The world of esports is full of various records and achievements. Some have played a record number of maps, some have won the most majors, and so on. In this article, we will talk about ten players in CS:GO and CS2 who have represented one organization for the longest time.
#10. Keith "NAF" Markovic
Opening our list is the legend of North American CS - NAF. He has been representing Team Liquid since 2018 and continues to do so to this day. Keith has been in the active roster of the team for 2275 days. During this period, the club has rebuilt its CS rosters several times, but NAF remains the player who has endured all the changes.
#9. Yuri "yuurih" Boian
Yuurih joined FURIA Esports back in 2017, half a year after the club was founded. Since then, he has not left the active roster of the organization. Yuri has experienced both ups and downs with FURIA. At the time of publication, he has represented the organization for 2364 days.
#8. Fredrik "REZ" Sterner
Since REZ joined Ninjas in Pyjamas at the age of 19, he has never left the active roster of the CS club. Captains and snipers have changed regularly, but Fredrik has always stayed in his place, continuing to do so for 2513 consecutive days.
#7. Oleksandr "s1mple" Kostyljev
S1mple could have broken all possible records for continuous performance in the active roster of one team. Natus Vincere built their game around Oleksandr. However, at the end of 2023, he decided to take a break in his career. S1mple's streak of performances for NAVI stopped at 2639 days.
#6. Johannes "tabseN" Wodarz
TabseN and BIG are inseparable, and it's hard to imagine their paths diverging. After retiring from playing, Johannes is likely to remain with the club as a coach or take on a management role. He has represented BIG for 2674 days, and this number will only continue to grow.
#5. Patrik "f0rest" Lindberg
F0rest spent almost eight years in NiP. During this period, he won several tournaments with the team, but the CS:GO Major eluded him. Patrik spent 2720 days in the club, securing fifth place in our ranking.
#4. Freddy "KRiMZ" Johansson
KRiMZ is literally the heart of Fnatic. Alongside the organization, he has experienced many highs and lows. Freddy has been in the team's active roster for 2744 days. In the darkest days for Fnatic, KRiMZ can give fans hope for the club's bright future by winning very important rounds.
#3. Catalin-Ionut "BTN" Stanescu
Throughout his professional career, BTN has represented only one organization - Nexus Gaming, where he is an integral leader. He has been with the team for 2849 days.
#2. Jonathan "EliGE" Jablonowski
EliGE spent the first half of his career in Team Liquid. With the organization, he won everything possible, except for Majors. Jonathan spent 3013 days with Liquid and is now writing a new chapter in his history with Complexity Gaming.
#1. Håvard "rain" Nygaard
Yes, it is rain who has become the record holder for the longest tenure in the active roster of the same team in the professional CS scene. He has spent 3022 days in FaZe Clan. His move from G2 Esports to FaZe Clan in 2016 can be called the best decision of his life. During this period, he won 20 major tournaments, including a Major and Intel Grand Slam. Incredible!
All the records mentioned above, though challenging, are possible to beat. With the transition of the discipline to CS2, a new generation of esports athletes will set their own records. We are fortunate to witness it all.
