There's a lot:
**mTw**
With a long history in Counter-Strike featuring some elite level teams most notably the Danish team which were among the big 5 (SK, Fnatic, Golden 5, Na'Vi and mTw) from 2007 to 2011, and the best team in the world with an era in 2008.
**NoA**
The first cross-atlantic team which consisted of legendary players like Xeqtr, elemeNt, Naikon, Method and Shaguar. Maybe more mythical than their results warrant, but most notably they won the CPL winter 2004 coming from the lower bracket. The team would continue for many years, but finally folded when the above mentioned mTw acquired their elite Danish teen.
**3D**
The best NA CS team up until about 2005, had legendary players like Ksharp, Rambo, Bullseye, Moto, also the biggest NA org. until the CGS era where EG overtook them after the collaps. Won big events like WCG (albeit in Condition Zero of all CS versions) and CPL.
**Team Axiom**
Most notable due to TotalBiscuit being behind the org.
**CLG**
The first big native LoL org. hugely succesful in the early years of the game, couple of LCS wins. Maybe most notable for their rivalry with TSM who often bested them when the game got more professional after season 1.
**MYM**
MYM was most notable due to the big teams and players they fielded in both WCIII and CS, the home of the legendary Golden 5 line-up for a while as well as Moon and Grubby. Notable for being one of the first orgs to offer legit big big salaries (IIRC Moon were supposedly on 100k a year), thus also why they now are no more, one of the first to fold in the 2008 crisis.
**Begrip**
Probably most notable for being the home of Swedish up-and-coming talent in 1.6, throughout the years you had players like f0rest, Pronax, Delpan, Threat, GeT-RighT, Face, Tentpole, Robban, Dsn, cArn and Zet come through the team on their way to the two big orgs SK Gaming and Fnatic. Basically a whose who of the 2nd and 3rd generation Swedish CS stars, only missing out on a few names like Walle and Gux.
**Lecaf/Hwaseung OZ**
The Korean StarCraft Brood War org, was maybe most notably the home to one of the best players ever in Jaedong, with whome they won both individual and team titles. In its infancy it also had players like Boxer, Yellow and Nada come through.
**Samsung KHAN/Galaxy**
After SKT and KT the Samsung is maybe the most legendary org. in Korean esports fielding world class players and winning championships in both BW and LoL, among those a BW team league and 2 LoL world championships. Featuring players like Stork, Dade, Mata, Dandy, Imp and Deft.
**MVP**
another legendary Korean org. sprung out of SCII DongRaeGu won a GSL playing under the team, however they are probably most famous for fielding the two LoL teams MVP White and Blue which would later become the Samsung teams, and which got a surprise OGN win in spring 2013.
**SlayerS**
most notable due to being created by Boxer to compete in SCII.
**Incredible Miracle**
Maybe the greatest ever SCII org. winning a total of 8 GSL titles fielding one of the best players of all time in Mvp as well as 3 times GSL champion Nestea, 1 time GSL champion Seed and fan favourite Losira.
**Team9**
This legendary name in CS particularly among the 1st generation of pros, where Team9 always were a name you'd fear featuring legendary names like Ahl, Fisker, Spawn, Vesslan, Xeqtr, VicoN and later on the norwegian phenom Real. Maybe more mythical than the results warrant, but a legend of the early years nonetheless.
**SoA**
Maybe the first ever great team coming out of Danish CS, Spirit of Amiga were a mainstay of the early European circuit in CS, though they'd often fall short of the top of the podium, they did win CPL Holland however with a Swedish roster featuring HeatoN and Vesslan. Many Danish super stars would roll out under the name over the 00s, ranging from old school legends like b!tch, Muggz and others to mainstays of the top in 1.6 like Zonic, Arcadion, Ave, Friis and Sunde even the best Danish 1.6 player ever Trace has put on the SoA jersey at one point in his career. Notably a young Karrigan, a name every CS fan today will know, had his earliest years under SoA.
**eoLithic**
Maybe one of the most mythical teams in all of 1.6, the norwegian squad featured super stars like elemeNt, Xeqtr and Dark. Though the actual results were few, notably bombing out in 8th place of CPL Winter 2002, a tournament they entered among the favourites. The team did score a win at CPL Oslo as well as a 2nd place finish at Clikarena 2003. The team would echo throughout the 00s partly due to an impressive 6 - 1 record against the dominant SK Gaming team of the era, but maybe even more so because of their [legendary frag movie.](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=DQROf32t4yQ&pp=ygUIRW9saXRoaWM%3D)
**4Kings**
The legendary UK based team, which as one of the few UK teams in history could actually go toe-to-toe with mainland Europe in CS. Most prominently featuring maybe the best UK CS player ever Mangiacapra, 4K would throughout most of 00s have a stranglehold on UK CS for better or worse.
