If you’re trying to wrap your head around who’s showing up at the StarLadder Budapest Major 2025, good luck doing it in one sitting. The lineup is huge, stacked, chaotic in the best way, and honestly feels like someone shook a globe and let every country spill out a superstar or two. You’ve got legends, washed legends trying not to be washed, kids who still look like they’re doing homework between scrims, entire national lineups, and that one team that always feels like they’re half a miracle away from shocking everyone.
Let’s walk through it – not as a dry spreadsheet, but as someone who’s sitting next to you, pointing at rosters and going, “Dude… look at this team.”

Why this lineup makes the Budapest Major ridiculous in the best way
You’ve got:
– three generations of CS legends
– the best rifler in the world (donk)
– the best AWPer in the world (ZywOo, fight me)
– two Mongolian teams ready to derail Europe
– Brazil sending half the continent
– Tier 1 giants reformed for the 100th time
– weird international mixes that shouldn’t work, but somehow might
It’s messy. It’s beautiful. It’s exactly the kind of roster spread that makes a Major unforgettable.
