Bästa CS2-lagen år 2025

The CS2 2025 season turned out to be extremely intense and competitive. Throughout the year, many prestigious tournaments were held, including two Majors, which became the main highlights of the season and helped determine the strongest teams in the world.

The 2025 season gave fans spectacular matches, major upsets, and unexpected results, but also painful disappointments for the favorites. In this blog, we will take a closer look at the top 10 CS2 teams of 2025, focusing on their performances at key tournaments, their consistency, and their overall impact on the professional scene.

10 – Aurora Gaming

Aurora roster:

• XANTARES
• MAJ3R
• Wicadia
• woxic
• soulfly

We begin our list of the best CS2 teams with the Turkish squad Aurora. While the team didn’t secure many major titles during the year, they were regular participants in tier-1 tournaments. Their first big event was PGL Bucharest 2025, where Aurora finished 5–8th after losing 1–2 to Complexity. At PGL Astana 2025, the Turkish lineup reached the semifinals but failed to overcome FURIA, finishing in 3rd place. Esports World Cup 2025 ended with a painful 0–3 loss to The MongolZ in the grand final, earning Aurora 2nd place.

Despite a series of setbacks, Aurora confidently won PGL Masters Bucharest 2025 with a $200,000 prize pool. These results demonstrate the team’s solid competitive level, showing that even amid temporary difficulties, Aurora can challenge stronger opponents.

9 – G2 Esports

G2 roster:

• huNter-
• malbsMd
• HeavyGod
• SunPayus
• matys

For G2, 2025 became a year of major changes. The team lost two key players, NiKo and m0NESY. The organization began rebuilding the roster, but in the first half of the year failed to achieve significant results. Positive changes followed the arrival of SunPayus as AWPer and sAw as head coach. These moves paid off, as in September G2 defeated Vitality 3–2 in the BLAST Open Fall 2025 final.

However, this remained the team’s only major victory of the year. Additionally, G2 finished 3rd in the BLAST Frequent Flyers Program 2025, earning $230,000. A difficult but productive year for G2 shows that the team is ready to put in the work to improve.

8 – Team Spirit

Team Spirit roster:

• magixx
• zont1x
• donk
• sh1ro
• tN1R

Team Spirit were frequent finalists at major tournaments in 2025. Their victories include BLAST Bounty Spring 2025, PGL Astana 2025, Intel Extreme Masters Cologne 2025, and BLAST Bounty Fall 2025. They also placed 2nd at Intel Extreme Masters Katowice 2025 and earned $423,000 through the BLAST Frequent Flyers Program 2025.

The team’s success often revolves around the phenomenal performance of donk, known for his incredible aim and deep understanding of the game. After a disappointing run at the StarLadder Budapest Major 2025, where Spirit lost 0–2 to Vitality, the team made roster changes—bringing magixx back into the active lineup and benching captain chopper along with rookie zweih. Despite these changes, Team Spirit remain one of the most dangerous opponents and could further improve in 2026.

7 – NAVI

NAVI roster:

• b1t
• Aleksib
• iM
• w0nderful
• makazze

NAVI showed average but consistent results throughout 2025. The team frequently reached the final stages of major tournaments but often fell just short of the title. BLAST Bounty Spring 2025, Intel Extreme Masters Katowice 2025, and Intel Extreme Masters Cologne 2025 all ended with 3–4th place finishes for NAVI.

Their main triumph came at StarLadder StarSeries Fall 2025, where they defeated NiP 2–0 in the final. At the final Major of the year, StarLadder Budapest Major 2025, NAVI entered without favorite status but still reached the playoffs, eventually losing to FaZe Clan and finishing 3–4th. The Ukrainian squad is still searching for consistency, but 2026 may bring a stronger and more refined NAVI.

6 – The MongolZ

The MongolZ roster:

• bLitz
• Techno4K
• 910
• mzinho
• controlez

Without a doubt, 2025 became a breakout year for The MongolZ. Their first strong showing came at Intel Extreme Masters Katowice 2025, where they finished 3–4th. The Mongolian squad surprised many at the BLAST.tv Austin Major 2025 by reaching the grand final, where they narrowly lost 1–2 to Vitality.

