In 2024, Natus Vincere (NAVI) emerged as the most-watched Counter-Strike 2 (CS2) team, amassing a total of 64.85 million hours watched. This impressive viewership was recorded by Esports Charts, which also highlighted NAVI’s notable achievements, including victories at IEM Rio 2024, PGL Major Copenhagen 2024, and the Esports World Cup CS2 event. Since its inception in 2009, NAVI has consistently qualified for every Major in both CS:GO and CS2, totaling 21 appearances. They rank fifth among the most-watched esports organizations since Esports Charts began tracking data in 2017. G2 Esports followed closely with 60.11 million hours watched, securing second place. FaZe Clan, Team Spirit, and Team Vitality rounded out the top five with 58.41 million, 48.43 million, and 43.03 million hours watched, respectively. Notably, these figures exclude Chinese viewership due to the lack of public disclosure from streaming sites in China. The CS2 esports calendar for 2025 will see significant changes, with the next major event being BLAST Bounty Spring 2025 in Copenhagen, followed by the BLAST.tv Austin Major in June.
