Aurora Gaming

Europe Founded 2022
#10 in the world Valve Regional Standings, the ranking Valve uses for Major invites, as published 3 August 2026

Aurora Gaming came into Counter-Strike near the end of CS:GO and spent its first years as a team nobody wanted to draw and nobody expected to beat anyone. That changed in 2025 with a Turkish core: XANTARES, woxic and Wicadia, with MAJ3R calling.

Winning PGL Masters Bucharest in November 2025 put the club second in the world, its highest position. A month later XANTARES became the first player over thirty to make HLTV's top twenty.

The all-Turkish era ended in July 2026. MAJ3R was replaced by kyxsan, who had just lost the caller's seat at Falcons to karrigan, and Jimpphat came in from MOUZ. ashhh coaches.

Every value is checked by hand, and the date of that check is on the right. Players move between teams without much warning, so a roster here reflects the last time it was confirmed rather than this morning's news.
