Top 5 strongest teams for June 2024

The balance of power between teams on the professional stage is constantly changing, and even the smallest tournament can affect this. In the entire history of Counter-Strike, there have only been a few teams with their own eras when they could truly be called invincible. But recently, especially after the release of CS2, this trend has become a thing of the past. Now the ranking of the strongest teams is constantly changing, and a new team can win each tournament. In this material we will discuss the strongest teams for June 2024 and compile the top 5 strongest teams at the moment. It is worth noting that it will not coincide with the HLTV rating, because one of its factors is past achievements and points for tournaments last for several months.

5th place – FaZe Clan

For a long time, FaZe Clan deservedly occupied 1st place in this rating, but now the team is no longer such a formidable opponent and contender for every title. The team spent too much time traveling and tournaments, which naturally led to general fatigue and burnout. The end of the season before the holidays is quite an important time, because the reshuffles that will occur during the general inactivity depend on it, and FaZe Clan simply does not have the strength left to compete with other world giants. However, the team still remains one of the strongest, it contains some of the best players in each position, and it is almost impossible to find a replacement for its captain in the person of Finn karrigan Andersen, he is on a completely different level, not even in terms of tactics, but in team management . He was able to gather completely different esportsmen with different mentalities and still manages them so that together they can compete with any opponent. Even when a team is having a bad time, it can always turn on at the last moment and suddenly play as before, destroying everyone in its path.

4th place – Team Vitality

Team Vitality haven’t won anything for a long time, but the talent of Mathieu ZywOo Herbaut cannot be denied. This French sniper is rightfully considered the best player on the planet for several years. Now he is hardly in his best shape, but he always has a chance to give an unreal performance. In the old days, the team often won only because of his actions on the server, but over the past year, other strong shooters have joined the team and can complement his success. The year 2024 did not start very successfully for Team Vitality, but the last two tournaments showed that the team is beginning to return to the first lines of the world rankings. The team had a great time at ESL Pro League Season 19 and IEM Dallas 2024, but they were missing something in the grand finals. Perhaps after the holidays they will be able to get into perfect shape and dominate the professional scene again.

3rd place – G2 Esports

It would not have been possible to see G2 Esports in this ranking a couple of weeks ago. The team has a rather weak captain and two more unstable players in Nemanja nexa Isakovic and Nemanja huNter- Kovac, but the result at IEM Dallas 2024 was one of the most high-profile events in recent years. The team managed to win a long-awaited victory at a big tournament and did it with a replacement. While Rasmus HooXi Nielsen celebrated his sister’s wedding, one of the team’s main shooters, Nikola NiKo Kovac, had to take over the management of the team, which was already experiencing big problems, and Jake Stewie2k Yip, who had not competed on the shooting range for a couple of years, also joined the team. 1 scene. Despite all this, G2 Esports was able to show their best sides and reveal themselves to the maximum. And if she draws the right conclusions from her victory at IEM Dallas 2024, she will be able to win on her starting roster. It’s too early to say that G2 have returned to the top of the professional scene, but at the moment they have the right to be considered one of the strongest teams in the world.

2nd place – Team Spirit

Team Spirit is rightfully considered one of the main discoveries of 2024. Unexpectedly for everyone, the team appeared out of nowhere and showed absolute dominance at IEM Katowice 2024 – one of the most important tournaments of the year. After that, she even became the main favorite of PGL Major Copenhagen 2024, but could not cope with the pressure due to lack of experience. The team has one of the strongest snipers on the professional scene in the person of Dmitry sh1ro Sokolov and the most promising shooter – Danil donk Kryshkovets. Donk himself came from an academic background and, at 17 years old, has no fear of the most experienced players; he almost always destroys them without a chance. So far, the main star of the team and the team itself have not been able to perform at their best in the most important moments of tournaments, but when he gains experience, Team Spirit can establish their dominance on the professional scene.

1st place – MOUZ

The leader of the power rating is deservedly MOUZ. In some places this is still an unstable team, but only due to its young age. Contrary to all expectations, the team has become the main contender for every trophy, and why it wins until the end is not clear. Some Team Spirit players grew up from the academy, while MOUZ has almost the entire roster. For a long time they were unable to perform well in the playoffs, but once the team gained experience, it was almost impossible to stop them. This season she won two major tournaments as an outsider, but in both of them she finished the match with a score of 3:0 and left no chance for her famous opponents. MOUZ is deservedly considered the strongest team in the world, despite the total failure at IEM Dallas 2024 – this could simply be a coincidence or fatigue from past tournaments or a long flight and jetlag in America.

The presented rating will most likely be the final one before the players’ big vacation, which will last about a month. By July it could change dramatically, because there will be no tournaments for quite a long time, which means that the balance of power on the competitive scene can change dramatically. Some will spend this time on grueling training, while other teams will prefer to vacation at various resorts.
