Astralis stands as the most successful team in CS:GO Major history, securing an impressive 4 Major championships. Their dominance peaked between 2018 and 2019 when they won three consecutive Majors - FACEIT London 2018, IEM Katowice 2019, and StarLadder Berlin 2019.

The Danish powerhouse's first Major victory came at ELEAGUE Atlanta 2017, marking the beginning of what would become the most dominant era in competitive CS:GO. The core lineup of dev1ce, dupreeh, Xyp9x, gla1ve, and Magisk was instrumental in achieving this unprecedented success.

Following Astralis, Fnatic and Luminosity/SK Gaming (now MIBR) are tied for second place with 2 Major victories each. Fnatic's victories came during the early days of CS:GO Majors at ESL One Katowice 2015 and ESL One Cologne 2015. The Brazilian core of Luminosity/SK Gaming claimed their titles at MLG Columbus 2016 and ESL One Cologne 2016.

Several other prestigious organizations have won one Major each:

Natus Vincere (PGL Stockholm 2021)
Team Vitality (BLAST.tv Paris Major 2023)
Cloud9 (ELEAGUE Boston 2018)
Gambit Gaming (PGL Krakow 2017)
Virtus.pro (EMS One Katowice 2014)
NIP (ESL One Cologne 2014)
EnVyUs (DreamHack Cluj-Napoca 2015)

What makes Astralis's achievement particularly remarkable is that they won their Majors during an era of heightened competition and professionalism in CS:GO, cementing their legacy as the greatest CS:GO team of all time.

The team's strategic approach, innovation in utility usage, and exceptional teamwork revolutionized how Counter-Strike is played at the highest level. Their record of 4 Major victories will likely stand as one of competitive CS:GO's most difficult achievements to surpass.
