Every one of them left a mark, but if you look at the club’s history as a whole, two periods stand out the most: the very first lineup and the five-man unit that played for the team from 2019 to 2022.</p><h3>Achievements of the first roster</h3><p>paiN’s first lineup featured Frederico “atx” Maia, Philippe “felippe1” Martinez, Willian “Lul4” Elias, and Rafael “dmz” Lavigne. This four-man core was where the organisation started putting together its first real results in Counter-Strike.</p><p>Their early highlights included a bronze finish at SteelSeries Summer Cup 2012 and second place at Razer Challenge Brasil 2013. For a young club, that was a solid start and its first real boost in visibility.</p><h3>The 2019-2022 roster</h3><p>The 2019 to 2022 period was one of the most successful in paiN’s history. At different points, the team featured Arthur “f4stzin” Schmitt, Wesley “hardzao” Lopes,&nbsp;Felipe “skullz” Medeiros,&nbsp;Romeu “zevy” Rocco,&nbsp;Rodrigo “biguzera” Bittencourt, Gabriel “nython” Lino, and&nbsp;Rafael “saffee” Costa. Bruno “ellllll” Ono worked with the team, and in November 2021, Henrique “rikz” Waku joined paiN’s staff and started working alongside ellllll. At PGL Major Stockholm 2021, Felippe “felippe1” Martinez temporarily took over coaching duties at the event because ellllll could not attend.</p><p>This was the roster that brought paiN a string of strong results: wins at Gamers Club Liga Profissional: May 2019, Gamers Club Masters III, Brasil Game Cup 2019, ESEA Season 35: Open Division — North America, DreamHack Open January 2021: North America, BLAST Premier: Spring American Showdown 2022, ESL Challenger League Season 41: North America, and ESL Challenger at DreamHack Melbourne 2022. Another standout result was second place at FiReLEAGUE 2022: Global Finals.</p>

Matthew "d4rty" Paplawskas soon replaced micro.</p><p>This core won Thunderpick World Championship 2023 North America Series 1 and ESEA Pre-Season Circuit Summer 2023 North America. The Thunderpick win earned the team $20,000 and showed that the new tag could immediately compete with the stronger teams in the region.</p><h3>2024-2025 roster</h3><p>Wildcard's best-known five came together in summer 2024: Peter "stanislaw" Jarguz, Josh "JBa" Barutt, Aran "Sonic" Groesbeek, Tim "susp" Ångström, and Love "phzy" Smidebrant. Vincent "vinS" Jozefiak was the coach.</p><p>That lineup made it to the Shanghai Major, then kept its core for BLAST.tv Austin Major 2025. In Austin, Wildcard started the first stage 2-0, but lost its next three series and went out at 2-3. Changes followed after the event, and by the end of 2025 the lineup had effectively broken up.</p>

It included Guy Trakhtman “anarkez”, Aleksandr Kyulukoski “CacaNito”, Joel Holmlund “joel”, Jonas Olofsson “Lekr0” and Luka Voit “pr1metapz”, while Ladislav Kovac “GuardiaN” became the coach. Lekr0 played as the IGL, anarkez was the team’s AWPer, and the others filled the rifler roles. The team was only starting to build chemistry, so this lineup did not take any big wins. The biggest story from that time was the match against B8 at CCT Season 2 Europe Series 7, after which joel was removed from the team because of a ban from Akros.</p><h3>2025 roster</h3><p>After Oleksandr Kostyliev “s1mple” joined on July 28, 2025, the team looked completely different in terms of star power. In the period after July 31, the roster featured Nemanja Isakovic “nexa”, pr1metapz, CacaNito, s1mple and Andreas Maasing “aNdu”, while Luka Vukovic “emi” worked as coach for a short stretch. This roster delivered quickly: it reached the final of Exort The Proving Grounds Season 3, and in September it won ESL Challenger League Season 50 Cup 2, which was BC.Game’s first tournament win with s1mple. In autumn, the lineup changes continued, and on October 18 electroNic joined the team.</p>

<p>K27 is a Russian esports organization that officially launched the project on June 5, 2024. The idea for the club came from Ivan "Kondrat" Kondratov, who also became its founder and CEO.

