FURIA became the most popular CS2 team of the first quarter of 2026, while PARIVISION surpassed NAVI

Analytics service Esports Charts has published statistics on hours watched among teams on the professional Counter-Strike 2 scene for the first quarter of 2026. FURIA topped the ranking, while Vitality and PARIVISION also made the list of the most popular teams, with PARIVISION managing to overtake NAVI.

FURIA took first place in hours watched. The Brazilian squad finished ahead of Vitality by around 6 million hours watched, which allowed the team to confidently close the quarter at the top of the ranking. This result once again confirmed the strong audience interest in FURIA’s matches and the power of its fan base.

PARIVISION’s position deserves special attention. The team climbed to third place in hours watched and managed to move ahead of NAVI. The gap between the two teams was around 890,000 hours, which became one of the notable outcomes of the quarter for the CS2 scene. Against the backdrop of competition with more established organizations, this figure can be considered a serious achievement for PARIVISION.

Looking more broadly at esports as a whole, the absolute leaders in viewership were the participants of the M7 Championship in Mobile Legends: Bang Bang. For example, Indonesia’s Alter Ego recorded 55.3 million hours watched in just 11 matches.
