stickers; announces points reset, coach limitations|last=Allana|first=Danish|work=HLTV|date=January 28, 2021|access-date=October 18, 2021|archive-date=October 17, 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20211017234003/https://www.hltv.org/news/31089/valve-unveils-2020-rmr-stickers-announces-points-reset-coach-limitations|url-status=live}} Through the rules laid out by Valve, teams were able to replace up to two members of their roster at a time for a penalty. Teams lost 20% of their points per player change. If three or more players were removed from the team, the points would be reset. At least two RMR events per region were required with an optional third one being possible.{{cite web|url=https://blog.counter-strike.net/index.php/csgo-regional-major-rankings-for-2021/|title=2021 CS:GO Regional Major Rankings|publisher=CSGO Blog|date=January 2021|access-date=October 18, 2021|archive-date=October 18, 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20211018152633/https://blog.counter-strike.net/index.php/csgo-regional-major-rankings-for-2021/|url-status=live}} The only regions to have three RMR events were CIS and South America.
