The female CS2 scene continues to grow year on year. With events like the ESL Impact League, women’s CS has more support than ever, ensuring that both the quality of play and the size of the audience increases.
We wanted to take a look at the best female CS2 players in 2025, so you know who the current stars of the scene are. These are the ladies at the top of the game, flying the flag for female Counter-Strike fans around the world.
Imperial Valkyries‘ in-game leader tory is a great example of a player who leads from the front. Despite calling the shots for a consistent trophy-winning team, tory continues to put up big fragging numbers for her team. Even when things aren’t going her way, she keeps her cool to keep her team ticking.
She was greatly missed by the team at IEM Katowice 2025, where coach bubble played in her absence. 2025 will be a real test of her resolve, with Imperial Valkyries looking to continue their ESL Impact winning streak. Building a winning team is hard enough, but keeping this same team on top is a challenge in itself.

Polish AWPer-turned-in-game-leader vicu was one of the only reasons the female CS2 scene stayed remotely competitive over the last few years. Previously of NAVI Javelins, vicu is now orgless with the Eco Warriors. We’re yet to see her new team at an ESL Impact event, but when they do qualify, expect an org to take a chance on them.
Her individual form took a hit last year after her transition to in-game leader. Now, solely AWPing once more, vicu can focus on getting her individual form back once more.

It should come as no surprise to see yet another Imperial Valkyries player here. This time, it’s twenty3. Her legacy in the female CS scene is secure, having helped her team to several ESL Impact titles at the age of 23. With more longevity, twenty3 could go down as one of the GOATs of female CS.
What is perhaps most impressive about twenty3 is that when Imperial Valkyries faced the male teams, she mechanically held her own. The game-sense wasn’t all there yet, but for a Tier 1 debut and a big step up in competition, it was an excellent effort. It’ll be exciting to see where her career goes from here.

Veteran zAAz is a real legend of the game. At 33 years old, Imperial Valkyries‘ zAAz has been playing professionally since Counter-Strike 1.6. She’s seen it all, and it’s a testament to her love for the game that she continues on top as part of the best female CS2 team in 2025. For context, she was playing matches against the likes of tabseN and kennyS back in 2014.
Mechanically, zAAz still has it. She frequently drops over 20 kills in matches on the server, helping to keep Imperial Valkyries on their throne. She may be 33, but zAAz is here to stay.

For several years, ANa has been regarded as the best female CS2 player in the world, and 2025 is no different. With Imperial Valkyries, ANa continues to absolutely farm the female scene, proving she’s a level above right now.
The only mark against ANa is when she faced the male Tier 1 teams at the start of 2025, she really struggled, even compared to her teammates. Even still, there’s no denying her usual form for Imperial Valkyries when up against her ESL Impact opponents.
