The Swedes were the best CS: GO team in the world in the initial rankings in October 2015 but lost their spot to TSM three weeks later. They again returned to the top by the end of 2015 through April 2016, until NAVI took over.
On the other hand, Astralis and Navi are enduring a tough phase at the moment. Astralis slipped to 3rd in the HLTV rankings, their lowest since September 2019. After peaking at Katowice, Navi didn’t perform well in the Pro League tournament hence surrendering the CS: GO crown to Fnatic.