In Chinese CS, the TYLOO name has meant a lot for years, and the team is often called one of the pioneers of the local pro scene.</p><p>Over the years, TYLOO has played hundreds of matches and tournaments, from regional leagues to big international events. The team has not always stayed close to the world’s top sides, but it has almost always remained an important force in Asia. Then, in the summer of 2025, the roster won FISSURE Playground #1, which became TYLOO’s first big LAN trophy outside Asia.</p><h2>TYLOO Achievements</h2><p>TYLOO is a team with a long history. The club had strong runs in older versions of Counter-Strike, in CS:GO, and now in CS2 as well. Below are the team’s main results, which best show its journey through the pro scene.</p><figure class="table"><table class="ck-table-resized"><colgroup><col style="width:25%;"><col style="width:25%;"><col style="width:25%;"><col style="width:25%;"></colgroup><thead><tr><th style="border-style:solid;">Tournament name</th><th style="border-style:solid;">City and dates</th><th style="border-style:solid;">Placement</th><th style="border-style:solid;">Prize money</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td style="border-style:solid;">WEG e-Stars 2009 - Continental Cup</td><td style="border-style:solid;">Seoul, July 26, 2009</td><td style="border-style:solid;">1st-3rd</td><td style="border-style:solid;">$21,300</td></tr><tr><td style="border-style:solid;">K1 League 2013 Season 3</td><td style="border-style:solid;">Shanghai, May 28 to June 30, 2013</td><td style="border-style:solid;">1st</td><td style="border-style:solid;">$24,300</td></tr><tr><td style="border-style:solid;">Asia Minor Championship - Cologne 2016</td><td style="border-style:solid;">Seoul, May 5-8, 2016</td><td style="border-style:solid;">1st</td><td style="border-style:solid;">$30,000</td></tr><tr><td style="border-style:solid;">ROG Masters 2017</td><td style="border-style:solid;">Kuala Lumpur, July 7-10, 2017</td><td style="border-style:solid;">2nd</td><td style="border-style:solid;">$58,800</td></tr><tr><td style="border-style:solid;">StarLadder &amp; ImbaTV Invitational Chongqing 2018</td><td style="border-style:solid;">Beibei, March 22-25, 2018</td><td style="border-style:solid;">1st</td><td style="border-style:solid;">$75,000</td></tr><tr><td style="border-style:solid;">Intel Extreme Masters XIII - Shanghai</td><td style="border-style:solid;">Shanghai, August 1-6, 2018</td><td style="border-style:solid;">2nd</td><td style="border-style:solid;">$50,000</td></tr><tr><td style="border-style:solid;">Perfect World League Season 1</td><td style="border-style:solid;">Online tournament, held from April 20 to May 3, 2021</td><td style="border-style:solid;">2nd</td><td style="border-style:solid;">$25,000</td></tr><tr><td style="border-style:solid;">Perfect World Asia League Summer 2020</td><td style="border-style:solid;">Online tournament, held from June 24 to July 10, 2020</td><td style="border-style:solid;">1st</td><td style="border-style:solid;">$25,000</td></tr><tr><td style="border-style:solid;">CS:GO Asia Championships 2019</td><td style="border-style:solid;">Shanghai, November 20-24, 2019</td><td style="border-style:solid;">3rd-4th</td><td style="border-style:solid;">$50,000</td></tr><tr><td style="border-style:solid;">5E Arena Asia Cup 2022</td><td style="border-style:solid;">Online, August 12-14, 2022</td><td style="border-style:solid;">1st</td><td style="border-style:solid;">$25,000</td></tr><tr><td style="border-style:solid;">ESL Challenger League Season 48: Asia</td><td style="border-style:solid;">Shanghai, July 15 to November 3, 2024</td><td style="border-style:solid;">1st</td><td style="border-style:solid;">$15,000</td></tr><tr><td style="border-style:solid;">Asian Champions League 2025</td><td style="border-style:solid;">Shanghai, May 6-16, 2025</td><td style="border-style:solid;">1st</td><td style="border-style:solid;">$100,000</td></tr><tr><td style="border-style:solid;">FISSURE Playground #1</td><td style="border-style:solid;">Belgrade, July 15-20, 2025</td><td style="border-style:solid;">1st</td><td style="border-style:solid;">$150,000</td></tr><tr><td>IEM Cologne Major 2026 Stage 2</td><td>Cologne, June 6–9, 2026</td><td>6th-9th</td><td>$10,000</td></tr></tbody></table></figure><h2>How much they earned by year</h2><p>The team’s earnings over the last three years are shown in the table below.</p><figure class="table"><table class="ck-table-resized"><colgroup><col style="width:50%;"><col style="width:50%;"></colgroup><thead><tr><th style="border-style:solid;">Year</th><th style="border-style:solid;">Prize money</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td style="border-style:solid;">2023</td><td style="border-style:solid;">$22,401</td></tr><tr><td style="border-style:solid;">2024</td><td style="border-style:solid;">$60,235</td></tr><tr><td style="border-style:solid;">2025</td><td style="border-style:solid;">$373,316</td></tr><tr><td style="border-style:solid;">2026</td><td style="border-style:solid;">$160,405.86</td></tr></tbody></table></figure><h2>History of TYLOO lineups</h2><p>TYLOO has been around for a long time, and plenty of strong players have gone through the main roster.

