The Counter-Strike scene continues to grow not only in popularity but also in financial scale. Analysts from Esports Charts have published an updated ranking of the teams with the highest prize earnings in the history of the discipline, with Natus Vincere firmly holding first place. At the same time, the rapid rise of Team Vitality in 2025\u20132026 has already pushed the organization into the top three.<\/p>\n

NAVI Remain Number One<\/h3>\n

Ukrainian organization Natus Vincere tops the all-time ranking with $12.40 million in Counter-Strike prize winnings. NAVI have remained one of the biggest brands in the scene for years, with their most iconic period being the dominant 2021 season.<\/p>\n

Even after a generational shift and the transition to CS2, the club continues to perform consistently at top events and maintains its status as the most successful organization by prize money earned.<\/p>\n\n

Second place belongs to Astralis with $10.83 million. The Danish team built its legacy through its dominant 2018\u20132019 era, winning multiple Majors and becoming one of the most iconic rosters in Counter-Strike history.<\/p>\n

Third place now belongs to Team Vitality with $10.37 million. Thanks to phenomenal results over the last two seasons, the French-European lineup has rapidly closed the gap to Astralis. If the team continues winning in 2026, it could soon become the second-richest organization in Counter-Strike history.<\/p>\n

FaZe, G2 and MOUZ Also in the Top Tier<\/h3>\n

Fourth place goes to FaZe Clan with $9.76 million. Despite inconsistency in recent seasons, FaZe remain one of the most successful international teams in the scene.<\/p>\n

They are followed by:<\/p>\n

G2 Esports \u2014 $7.22 million
\nMOUZ \u2014 $7.09 million
\nTeam Liquid \u2014 $6.61 million
\nFnatic \u2014 $6.38 million
\nVirtus.pro \u2014 $5.91 million
\nTeam Spirit \u2014 $5.49 million<\/p>\n

A special mention goes to Team Spirit, who continue climbing quickly thanks to the success of their new generation roster and strong results in the CS2 era.<\/p>\n\n

What It Means Now<\/h3>\n

The modern Counter-Strike scene is changing quickly. While NAVI and Astralis built most of their earnings during the golden CS:GO years, Vitality and Spirit are collecting the majority of their prize money in the new CS2 era.<\/p>\n

Given their current form, Vitality look like the strongest candidate to keep climbing before the end of 2026. If NAVI return to winning the biggest titles, the battle for first place could become very real again.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
