In a thrilling development for the esports community, Brazilian powerhouse FURIA has ascended to the pinnacle of the global Valve Regional Standings (VRS) for November 2025, previously holding the second position. This achievement underscores FURIA’s remarkable performance trajectory in recent competitions. Although the November standings don’t dictate participation in upcoming Counter-Strike 2 events, they still offer a glimpse into the current form and strength of the teams.
FURIA’s Stellar Rise
The road to the top for FURIA has been paved with impressive victories. In September, they clinched the title at FISSURE Playground 2 by defeating The MongolZ. Their success continued in October when they overcame NAVI in a stunning reverse sweep to capture the Thunderpick World Championship 2025. FURIA’s rise to the top of the November VRS is a result of a strong run of form across several Tier 1 events. Meanwhile, The MongolZ have seen their position slip to fourth after failing to qualify for the ESL Pro League Season 22 Playoffs.
Significant Movements and Insights
The November VRS also highlights other notable shifts. Legacy has leaped into the top ten, surging 19 places thanks to their triumph at the CS Asia Championship 2025. Additionally, SAW’s performance has propelled them to break into the top 15, while TYLOO has experienced a fall from grace, now out of the top 20 after previously securing a spot in the top ten during September. Although these standings don’t influence tournament invitations, they provide fans with a preview of teams to watch as the StarLadder Budapest Major approaches.
