All the Majors winners in CS:GO history

Years go by, and Counter-Strike: Global Offensive remains one of the world’s best esports. No one would say they have never played Counter-Strike or at least seen a few games.

No game generates as many emotions as CS:GO, and in turn, there is no more significant achievement in this classic FPS from Valve than winning a Major.

CS:GO Majors history

Since 2013, Valve has sponsored each of the Majors held throughout the year, giving players and teams an excellent incentive to pursue during each season, year, or race.

To date, 17 majors have been held in the history of esports, where 12 different organizations have managed to lift this coveted trophy.

Right now, Astralis continues with the record of most Majors won in history with four and is the only team that managed to win three in a row.

On the other hand, NiP holds the record for most participations in Grand Finals, with a total of five, managing to win one.

Outsiders are the current champions after their incredible performance at IEM Rio 2022.
