Following their recent wins at both IEM Chicago 2019 and Blast Pro Series LA 2019, many fans are hailing Team Liquid as the 'best CSGO team of all time', a title previously given to names like Astralis, SK/Luminosity, Fnatic, NIP, Virtus.Pro and Envyus / LDLC.

It stands to reason why so many fans are calling this the 'Liquid Era', but is that enough to have them claim the number one spot in CSGO History? Many believe that without the claim to a Major victory that title is still in the hands of the aforementioned teams and undoubtedly, even after the victory, many fans will still be reluctant to pass the torch from their favorite team(s). While it stands, Liquid is currently the most dominant Counter Strike team boasting a very respectable resume with one of the most consistent top-tier tournament streaks in Counter Strike history.
