At least 4 CS:GO teams are already training in Counter-Strike 2. Journalists from HLTV.org polled representatives of lineups from the top-30 global rankings according to the portal and shared the results on their website.

The following teams have started training in the new shooter version:

• Vitality;

• Monte;

• Ninjas in Pyjamas;

• GamerLegion;

HLTV added that the other teams from the top-30 rankings continue training in CS:GO, prioritizing current championships and upcoming events, which will likely occur before the release of CS2.

Some squads declined to share information. Journalists believe that some teams might have given false information to avoid revealing data.

The absence of the game in a team doesn't mean that individual players aren't acclimating to the new shooter. Robin "⁠ropz⁠" Kool streamed CS2 for hours.

As tempting as an early transition might seem from the side, the reality is that the best CS:GO teams need to be able to quickly catch up.

At the moment, the ESL Pro League 18 is taking place, featuring many teams from the HLTV top-30 ranking.

Counter-Strike 2 is inevitable, and Valve hints at a possible release as early as this Wednesday.
