In the competitive world of Counter-Strike: Global Offensive (CS:GO), Oleksandr "s1mple" Kostyliev holds the record for winning the most Major championships. He has secured 1 Major title throughout his professional CS:GO career.

However, it's important to note that several players are tied for the most Major victories in CS:GO history. The following players have each won 4 Major championships:

- Peter "dupreeh" Rasmussen
- Andreas "Xyp9x" Højsleth
- Lukas "gla1ve" Rossander
- Emil "Magisk" Reif
- Nicolai "dev1ce" Reedtz

These players achieved their remarkable feat as part of the legendary Astralis roster, which dominated CS:GO from 2018 to 2020. They won their Majors at:

- FACEIT London Major 2018
- IEM Katowice Major 2019
- StarLadder Berlin Major 2019
- ESL One: Rio Major 2020

The Danish powerhouse Astralis remains the organization with the most Major victories, having secured 4 titles in total. This achievement showcases the team's unprecedented dominance during their era.

For context, CS:GO Majors are the most prestigious tournaments in competitive Counter-Strike, sponsored by Valve Corporation. These tournaments typically feature $1,000,000 prize pools and are considered the pinnacle of achievement in professional CS:GO.

It's worth mentioning that prior to CS:GO, in Counter-Strike 1.6, Swedish player Patrik "f0rest" Lindberg held the record with 1 Major victory. However, these achievements are typically counted separately from CS:GO Majors due to the different game versions.

Currently, Major tournaments continue to be held twice per year, giving players the opportunity to either match or surpass these records. The most recent Major champions were Team Vitality, who won the BLAST.tv Paris Major 2023.