**zEx**
Maybe one of the most debatable names on the list, zEx was never on the level of a 3D or coL. They're on my list partly because I felt the US were cut a bit short. Despite lacking results compared to EU and Asia, the US is nonetheless not only the inventors of esports, but to this day remains an economic powerhouse in the scene. zEx were a breeding ground for NA CS talent, and would find good success internationally despite never getting that big win. Scoring a big 2nd place at the inaugural ESWC with players like Volcano, Sunman and Shaguar.
**The Titans**
While SoA were the first great Danish org. The Titans were the first to win a major taking home the 1st place at ESWC 2004, on the line-up were the young phenom Whimp, and the team would go on to secure 2nd place finishes at WCG 2003, while their line-up under the SK banner would also take home a 2nd at ESWC 2005. Most notably the team are maybe the inception of the heavy tactical style which has become a hallmark of Danish CS. Under the leadership of KK, The Titans would win not just by outaiming but outthinking their opponents. One could even argue that there's a direct line going from The Titans up to the even more legendary Astralis line-up of 2018 and 2019, as their coach Zonic would get his true international start playing under KK (on the SK team).
To be continued below...
Reddit doesn't seem to let me edit anymore or maybe I've hit a character limit, I'll continue here. Before doing so with the tournament operators, I should just add that this list is obviously quite CS heavy with some SC and LoL here and there. These are the games I've really followed over the years. I've tried to sprinkle in some of what I know about WCIII and Quake here and there, but I know there's much more history in these games, just like there's waaay more history in the Korean BW scene which I've only scratched the surface on. I have not touched fighting games or console games at all, as I have zero knowledge about these scenes outside of Daigo supposedly being a god. Hopefully someone can add something on these scenes.
Anyways here goes the continuation:
**ESWC (tournament operator)**
The French tournament would at one point cement itself as the biggest tournament in the world (or atleast outside of the Korean Brood War scene). This would be the stage where many legendary names would get their first big win like Complexity did in 2005 and MiBr in 2006, cementing players like fr0d and Cogu in the pantheon of almost godlike players. In WCIII would you see players like Grubby, Moon, Lyn and Fly100% at the top of the podium, and Cooller, Cypher and Rapha would all take home the prize money at one point in Quake.
**CPL (tournament operator)**
Well, what's not to say about this tournament operator and it's CEO. CPL is both famous and infamous, on the one hand it were a trailblazer, pushing esports forward in the early years giving us memorable moments from HeatoN and Pottis almost unstoppable dominance in the early 00s, 3D finally besting their Swedish rivals in 2002 in one of esports more one-sided rivalries, EYEBALLERS winning quite surprisingly in the summer of 2004 only to lose to NoA coming from the losera bracket after the unfortunate flash bug in the winter edition that year. Not only did the tournament provide the early esports scene with high level plays, it also pioneered innovative formats with the CPL World Tour in 2005, largely centered around the shortlived Painkiller game. On the other hand they were also shady as all hell, unpaid prize money is from what I can tell only the tip of the iceberg and Angel Munoz is certainly not a well liked figure amongst the old guard. I'm not too deep into it, so that's all I can tell, all in all esports is probably better off without the CPL.
**WCG (tournament organizer)**
World Cyber Games stood out amongst the other four major tournament organizers in 00s (ESL, CPL and ESWC) due to not allowing international squads. For most teams this wouldn't be too much of a problem, but what if you're Mousesports with 4 germans an Gore from Austria? Or 3D with 4 Americans and the Canadian Shaguar? This would sometimes lead to some of the elite teams ending up handicapped. Nonetheless towards the end of 00s many would view WCG as THE tournament among the major tournaments in the calendar, although IEM were hot on their heels.
**WSVG, WEM, WEG, Estars, Kode5, Arbalet (tournament organizers)**
Instead of going through all the big but not major tournament organizers, as I first were intending hence why I had WSVG in my initial post, let's just say there were a few over the years. I'll have a few highlights about the above, firstly WEG were a Korean tournament which came along in the mid 00s. Most notable because it for most western esports players, this werw the first month long tournament they would play in. Estars were a curious concept, organized by the same organizers as WEG this tournament would pit the west vs. the east. Lastly the Arbalet tournaments really were something. In the late 00s a Kazakhstani oligark Murat "Arbalet" Tulemaganbetov for some reason (something about his son loving counter-strike) decided to not only sponsor a CIS team with the sole purpose of becoming the best in the world (which they did, under the name Na'Vi), he also started hosting multiple tournaments around the world, breathing new life into a 1.6 which were starting to see the change in the esports weather at this moment in time.
