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, 18 of these Majors have been put on, with 13 different organizations claiming iterations of the trophy. Astralis holds the record with four total and their team was the only one to win three straight. Ninjas in Pyjamas holds the record for most grand finals appearances with five, turning just of those appearances into a championship. Team Vitality is the reigning champion after their flawless run at the BLAST Paris 2023 Major, and they will go down as the last CS:GO Major winners in history before the switch to CS2.
Here is every single CS:GO team to win a Major, in chronological order, starting with the most recent champions.
