PGL Major Antwerp 2022 was a spectacular Major tournament packed with top-tier Counter-Strike action. The first Major of the year concluded yesterday with a well-deserved victory of FaZe Clan over defending Major champions Natus Vincere. Fragster was there on-site to bring you a peek into how the Major looked for visitors.
Besides the splendid esports experience, the prominent CS:GO tournament, taking place in Antwerps Sportpaleis, Belgium, also offered a palette of unforgettable moments filled with emotions, lots of fun and creativity, and most importantly, incredible fan energy, all accompanied by a high-class production.
Here’s the selection of some of the most interesting moments Fragster captured at the event.

The PGL Major Antwerp 2022 is over, with teams, fans, organizers and everybody involved, now recovering from the intense esports ride that many of us craved during the lengthy times without live events caused by the global pandemic.
While the next CS:GO Major hasn’t yet been revealed, fans already can look forward to another huge event — IEM XVII, set to commence on July 5 in Cologne, Germany.
