Who has won the most LAN matches in a row in Counter-Strike?
In this article, we’ve broken down the top 10 most iconic win streaks ever recorded.
Winning consistently on LAN is one of the toughest feats in Counter-Strike. It’s not just about firepower—it’s about staying sharp across multiple events, formats, and opponents.
Vitality joins the list
Now, Vitality have earned their place among Counter-Strike’s elite as well.
After a red-hot start to 2025, winning IEM Katowice, ESL Pro League Season 21, BLAST Open Lisbon, IEM Melbourne and BLAST Rivals, the apEX-led squad has strung together 25 consecutive LAN victories, marking the second-longest winning streak in CS:GO and CS2 history.
But who came before them, and how did they carve out their place in Counter-Strike history?
Top 10 LAN winning streaks in CS history
1. Ninjas in Pyjamas (2012–2013)
60-match LAN winning streak
Roster: GeT_RiGhT, friberg, Fifflaren, f0rest, Xizt
No list is complete without NiP’s legendary 60–0 run during CS:GO’s early days. This lineup dominated for over a year without dropping a single LAN match. Their streak ended in 2013 at the hands of Virtus.pro, but it remains untouched to this day. While the competition was still developing, NiP’s discipline, coordination, and consistency were in a league of their own.
2. Vitality (2025)
25-match LAN winning streak
Roster: apEX – ZywOo – flameZ – mezii – ropz
Vitality’s 2025 run has quickly become one of the most dominant in CS2 history. Led by apEX and fueled by stars like ZywOo, flameZ and ropz, the squad has won three straight trophies: IEM Katowice, ESL Pro League Season 21, BLAST Open Lisbon, IEM Melbourne and BLAST Rivals Season 1.
Their 25-match LAN win streak is the tied second-longest ever recorded in Counter-Strike history, and it’s still alive. With ZywOo in peak form and the roster firing on all cylinders, all eyes are on Vitality to see how far this streak can go.
3. Liquid (2019)
23-match LAN winning streak
Roster: EliGE – nitr0 – Stewie2k – NAF – Twistzz
In 2019, Liquid went on one of the most impressive streaks in modern CS:GO history. Following a loss in May 2019, the North American superteam bounced back with five elite tournament victories in a row: DreamHack Dallas, ESL Pro League S9, ESL One: Cologne, BLAST Pro Series Los Angeles, IEM Chicago.
Led by nitr0, with firepower from EliGE, NAF, Twistzz, and Stewie2K, Liquid looked unstoppable—until their run was ended by NRG at the Berlin Major. At their peak, they were the only team seen as a real threat to the dominant Astralis core.
4. Astralis (2018-2019)
17-match LAN winning streak
Roster: gla1ve – device – dupreeh – Xyp9x – Magisk
The greatest team of all time? Many would say yes. Astralis dominated 2018 and 2019, winning three consecutive Majors and countless S-tier events. Their strategic depth and flawless utility usage redefined how CS was played. Therefore, it’s no surprise that the Danish super team appear multiple times on this list.
5. Luminosity (2016)
15-match LAN winning streak
Roster: FalleN – TACO – fer – coldzera – fnx
The legendary Luminosity Gaming squad, later known as SK Gaming, were the pride of Brazilian Counter-Strike. Led by FalleN with stars like coldzera, fer, fnx, and TACO, the team went on a dominant tear in 2016, after already winning the MLG Columbus Major earlier that year.
The streak started at ESL Pro League Season 3 and ended at Esports Championship Series Season 1 Finals, where they lost to G2 in the Grand Final.
5. Natus Vincere (2021)
15-match LAN winning streak
Roster: s1mple – Boombl4 – Perfecto – b1t – electronic
Natus Vincere dominated the Counter-Strike scene back in 2021. With notable tournament wins such as the PGL Major in Stockholm 2021 and BLAST World Final 2021, Natus Vincere wrote itself into the history books as one of the best teams to ever play the game. Natus Vincere couldn’t extend their win streak as they fell short against their Russian rivals in Gambit back in October 2021.
7. Astralis (2019)
14-match LAN winning streak
8. G2 (2022-2023)
13-match LAN winning streak
Roster: HooXi – NiKo – huNter- – jks – m0NESY
Since the BLAST World Finals in 2022, G2 managed to put up an unstoppable run, while also winning the prestigious IEM Katowice 2023 trophy. Their 13-match winning streak for G2 came to an end after they lost to Cloud9 in the ESL Pro League Season 17. With sh1ro playing lights out, G2 stood no chance against the Russian roster.
8. FaZe (2023)
13-match LAN winning streak
Roster: karrigan – ropz – rain – Twistzz – broky
By the strong leadership of Finn “karrigan” Andersen, FaZe managed to set up an outstanding run of matches in 2023. The Danish captain had a strong arsenal of weapons in the three youngsters of broky, Twistzz and ropz, with rain adding his experience and raw aim to the tally.
In 2023, FaZe won prominent events such as IEM Katowice, IEM Cologne, ESL Pro League S15, but most importantly the PGL Antwerp Major.
10. Astralis (2018)
12-match LAN winning streak
