Buenos Aires is on the Counter-Strike Major map for 2027 — as an **announcement**, not as a tournament that has already been played.

FiReSPORTS's own site says the organizer is bringing the **first CS2 Major to Buenos Aires in 2027**. That sentence is organizer language from the site's public description. It is not a Valve.com post, and this feature does not invent one.
