Astralis have picked up a record-equalling third Major crown after winning IEM Katowice 2019.

The Danish high-fliers beat ENCE in a quick 2-0 series in a packed Spodek Arena to move level with fnatic's record of three Major crowns after previously winning ELEAGUE Major Atlanta, with Markus "⁠Kjaerbye⁠" Kjærbye still on the roster, and the FACEIT Major.

With this victory, Astralis also became only the third team in history to win back-to-back Major titles, following in the footsteps of fnatic's 2015 squad, which won the 2015 ESL One events in Katowice and Cologne, and the Brazilian roster of Luminosity/SK, which came out on top of MLG Columbus and ESL One Cologne 2016 under two different organisations.

Astralis won their third Major title in Katowice

Astralis will be chasing a fourth Major crown at the StarLadder Major, scheduled for August 27 through September 8. After finishing 1-3 in the New Challengers Stage in Katowice, fnatic are out of the Major cycle and will have to qualify again to have a shot at winning another title.