They also secured silver medals at BLAST Bounty Fall 2025 and FISSURE Playground #2. Their biggest achievement was winning the Esports World Cup 2025, taking home $500,000. In October, just before the StarLadder Budapest Major 2025, The MongolZ made a surprising decision by benching one of their most consistent players, Senzu, replacing him with controlez. Despite this, they still reached the playoffs in Budapest, finishing 5–8th—once again proving their resilience and competitive strength.

5 – FaZe Clan

FaZe roster:

• broky
• karrigan
• frozen
• jcobbb
• Twistzz

For FaZe Clan, 2025 was a year of experimentation and change. In May, FaZe benched AWPer broky and loaned s1mple from NAVI until the end of the Austin Major. Unfortunately, this move did not bring the desired results. FaZe finished 9–12th at Intel Extreme Masters Dallas 2025, while BLAST.tv Austin Major 2025 ended with a 5–8th place finish.

The biggest surprise came at the StarLadder Budapest Major 2025, where FaZe reached the grand final but lost 1–3 to Vitality, finishing 2nd. Notably, FaZe were on the brink of elimination in the opening stage but managed to recover and make an incredible run to the final.

4 – MOUZ

MOUZ roster:

• torzsi
• xertioN
• impphat
• Brollan
• Spinx

MOUZ secured their only victory of the year at PGL Cluj-Napoca 2025. After that, the team frequently exited tournaments at the playoff stage. They finished 2nd at ESL Pro League Season 21, BLAST Open Spring 2025, Intel Extreme Masters Dallas 2025, and Intel Extreme Masters Cologne 2025.

These are solid results, but consistently falling just short of titles remains frustrating. Overall, it was a strong year for MOUZ, though they still need to find the mental edge to overcome their playoff curse.

3 – Team Falcons

Team Falcons roster:

• NiKo
• TeSeS
• kyxsan
• m0NESY
• kyousuke

Team Falcons boast star players such as NiKo, m0NESY, and TeSeS, yet they struggled to find consistent form. Their only tournament victory came at PGL Bucharest 2025. They also finished 2nd at PGL Cluj-Napoca 2025, Intel Extreme Masters Melbourne 2025, BLAST Rivals Spring 2025, and BLAST Rivals Fall 2025.

It became clear that the NiKo–m0NESY star duo alone was not enough to deliver championships. The team will need to rethink its approach to achieve better results in 2026. Still, these performances kept Falcons firmly in the top 5 throughout the year.

2 – FURIA

FURIA roster:

• yuurih
• KSCERATO
• FalleN
• molodoy
• YEKINDAR

FURIA took a major risk by internationalizing their roster, signing YEKINDAR and molodoy. Many were skeptical of this decision. The first half of 2025 was spent building tactics and improving communication, resulting in a lack of major victories.

A turning point came with a 5–8th place finish at BLAST.tv Austin Major 2025. After the summer break, FURIA surged, winning four tournaments in just two months: FISSURE Playground #2, Thunderpick World Championship 2025, Intel Extreme Masters Chengdu 2025, and BLAST Rivals Fall 2025.

These results made FURIA favorites heading into StarLadder Budapest Major 2025, especially after their dominant 3–0 win over Vitality at IEM Chengdu. However, the pressure proved too much, and FURIA exited the Major in 5–8th place. Despite this setback, the Brazilian squad had a strong year and showed impressive competitiveness heading into the new season.

1 – Vitality

Vitality roster:

• apEX
• ZywOo
• flameZ
• mezii
• ropz

Vitality were the undisputed CS2 giants of 2025. The year began with a victory at Intel Extreme Masters Katowice 2025, followed by triumphs at:

• ESL Pro League Season 21
• BLAST Open Spring 2025
• Intel Extreme Masters Melbourne 2025
• BLAST Rivals Spring 2025
• Intel Extreme Masters Dallas 2025
• ESL Pro League Season 22

Additionally, Vitality won both CS2 Majors of the year—BLAST.tv Austin Major 2025 and StarLadder Budapest Major 2025—claiming their third Major title overall. They also earned $1,000,000 through ESL Grand Slam Season 5 and an additional $461,000 from the BLAST Frequent Flyers Program 2025.

These achievements firmly establish Vitality as the strongest team of 2025. The only question now is whether they can maintain their dominance in the new season and continue cementing their legacy in Counter-Strike history.