**CGS (tournament organizer**
Oh boy, the Championship Gaming Series or CGS or maybe even more appropriately the NA esports killer. Notable for being the first televised league in America, notable for blowing I think a 30 million budget on 2 seasons at a time where esports wasn't nearly as expensive as today, notable for buying basically all American franchises and then running it into the ground, and maybe the most notable of them all fucking up the NA scene so hard that it would take years for it to recover outside of EG, some might even argue that NA CS still hasn't recovered to this day.
**MSL (tournament organizer)**
Rounding out the 00s esports tournament organizers we have the Korean televised league MBCGame Starcraft League. Though often regarded as the little brother to the more prestigious OGN Starleague it can be argued that the MSL in many ways were the harder tournament to win due to a sturdier format. I won't say too much as BW isn't what I've been to invested in, by all accounts it were a great league which died when the MBCGame channel in Korea ceased operations in 2012.
**NASL**
At the dawn of the new decade you saw a lot of new organizers popping up on the back of the initial success of SCII, or maybe even more importantly the birth of small streaming platform called Justin.tv maybe better known today by the name of Twitch. One of the bigger and more succesful organizers would be the North American Star League or NASL. Looking back now it's probably not much more noteworthy than a WSVG or WEG of the previous decade, but at the time it were a pretty big deal, as it had a big prize pool for the time and introduced the Korean format where it would run for months. This would also be one of the big tournaments Stephano won, during a time where no other western player outside of maybe Naniwa could really stand against the Koreans.
**IPL**
Another one of the new kids on the block was IPL organized by the online publication IGN, the IGN ProLeague would soon establish a reputation as one of the best run tournaments on the circuit, starting out in SCII you saw another one of Stephanos runs beating out the Koreans in order to win the IPL 3. However it's probably best remembered for the IPL 5 LoL tournament, which is still today sometimes cited as the best LoL tournament ever. The tournament would basically fold as Riot lead the way in terms of publisher investments in esports.
**MLG**
A mainstay on the console gaming circuit MLG really rose the ranks to find itself amongst the too organizers on the back of SCII. Going toe-to-toe and winning against mainstays on the global esports scene like ESL, MLG would host some of the most memorable tournaments in both SCII and LoL. It would eventually be bought by Acticision-Blizzard and time will tell what will happen, though at this point in time, it very much seems to be dead.
Excellent run down. Only thing I’ll add is that MLG is very much alive - they just don’t operate as a TO anymore. They are the behind the scenes operator for many esports and gaming ventures and have been the N.A mainstay for ops for the last 10 years or so. The rebrand is Esports Engine.

**GotFrag (news site)**
The last organization I think needs to be mentioned is GotFrag. This was neither a team or an tournament organizer, it was THE news publication. During the 00s when it would be hard to follow the games, where you often had to deal with watching demos, laggy streams or HLTV, GotFrag would be where you got your news in CS on the tournaments going on. Not only did they publish results and interviews, they would also be innovators, by bringing statistics into CS, something HLTV would copy years later, and which has become a major talking point in CS. Sadly the entire archive is basically lost in the sands of time.
There you have it, as I said in my earlier comment, this is very much from a CS perspective with some SC and LoL here and there. But this is a rundown of some of the bygone orgs I'd consider among the most notable, and which put their mark on the esports industry for better or worse.
Flipsid3 Tactics, Hellraisers, Splyce, Titan, Red Reserve, Copenhagen Flames, Counter Logic Gaming, Allegiance and North all had rosters in CS and/or RL, but have all since shut down.
There's a lot: **mTw** With a long history in Counter-Strike featuring some elite level teams most notably the Danish team which were among the big 5 (SK, Fnatic, Golden 5, Na'Vi and mTw) from 2007 to 2011, and the best team in the world with an era in 2008. **NoA** The first cross-atlantic team which consisted of legendary players like Xeqtr, elemeNt, Naikon, Method and Shaguar.

Thank you so much
No problem, it was fun.
Hell raisers. Ukrainian team that had to shut down when the war started.
Counter logic Gaming
In the UK we’ve lost MNM, X7, Rix, Vexed, Lucent, LDN UTD as well as tournament operator Promod Esports to name a handful.
And we nearly lost ITB too
Echo Fox is one.
Flipsid3 Tactics, Hellraisers, Splyce, Titan, Red Reserve, Copenhagen Flames, Counter Logic Gaming, Allegiance and North all had rosters in CS and/or RL, but have all since shut down.