These players were no less successful than the lineup before them and brought the organization plenty more trophies. The biggest results were championship wins at Huya Asia Championships, eXTREMESLAND 2019, Perfect World Asia League Summer 2020, and 5E Arena Asia Cup 2022, along with runner-up finishes at Asia Minor Championship - Berlin 2019, Perfect World League Season 1, and ESL Challenger League Season 40: Asia-Pacific.</p>

<p>100 Thieves is an American esports organization based in Los Angeles. The org launched in November 2017, with former professional Call of Duty player Matthew "Nadeshot" Haag as its founder. The club entered Counter-Strike on December 13, 2017 with the Brazilian ex-Immortals roster, but that lineup never played an official match under the tag. Later, 100 Thieves returned by buying out the Renegades core, reached the IEM Beijing 2019 final, left CS:GO in 2020, and came back in CS2 in November 2025.</p><p>Today, 100 Thieves are not just a team. They are a major gaming brand with media, merch, and several rosters across different titles.</p><h2>100 Thieves achievements</h2><p>100 Thieves' best Counter-Strike results came during their run with the Australian Renegades core. The team never won a Major or lifted the biggest trophy, but they were a steady playoff threat and could go toe-to-toe with top teams at big events.</p><figure class="table"><table class="ck-table-resized"><colgroup><col style="width:25%;"><col style="width:25%;"><col style="width:25%;"><col style="width:25%;"></colgroup><thead><tr><th style="border-style:solid;">Tournament</th><th style="border-style:solid;">City and dates</th><th style="border-style:solid;">Place</th><th style="border-style:solid;">Prize money</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td style="border-style:solid;">IEM Beijing 2019</td><td style="border-style:solid;">Beijing, November 7-10, 2019</td><td style="border-style:solid;">2nd</td><td style="border-style:solid;">$50,000</td></tr><tr><td style="border-style:solid;">ESL Pro League Season 10 Finals</td><td style="border-style:solid;">Odense, December 3-8, 2019</td><td style="border-style:solid;">7th-8th</td><td style="border-style:solid;">$17,000</td></tr><tr><td style="border-style:solid;">IEM Katowice 2020</td><td style="border-style:solid;">Katowice, February 24-March 1, 2020</td><td style="border-style:solid;">5th-6th</td><td style="border-style:solid;">$15,000</td></tr><tr><td style="border-style:solid;">DreamHack Masters Spring 2020: North America</td><td style="border-style:solid;">Online, May 19-June 14, 2020</td><td style="border-style:solid;">3rd</td><td style="border-style:solid;">$15,000</td></tr><tr><td style="border-style:solid;">ESL Pro League Season 12: North America</td><td style="border-style:solid;">Online, September 1-27, 2020</td><td style="border-style:solid;">2nd</td><td style="border-style:solid;">$38,000</td></tr><tr><td style="border-style:solid;">IEM New York 2020: North America</td><td style="border-style:solid;">Online, October 6-18, 2020</td><td style="border-style:solid;">2nd</td><td style="border-style:solid;">$10,000</td></tr><tr><td style="border-style:solid;">Digital Crusade DraculaN Season 5</td><td style="border-style:solid;">Bucharest, February 26-28, 2026</td><td style="border-style:solid;">2nd</td><td style="border-style:solid;">$3,750</td></tr></tbody></table></figure><h2>Prize money by year</h2><p>100 Thieves have not earned that much in Counter-Strike compared with clubs that stayed in the game without long breaks.</p><figure class="table"><table class="ck-table-resized"><colgroup><col style="width:50%;"><col style="width:50%;"></colgroup><thead><tr><th style="border-style:solid;">Year</th><th style="border-style:solid;">Prize money</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td style="border-style:solid;">2019</td><td style="border-style:solid;">$67,000</td></tr><tr><td style="border-style:solid;">2020</td><td style="border-style:solid;">$123,500</td></tr><tr><td style="border-style:solid;">2026</td><td style="border-style:solid;">$106,287.34</td></tr></tbody></table></figure><h2>100 Thieves roster history</h2><p>In Counter-Strike, 100 Thieves have had three main chapters: the Brazilian start in 2017, the Australian team from 2019 to 2020, and the European CS2 project from 2025 to 2026. These chapters are very different. The first one fell apart before it got going, the second brought the team its best results, and the third is built around experienced stars and young riflers.</p><h3>First roster achievements</h3><p>100 Thieves announced their first CS:GO roster on December 13, 2017, after buying it out from Immortals. The lineup included&nbsp;Henrique "HEN1" Teles, Lucas "LUCAS1" Teles, Vito "kNgV-" Giuseppe, Lincoln "fnx" Lau, and Bruno "BIT" Fukuda Lima. On paper, it looked strong, as some of the players had reached the PGL Major Krakow 2017 final with Immortals.</p><p>But that roster never played for 100 Thieves. The team withdrew from the ELEAGUE Major 2018 because of visa issues, and the project quickly shut down after the controversial events between kNgV- and journalist Thorin. Because of that, the first roster has no real achievements under the 100 Thieves tag.</p><h3>2020 roster</h3><p>The most successful 100 Thieves roster came together after the Renegades core joined. The team fielded Aaron "AZR" Ward (captain),&nbsp;Justin "jks" Savage&nbsp;(rifler),&nbsp;Joakim "jkaem" Myrbostad&nbsp;(rifler), Jay "Liazz" Tregillgas (rifler), and Sean "Gratisfaction" Kaiwai (AWPer). Aleksandar "kassad" Trifunovic was the coach, with Chet "Chet" Singh later taking over.</p><p>In 2020, the roster took second place at ESL Pro League Season 12: North America and IEM New York 2020: North America.</p>

