Who will win IEM Katowice 2019?

1. Astralis

The final eight are ready for the Champions stage of the StarLadder Berlin Major at the Mercedes-Benz Arena! After a hotly contested Legends stage, ENCE and NRG finished 3-0, Vitality, Astralis, and AVANGAR finished at 3-1 while Na’Vi, Liquid, and Renegades made the cut with a 3-2 record. Watch live coverage beginning Thursday on Steam.tv, on the official Twitch stream, and in-game on GOTV to see which team will become the next CS:GO Major. R/GlobalOffensive is a home for the Counter-Strike: Global Offensive community and a hub for the discussion and sharing of content relevant to CS:GO. Counter-Strike: Global Offensive is a game created by Valve Corporation and released on August 21st, 2012 as a successor to previous games in the series dating back to 1999.

• StarLadder Berlin Major Champions. 2019.09.09 - Congratulations to Astralis, who won a record-breaking third straight Major Championship and their fourth overall. AVANGAR’s path to the Grand Final met the brick wall of Astralis, who took hold of the series from the first few rounds and never let go.
• In total, CS:GO has had fifteen Majors, with StarLadder Major Berlin 2019 being the last one in the list. The Danish team Astralis has earned the biggest amount of titles, as it managed to win four Valve-sponsored events in Global Offensive.
• SK Gaming won the last major and looked to reclaim the title as the best team in the world and have made top 8 at every major since ESL One: Katowice 2015 when it was the obscure Keyd Stars. FlipSid3 has not been so lucky but finally made it out of the group stage.

From their achievements the past year alone, a case could be made that Astralis are the best CS:GO team of all time. They’ve won an incredible amount of big events and remained the #1 HLTV team for over 9 months.

However, there’s plenty of new blood and new team rosters at the major. Plus, the recent smoke bug being disabled could make a change in how the team plays. Astralis is always a threat to win, but they could get knocked off their perch here.

2. Team Liquid

Team Liquid look like a legitimate threat to take the throne from Astralis in 2019. Throughout last year, they constantly racked up 2nd places. Since adding Stewie2k, they won IBP Masters 2019 against Astralis- the first Premier Event of the year.

With renewed focus and a new, potentially stronger team, Liquid can make serious waves at this Major and possibly bring home their first Major victory.

3. NRG

NRG has quietly become a mainstay in the HLTV Top 10, currently at #5. What’s more, the team made it comfortably into the Challengers Stage 3-0.

The team will get a huge step up in opposition in the Legends Stage, which may falter their progress. However, they’re a consistently strong team and Majors are always ripe for upsets. If they play their cards right, NRG could reach the top.

LEGENDS 👏 STAGE 👏 BOUND!

Led by @brehze's INSANE 72 kills over two maps, #NRGCSGO drops @tyloogaming 2-0 in the series!

4. MIBR

Made In Brazil had a disastrous 2018 as their experiments to bring in American star players only made them worse. However, with the reintroduction of TACO and Felps, MIBR could return to their former glory.

In the past, they were a roster known for incredible team play, with TACO known as a solid bombsite anchor. With FalleN’s knowledge and leadership and good strategy, this could be their win.

5. ENCE

The Finnish roster consistently makes it look EZ4ENCE. With their mix of experience and rising talent, ENCE have proven to be a top team with the talent to compete with the best.

They had a fairly easy 3-1 run through the Challengers Stage (albeit dropping a Bo3 to Renegades) and the Legends Stage will be tough for them. However, this is a team that could rise up as a dark horse.
