Top 10 Best Counter-Strike 2 Teams for August 2024. Part 2: 1-5 Place
After the release of Counter-Strike 2, the top 5 best teams in the world for the first time in a long time lost their stability. Teams in it change more often than they have time to make substitutions in the lineups, and the level of play of a certain team depends on the tournament in which it plays. In 2024, the champions of major events cannot repeat their success and often do not even make it to the playoffs after a resounding victory. In this article, we will discuss the top 5 best teams in Counter-Strike 2 for August 2024.
5th place – G2 Esports
Team roster: Nikola NiKo Kovac, Ilya m0NESY Osipov, Nemanja huNter- Kovac, Mario malbsMd Samayoa, Janusz Snax Pogorzelski
Achievements in 2024:
- Esports World Cup 2024 – 2nd place.
G2 Esports have finally made some roster changes. The change of captain and support player was immediately beneficial and the team was able to show a great result at their first tournament, considering that they had very little time to practice. Now the G2 Esports roster is one of the most promising and has every chance to take the first place in the rating of the best teams. Mario malbsMd Samayoa proves that he can show the same game as before on the tier-2 stage, but already on tier-1 against the strongest opponents, and Janusz Snax Pogorzelski showed that he is still capable of playing and managing a team despite his age.
4th place – Team Vitality
Team roster: Dan apEX Madesclaire, Mathieu ZywOo Herbaut, Lotan Spinx Giladi, Shahar flameZ Shushan, William mezii Merriman
Achievements in 2024:
- BLAST Premier Spring Groups 2024 – 1-4th place;
- IEM Katowice 2024 – 13-16th place;
- PGL CS2 Major Copenhagen 2024 – 3-4th place;
- ESL Pro League Season 19 – 2nd place;
- IEM Dallas 2024 – 2nd place;
- BLAST Premier Spring Final 2024 – 3rd-4th place;
- Esports World Cup 2024 – 5th-8th place.
Team Vitality is still a strong contender at any tournament, but the roster is clearly no longer at its best. When you have Mathieu ZywOo Herbaut on your team, you expect titles and high results at every tournament, but right now Team Vitality is content with only playing in the playoffs and the occasional second place. It is surprising that a team that needs changes can still be in the top four, but this is largely due to the team’s main star, but even Mathieu ZywOo Herbaut himself is not at his best.
3rd place – MOUZ
Team roster: Adam torzsi Torzash, Dorian xertioN Berman, Kamil siuhy Szkaradek, Jimmy Jimpphat Salo, Ludvig Brollan Brolin
Achievements in 2024:
- IEM Katowice 2024 – 3rd-4th place;
- PGL CS2 Major Copenhagen 2024 – 5th-8th place;
- IEM Chengdu 2024 – 2nd place;
- ESL Pro League Season 19 – 1st place;
- BetBoom Dacha Belgrade 2024 – 1st place;
- IEM Dallas 2024 – 9th-12th place;
- Esports World Cup 2024 – 3-4 place.
The community has mixed feelings about MOUZ’s roster. It is still the most unstable among the top teams, but it is undeniable that in the first half of 2024, the team managed to win two major tournaments, albeit without a large arena in the playoffs. Predicting MOUZ’s results in the new season is quite difficult, if the team can cope with its problems, it can take the top-1 again, but it also has a chance to fail in all tournaments and fly out of the top-10. Only time and future championships will tell.
2nd place – Team Spirit
Team roster: Boris magixx Vorobiev, Leonid chopper Vishnyakov, Myroslav zont1x Plakhotia, Danil donk Kryshkovets, Dmitry sh1ro Sokolov
Achievements for 2024:
- IEM Katowice 2024 – 1st place;
- BLAST Premier Spring Showdown 2024 – 1-2nd place;
- PGL CS2 Major Copenhagen 2024 – 5-8th place;
- BetBoom Dacha Belgrade 2024 – 2nd place;
- IEM Dallas 2024 – 3-4th place;
- BLAST Premier Spring Final 2024 – 1st place;
- Esports World Cup 2024 – 5-8th place.
Team Spirit is deservedly the main breakthrough of 2024. The team burst onto the tier-1 scene out of nowhere, starting its journey with the Play-In IEM Katowice 2024 and finishing one of the main championships of the year with its sensational victory. The team is still one of the youngest and has room to grow, but now Team Spirit is the most formidable opponent, because it has not only Danil donk Kryshkovets, but also a stable high-quality sniper in the person of Dmitry sh1ro Sokolov.
1st place – Natus Vincere
Team roster: Valeriy b1t Vakhovskiy, Aleksi Aleksib Virolainen, Justinas jL Lekavicius, Ivan iM Mihai, Ihor w0nderful Zhdanov
Achievements for 2024:
- BLAST Premier Spring Groups 2024 – 1-4 place;
- IEM Katowice 2024 – 7-8 place;
- PGL CS2 Major Copenhagen 2024 – 1 place;
- ESL Pro League Season 19 – 9-12 place;
- IEM Dallas 2024 – 9-12 place;
- BLAST Premier Spring Final 2024 – 2 place;
- Esports World Cup 2024 – 1 place.
You can continue to write off Natus Vincere’s victory at PGL CS2 Major Copenhagen 2024 as a fluke, but the team’s recent results at BLAST Premier Spring Final 2024 and Esports World Cup 2024 prove that NAVI’s coach was once again able to assemble a competitive roster without stars and lead them to victory at the two biggest tournaments of the year. Natus Vincere is still very unstable and after victories is not even able to make it to the playoffs at the next tournaments, but at the moment it is rightfully the best team in the world.
This rating will certainly not remain unchanged, the top 10 best teams in the world is an unstable phenomenon. Any of the teams can begin a sharp decline, and its place will be taken by another team, because the competition is now too high and there is no time to relax on the professional stage. Today you can be the champions of the major, and tomorrow you will not even get to the playoffs. Of the top five teams, G2 Esports with a new roster and Team Spirit with the progressing Danil donk Kryshkovets have the most chances for progress.
