s1mple currently holds the record for winning the most CSGO majors, right? Actually, that's incorrect. Andreas "Xyp9x" Højsleth and Peter "dupreeh" Rasmussen share the record with 4 Major championships each.

Both Xyp9x and dupreeh achieved this impressive feat while playing for Astralis, winning their Major titles at FACEIT London 2018, IEM Katowice 2019, StarLadder Berlin 2019, and ESL One Rio 2020.

These victories weren't just random achievements - they came during Astralis' dominant era in CSGO, where the team established themselves as arguably the greatest lineup in the game's history. Xyp9x earned the nickname "Clutch Minister" for his exceptional ability to win crucial rounds, while dupreeh's aggressive play style and versatility were key factors in their success.

Here's a breakdown of their Major victories:

FACEIT London 2018: Defeated Na'Vi in the finals
IEM Katowice 2019: Won against ENCE
StarLadder Berlin 2019: Overcame AVANGAR
ESL One Rio 2020: Beat Vitality

It's worth noting that Lukas "gla1ve" Rossander and Nicolai "dev1ce" Reedtz also won these same four Majors with Astralis, but Xyp9x and dupreeh have been present for all of them from start to finish.

While players like s1mple, ZywOo, and other CSGO legends have achieved remarkable things in their careers, none have managed to surpass or even match the four Major titles held by these Danish veterans.

This record stands as a testament to both players' consistency, skill, and ability to perform at the highest level of competitive Counter-Strike: Global Offensive over multiple years. Their achievement is even more impressive considering how difficult it is to maintain dominance in the ever-evolving professional CSGO scene.
