The BLAST Paris Major put an end to a decade-long history of CS:GO Majors on May 21, 2023. Knowing that every single CS:GO Major is now behind us is a bittersweet feeling. On the one hand, it’s over, there will be no more. On the other hand, the game’s history is so rich we can’t help but feel pride and joy for being a part of it all. The end of an era is the best place to reflect upon said era, and that’s what we’re doing now by answering the question: What are the best CS:GO Major finals ever?
CS:GO launched on Aug. 21, 2012, but it took over a year for the first Major to take place. We doubt even the biggest believers back then expected DreamHack Winter 2013 to be the first of 19 such events, but here we are, a decade on from Fnatic becoming the first CS:GO Major champion.
