Trademark Registration Application for Counter-Strike 2

Valve registered new trademarks for Counter-Strike and CS2 a couple of hours ago, apparently a really new name? An interesting observation, previously Valve did not have the Counter-Strike trademark in principle, only CS: GO and Counter-Strike: Global Offensive. Mb they just decided to take over all the indirect name and there will be no rebranding? In addition, the question arises, why was it necessary to register a Tiktok account with the link ” tiktok.com/@csgo ” if at that time they were already planning to rename the game?
