On Nov. 1, 2025, Aurora Gaming finally claimed its very first Counter-Strike 2 LAN trophy at PGL Masters Bucharest 2025, stopping Legacy’s comeback from happening and shutting their dreams of lifting the trophy.
Both of the teams that met in the grand final were barely able to qualify for the playoffs, having 3-2 scores in the group stage. This meant that they had to run the gauntlet, playing all the possible matches that they had to in order to be able to compete in the grand final.
When Aurora and Legacy met in the grand final, Aurora took a quick 2-map lead, putting Legacy on its back foot. However, Legacy was able to bounce back, pushing the third map, Train, to overtime and taking the fourth map, Inferno, convincingly.
The final map, Nuke, was as close as it could’ve been with the teams trading rounds in the first half. The streak was only broken by Legacy when they tied together a five-win thread, but was eventually shut down by Aurora, taking the map, the tournament and the title.
Counter-Strike 2’s next biggest tournament is currently happening. Intel Extreme Masters Chengdu 2025 started on Nov. 3, 2025, with the tournament being attended by the best Counter-Strike 2 teams in the world, including FaZe Clan, Team Falcons and Team Vitality.