<p>Inner Circle is a British esports organization that was legally established in London on December 13th, 2024 under the name INNER CIRCLE ESPORTS LTD. The organization fielded its first CS2 roster on January 17th, 2025. In a short span, the tag has already gone through several resets, fielded international, Polish, and Ukrainian lineups, and made it to a number of big tournaments.</p><h2>Inner Circle achievements</h2><p>For a young team, Inner Circle already has a solid set of results under its belt.

A hard reshuffle hit in the summer: oskar left, Fessor moved to the bench, Q-Q left the lineup, and STYKO was benched soon after.</p><h3>2025 roster</h3><p>On September 25th, 2025, Inner Circle fully bought out the TNL roster together with coach Dmytro “jR” Chervak.

The new five got results fast: they debuted with a win over&nbsp;<a href="/teams/3dmax" target="_self">3DMAX</a>&nbsp;in EPL Season 22 Stage 1, made it to the league's main stage, beat The MongolZ, and soon reached the final of Galaxy Battle 2025 Phase 4.</p><p>Changes followed in the winter of 2025: cairne left for&nbsp;<a href="/teams/nip" target="_self">NiP</a>, Flierax was moved to the bench, and&nbsp;<a href="/players/cptkurtka023" target="_self">Arseniy “cptkurtka023” Derevynskyi</a>,&nbsp;<a href="/players/zerrofix" target="_self">Eduard “zeRRoFIX” Petrovskyi</a>, and later&nbsp;<a href="/players/headtr1ck" target="_self">Daniil “headtr1ck” Valitov</a>&nbsp;joined the active five.

