Top 5 CS:GO teams in the world in 2017

In recent times we have seen many changes in the CS:GO game that are not like its usual nature. If, as before, the scene will be a single team standing at the top in all respects, dominating every tournament, then the other teams will try to prove their worth by trying to be the best. should stand out, winning several victories against the “King of CS:GO”.

In terms of Global Offensive’s professional top teams, we’ve seen Ninjas in Pajamas, Fnatic and Luminosity Gaming/SK Gaming do just that. The three teams have always secured the top spot continuously in the tournaments, most of them are “unmatched”. The first team on the other list even set an unbeaten record of 87-0, a historical proof of the disparity between the top teams at the time.

However, times have changed, now is the time when any squad in the world has the ability to challenge other “legendary” teams to victory. This creates a whole new CS scene, now in the professional arena, you will always be surprised and unable to predict which team will lift the winning trophy at the end of the tournament.

If we look at the most recent top leagues, each has a different champion: FaZe Clan at ELEAGUE Premier; SK Gaming at EPICENTER 2017; Ninjas In Pajamas at IEM Oakland XII. In each of these tournaments, there are teams in the top 10 rankings, showing the fierce competition between the current teams.

In this article, we take a look at the top 5 contenders and their chances of finishing 2017 on the world rankings.

Team North from Denmark has shown spectacular growth in the past few years. They have been placed in the world rankings with respectable positions in the top leagues. Under the guidance of Coach Casper “ruggah“And IGL Mathias”MSLLauridsen and the strength of the remaining four members of the squad, these Danes have become a formidable opponent on the international stage.

However, recently, this squad has not been able to maintain the form we have seen in the past. but when it comes to strong and perfect teams, we can’t help but mention North. Consistency and potential could put them at the top of the list but it will be hard in 2017.

The current G2 Esports lineup includes the most promising talent from France, all wrapped up in a single team. Often described as overly aggressive and loose, G2 is a beast whose goal is to target teams that exhibit insecurity and lack of confidence in the game. However, this team from France relies entirely on having a strong start to propel them to victory. But unfortunately that will be very difficult to do against strong CS:GO teams. And just like that, they created a weakness in the team that could paralyze themselves.

Currently G2 is ranked 5th in the world according to HLTV, and they may not make it to first place because of their poor performance in tournaments.

Astralis is one of the most accomplished teams in CS:GO, referred to as a roster of highly talented individuals whose solid strategies are the cornerstone of their victories. Throughout 2017, Astralis won the Major title and came in first at IEM Katowice, and there were many times when they finished 2nd and finished in the top 4. That shows the steady form of this squad despite the fact have to face other formidable opponents. However, towards the end of this year, Astralis did not perform as well as before, in part due to the position of AWPer main Nicolai “device” Reedtz having to temporarily stop playing due to health problems. Also because of the above incident, it is possible that this squad will not participate in the EPL S6 competition in Odense, Denmark.

As one of the best tactical teams right now, Astralis has had some unfortunate problems at the end of the year and everyone is hoping to be resolved in 2018. That’s when Astralis will return to play. with a stronger squad. 2017 marked their first Major title, along with multiple top finishes, so if the team’s fans consider them No. However, in reality, this squad is still not very perfect and needs to work hard to stay in shape.

A mix of top European talent all gathered at FaZe Clan. For now, it’s possible that this roster will be placed in 2nd place because FaZe has yet to win a Major even though there have been times when they’ve come close to it. Many fans were disappointed when they lost to NiP in the final round at IEM Oakland.

In fact, this European mix lineup is the only team that can usurp SK’s current world No. 1 spot before 2018, as FaZe will attend the ECS Season 4 finals, as well as the EPL Season 6 Finals, where both themselves and the Brazilian team will show their level. If FaZe can upgrade their tactics, skills and performance like before EPICENTER 2017, there is very little chance that SK will keep their crown.

Finally, we will come to the team that is holding the “king” of the world, SK Gaming. After winning both EPICENTER and BLAST Pro Series, SK is now facing the challenge of maintaining its “Best of Best” position and can only guarantee this in the ESL Pro League 6 season in Odense. , Denmark. Unfortunately for the team, they were stripped of their chance to participate in the tournament at the ECS Season 4 LAN finals. This has greatly reduced their chances, especially on the premise that FaZe Clan is right behind them with the goal of being number 1. If the European squad performs strongly in both events. In the event, they are completely capable of defeating SK.

Theoretically, SK Gaming can be beaten in the rankings, but in reality we are talking about a comprehensive squad in every way, they have talented individuals with solid spirit and style. play very personality in the professional scene of Counter-Strike. There will be a lot of expectations placed on this roster as they head into EPL Season 6, so it’s very likely that SK Gaming will welcome the 2018 season with their crown.
