Every player to have won a CS:GO Major championship Stephanie Lindgren \/ PGLThere aren\u2019t a lot of players who\u2019ve hoisted a Major championship trophy and those who do enshrine their name in history. These are all the pros who\u2019ve won a CSGO Major. The expansive landscape of competitive Counter-Strike makes the Major an unattainable feat for many. Meanwhile, there are legendary teams who\u2019ve done the unthinkable by claiming multiple titles in no time at all. At the start of Global Offensive, Ninjas in Pyjamas were an unstoppable force. Their famous 87-game win streak is still the benchmark in CSGO and the team was immortalized when they won ESL One: Cologne in 2014. Then the world watched as Gabriel \u2018FalleN\u2019 Toledo led his Brazilian band of terrors to back-to-back Major victories, even between a change of orgs in that time. Shortly after came Astralis\u2019 unmatched championship streak that ended with the most Majors (4) since they began in 2013. Even for rare talents like Oleksandr \u2018s1mple\u2019 Kostyliev, a Major can seem impossible. The Ukrainian phenom became the latest player to put his name in CSGO lore with NAVI\u2019s win at the CSGO Stockholm Major.

Dev1ce \u2013 4x Nicolai \u2018dev1ce\u2019 Reedtz was the anchor of Astralis\u2019 potent offense and stiff defense. Time and again, his AWP would be the difference maker to ensure the Red-and-Black won a crucial round and demoralize opponents. He\u2019s one of only five players to attend every Major in CSGO history and was awarded two HLTV MVP titles for the FACEIT London 2018 Major and the StarLadder Berlin Major 2019. 2. Gla1ve \u2013 4x If dev1ce\u2019s AWP was the brawn, then Lukas \u2018gla1ve\u2019 Rossander was the brains of the Astralis CSGO squad, along with head coach Danny \u2018zonic\u2019 S\u00f8rensen. The in-game dominance of Astralis\u2019 firepower was only matched by the tactical brilliance to dismantle teams. While other teammates would claim most stats, the impact of gla1ve\u2019s calls would shut down opponents before the first kill in a given round. 3. Xyp9x \u2013 4x Andreas \u2018Xyp9x\u2019 H\u00f8jsleth has long been hailed as \u2018the Clutch Minister\u2019 for being Astralis\u2019 safety net when needed the most. He\u2019s been to every Major and at one point held the record for most 1vX clutches at a single event (13) during IEM Katowice 2017. Though not the loudest of personalities, Xyp9x\u2019s gameplay has lit up arenas all over the world. 4. Dupreeh \u2013 4x The tip of the Astralis spear, Peter \u2018dupreeh\u2019 Rasmussen was instrumental in the Great Dane\u2019s overwhelming attack. While others might have lit up the leaderboard, it all came off the back of dupreeh\u2019s penchant for dismembering defenses. He\u2019s been named a Top-20 HLTV player nearly every year since 2013. 5. Magisk \u2013 3x Emil \u2018Magisk\u2019 Reif joined Astralis when it was well on its way to a dynasty but he immediately solidified himself as the gritty player the formula needed. With so much control and poise on the team, Magisk would be the spark that would ignite a round or shut down a stagnant offense. He was awarded the HLTV MVP for IEM Katowice 2019. 6. Flusha \u2013 3x Fnatic tore the CSGO scene apart with Robin \u2018flusha\u2019 R\u00f6nnquist at the helm. The team hoisted the first CSGO Major trophy at DreamHack Winter 2013 and claimed two back-to-back titles in 2015. Flusha\u2019s rifle would routinely be the lifeline Fnatic needed to pull together before running away with a match. They made up the last great dynasty before Astralis became the face of the modern age of CSGO. 7. Pronax \u2013 3x Markus \u2018pronax\u2019 Wallste orchestrated Fnatic\u2019s offense at the height of its power. The IGL was pivotal in the Swedes claimings three Majors in two years. Though Pronax would be overlooked by the legendary names at his flank, Fnatic claimed a lot of success off the back of Markus\u2019s calls. 8. JW \u2013 3x Two letters that still lights up venues after all these years, Jesper \u2018JW\u2019 Wecksell has long been Fnatic\u2019s ace when the team\u2019s in a hole. His AWP would torment both sides of the map and his play would lay out the blueprint for how others would use the Big Green for years to come. 9. Olofmeister \u2013 2x The best CSGO player in 2015, Olof \u2018olofmeister\u2019 Kajbjer Gustafsson has cemented his name and in-game likeness into CSGO history throughout his career. He\u2019s one of only five players to attend all Majors to date. His trophies came from Fnatic\u2019s triumphs at Katowice and Cologne 2015, and his legend only grows with every clutch or multikill in the twilight era of his career on FaZe Clan. 10. KRIMZ \u2013 2x Mr. Consistency, Freddy \u2018KRIMZ\u2019 Johansson was the safety net of Fnatic\u2019s immaculate offense. If it wasn\u2019t JW getting picks, it was olaf and KRIMZ laying waste to frontline defenses. He still holds the record for highest kills in a single regulation map on LAN (44) and his catalog of 1vX clutches still defies belief.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