<p>Team Spirit was founded on December 6, 2015, and over time it became one of the most recognizable orgs in the CIS across multiple titles. Since 2022, the club’s main office has been based in Belgrade. Spirit entered Counter-Strike in the summer of 2016, when it signed a five-man lineup that had previously played together as the Phenomenon mix. Since then, Spirit has gone from grinding regional qualifiers to winning the Shanghai CS2 Major.</p><h2>Team Spirit achievements</h2><p>Spirit has had plenty of standout matches, tense finals, and wins at tier-1 events.

Below are the key periods that show how the team grew.</p><h3>Achievements of the first roster</h3><p>In June 2016, the lineup that had played as Phenomenon moved under the Spirit tag. That early five featured COLDYY1, S0tF1k, Dima, DavCost, and tonyblack (kibaken). Back then, the team mostly played qualifiers and gained experience on its first LANs.</p><p>The biggest results from that era were tied to the minor scene. In 2016, Spirit took second place at the StarLadder Regional Minor Championship CIS (a qualifier for ELEAGUE Major 2017) and earned $15,000. In 2018, the team reached the final of StarLadder &amp; ImbaTV Invitational Chongqing and took $35,000.</p><h3>The 2019–2022 roster</h3><p>In spring 2019, Spirit started building a new core. In March,&nbsp;chopper&nbsp;and iDISBALANCE joined, and in September 2019 the roster was boosted by&nbsp;mir&nbsp;and 17-year-old&nbsp;<a href="/players/magixx" target="_self">magixx</a>. In early 2021,&nbsp;degster&nbsp;joined as the sniper, and the team looked a lot more dangerous in clutch rounds.</p><p>The peak of this period was in 2022. Spirit reached the PGL Major Antwerp 2022 semifinals (3–4th place) and earned $70,000. That same year, the team won FiReLEAGUE 2022: Global Finals and took $100,000. After that, another rebuild started, because the meta was shifting and CS2 was already close.</p>

Portugal

<p>DENDELE is a Portuguese esports organization founded in August 2017. From the very start, the team competed primarily in Counter-Strike, and that discipline became their main home. The organization is based in Portugal, and represents the South American region. Team started out as Sharks Esports and then was renamed after partnering with brazilian DENDELE FC.</p><h2>DENDELE Achievements</h2><p>Some of DENDELE's biggest results from CS:GO through the move to CS2:</p><figure class="table"><table class="ck-table-resized"><colgroup><col style="width:25%;"><col style="width:25%;"><col style="width:25%;"><col style="width:25%;"></colgroup><thead><tr><th style="border-style:solid;">Tournament</th><th style="border-style:solid;">City and dates</th><th style="border-style:solid;">Placement</th><th style="border-style:solid;">Prize money</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td style="border-style:solid;">ESL Pro League Season 7</td><td style="border-style:solid;">Online, May 15–20, 2018</td><td style="border-style:solid;">13th–16th place</td><td style="border-style:solid;">$20,000</td></tr><tr><td style="border-style:solid;">Esports Championship Series Season 8 - Finals</td><td style="border-style:solid;">Arlington, November 28–December 1, 2019</td><td style="border-style:solid;">7th–8th place</td><td style="border-style:solid;">$12,500</td></tr><tr><td style="border-style:solid;">ESL Pro League Season 10 - Finals</td><td style="border-style:solid;">Odense, December 3–8, 2019</td><td style="border-style:solid;">13th–16th place</td><td style="border-style:solid;">$14,000</td></tr><tr><td style="border-style:solid;">Tribo To Major</td><td style="border-style:solid;">Online, September 20–October 12, 2020</td><td style="border-style:solid;">2nd place</td><td style="border-style:solid;">$4,000</td></tr><tr><td style="border-style:solid;">PGL Major Stockholm 2021</td><td style="border-style:solid;">Stockholm, October 26–November 7, 2021</td><td style="border-style:solid;">23rd–24th place</td><td style="border-style:solid;">—</td></tr><tr><td style="border-style:solid;">CBCS Finals 2021</td><td style="border-style:solid;">São Paulo, December 17–21, 2021</td><td style="border-style:solid;">1st place</td><td style="border-style:solid;">$19,145.42</td></tr><tr><td style="border-style:solid;">BLAST Premier: Fall Showdown 2022 (Americas)</td><td style="border-style:solid;">Online, October 19-23, 2022</td><td style="border-style:solid;">3rd-4th place</td><td style="border-style:solid;">$7,500</td></tr><tr><td style="border-style:solid;">ESL Pro League Season 19</td><td style="border-style:solid;">St. Julian’s, April 23–May 12, 2024</td><td style="border-style:solid;">29th–32nd place</td><td style="border-style:solid;">$3,500</td></tr><tr><td style="border-style:solid;">Odyssey Cup Brazil 2025</td><td style="border-style:solid;">Online, May 13–June 14, 2025</td><td style="border-style:solid;">1st place</td><td style="border-style:solid;">$12,626.48</td></tr><tr><td style="border-style:solid;">CCT Season 3 South American Series #4</td><td style="border-style:solid;">Online, September 4–16, 2025</td><td style="border-style:solid;">1st place</td><td style="border-style:solid;">$10,000</td></tr><tr><td style="border-style:solid;">CCT Season 3 South American Series #5</td><td style="border-style:solid;">Online, October 6–18, 2025</td><td style="border-style:solid;">1st place</td><td style="border-style:solid;">$10,000</td></tr><tr><td style="border-style:solid;">CBCS Masters Xeque Mate 2025</td><td style="border-style:solid;">Rio de Janeiro, November 15–16, 2025</td><td style="border-style:solid;">1st place</td><td style="border-style:solid;">$18,311.89</td></tr><tr><td style="border-style:solid;">BetBoom RUSH B!

