NAVI just surpassed Astralis for winning most money in a year!
2021 has been an insane year for Natus Vincere. See how much they have earned here.
While Astralis is still regarded as the most successful Organization in Counter-Strike history, one of their records was beaten last night.
In the capital of Denmark, Natus Vincere won the BLAST Premier Fall Finals and surpassed the Astralis roster on the money list for a single year in tournament earnings. The record belonged to the 2018 Astralis roster, who completed the Intel Grand Slam and won the FACEIT Major in London that year alongside many other tournaments.
NAVI has also completed the Intel Grand Slam this year and also won a Major, the PGL Major in Stockholm. And though they have won fewer tournaments than Astralis did in 2018, the prize pools of CS:GO tournaments these days have risen. In 2018 NAVI won the BLAST Pro Series in Copenhagen and took home $125,000, while yesterday's victory made them $225,000 richer.
