Esports
Counter-Strike esports directory
A directory of Counter-Strike teams, players and events. Nothing is listed here on this codex's own authority: each entry links to the liquipedia.net/counterstrike page it was matched to, and a name that could not be matched to one is not listed at all — however often it appeared in the material this codex inherited.
Teams & organisations
101 verifiedCounter-Strike organisations that have competed. Region and the Counter-Strike versions a team has fielded a roster in come from the Liquipedia page linked on each entry.
Players
186 verifiedProfessional players, listed under the nickname they compete as. A role label is the position a player is associated with on their Liquipedia page, not a permanent assignment.
Events & tournaments
65 verifiedTournaments and series, with the tier Liquipedia assigns them. Valve-sponsored Majors sit at the top of the calendar; most of the rest of the circuit is run by independent organisers.

How this list is verified
Each entry corresponds to a page on liquipedia.net/counterstrike that carries Category:Players, Category:Teams, or one of the S, A and B tier tournament categories. The labels shown are read from that page's other categories — for example Category:Ukrainian Players becomes Ukrainian, Category:AWPers becomes AWPer, Category:S-Tier Tournaments becomes Tier S. Follow the link on any entry to check it. Deliberately absent are anything that changes with time, such as whether a team is currently active, and any text copied from another wiki.
Before publication every entry is also read by an automated fact audit. Where it disputed a label, that label is not shown — those entries carry their name and their source link and nothing else, marked details on Liquipedia.