The team never had one defining "era" the way some top orgs did, but they built a reputation as one of South America's most consistent sides — always competitive, always rebuilding toward something bigger.&nbsp;</p><h3>First Roster</h3><p>In DENDELE's first lineup, Renato "nak" Nakano played as the veteran anchor, alongside Leonardo "leo_drk" Oliveira, Raphael "exit" Lacerda, Wesley "GW" Vinicius, and KHTEX. The coach from day one was Helder "coachi" Sancho, one of the few constants in the team's entire history. This squad played out of a gaming house in Lisbon and won two domestic events in their first six months: Famalicao Extreme Gaming and Superliga. In May 2018, they made it to ESL Pro League Season 7 — a serious stage for a team that young — and placed 13th, earning around $20,000. By late 2019, meyern had joined and was bought out by MIBR shortly after, marking one of the first times a bigger org came knocking for a DENDELE player.</p><h3>2024-2026 Roster</h3><p>From 2024 to 2026, DENDELE moved from frequent rebuilding toward a more defined CS2 lineup. Earlier in this period, the team rotated through players such as Jhonatan “jnt” Silva, Lucas “Lucaozy” Neves, Vinicius “n1ssim” Pereira and drg while searching for stability. By 2025, the core had settled around Victor “gafolo” Andrade, Daniel “rdnzao” Monteiro, Joao “koala” Pfeffer, Danilo “doc” Barros and Maximo “maxxkor” Cortina, with longtime coach Helder “coachi” Sancho continuing to lead from behind the team. This version of DENDELE became one of the organization’s most productive modern lineups, winning BetBoom RUSH B! Summit 2026, adding strong CCT South American results, and reaching larger international stages, including the CCT Season 3 Global Finals and IEM Cologne Major 2026 qualification.</p>

<p>FaZe Clan was founded on May 30, 2010. The organization was created by Eric “CLipZ” Rivera, Jeff “House Cat” Emann, and Ben “Resistance” Christensen. At first, it was a Call of Duty content team, but the club entered Counter-Strike in January 2016, when it signed the G2 lineup and instantly started playing big tournaments. After that, FaZe went through a long road of rebuilds and “star” additions, with the main peak coming in 2022 after winning PGL Major Antwerp and picking up ESL titles.</p><h2>Faze achievements</h2><p>FaZe often delivers in the late rounds: force buys, 1vX clutches, and comebacks even after a bad pistol round.

Sometimes that meant pure firepower, but sometimes the discipline dipped and the team dropped “free” rounds. Most of the time, FaZe either fought for trophies or went back into a rebuild.</p><h3>Achievements of the first roster</h3><p>FaZe’s first Counter-Strike roster looked like this: Maikelele,&nbsp;rain,&nbsp;jkaem,&nbsp;aizy, and fox.<br>At the start of 2016, the team was still getting used to the tier-one scene and building experience at major events.
