There is truly no game like Counter-Strike, and there is no greater achievement in the iconic shooter than capturing the Major. Since 2013, Valve has sponsored the prize pool of the most illustrious CS:GO tournament, giving players and teams a top accolade to chase across months, years, and careers.
To this date, 17 of these Majors have been put on, with 12 different organizations claiming iterations of the trophy. Currently, Astralis holds the record with four total, and are the only team to win three straight. Ninjas in Pyjamas hold the record for most grand finals appearances with five, and were able to turn one of those appearances into a championship. FaZe Clan are the reigning champions after their impressive run at PGL Antwerp 2022.
Here is every single CS:GO team to win a Major, in chronological order starting with the most recent champions.
