How Our CS2 Rankings Are Calculated
Our ranking is built from three components, all derived from observable match data over the last 90 days. We don't use organizational tier, social media following or commercial value — only what teams actually do on the server.
Component 1: Win rate against tracked opposition (50% weight)
Total maps won divided by maps played in S-tier and A-tier tournaments only. We exclude online qualifiers and showmatches because those don't predict performance against tier-1 opposition. A team going 80-20 against weak online opponents will rank lower than one going 25-15 against actual top-30 sides.
Component 2: Average roster rating (30% weight)
The mean of every active player's career rating, averaged across the lineup. This rewards teams that field consistently strong individuals and penalizes lineups that rely on one star plus four mediocre players. Roster ratings update as players' individual sample sizes grow, so newer rosters stabilize over their first 4–6 weeks of play.
Component 3: Match volume (20% weight)
Teams need a minimum of 3 finished matches in the last 90 days to appear. Beyond that floor, more matches against quality opposition slightly boosts ranking — a team that played 40 tier-1 matches has a more reliable ranking signal than one with 8. We cap the boost at the 30-match mark to prevent volume-padding through low-quality scrims.
What we don't include
Tournament wins, prize money, age of the organization, regional dominance — none of these change the ranking. They might be why you remember a team, but they don't predict whether the team wins their next match. The whole point of a ranking is forward-looking signal, not retrospective reputation.
Comparison to HLTV rankings
HLTV's official ranking weights more historical context (LAN performance, big-event finals) and runs on a longer timeframe. Our ranking is shorter-window and more form-driven. Both are useful for different purposes — HLTV for long-term team evaluation, our ranking for "who's playing best right now" decisions like player props and short-term match picks.
CS2 Rankings FAQ
How often are CS2 rankings updated?
The rankings refresh every 30 minutes during active match days. Each finished match feeds new win/loss data into the system, individual player ratings recompute, and the next page render reflects the new positions. Major events (Majors, IEM finals) trigger faster recomputation as those matches carry heavier weight in the ranking signal.
Why isn't my favorite team ranked?
To appear in the rankings, a team needs to have played at least 3 finished matches in the last 90 days in tracked competitions. Teams that are between rosters, on hiatus, or only competing in untracked online events won't show up. Once they play their next matches in S-tier or A-tier opposition, they'll re-enter the ranking.
Are these CS2 rankings the same as HLTV's rankings?
No. HLTV maintains its own official global ranking with proprietary weighting that emphasizes LAN performance, recent major-event finals and longer historical context. Our ranking uses a shorter 90-day window and weights win rate, roster rating and match volume only. Both are useful — HLTV for long-term team evaluation, ours for "who's in form right now" decisions like player props and short-term betting picks.
Why does win rate matter more than tournament wins?
Tournament wins are concentrated outcomes that depend heavily on bracket luck — a team can win a $1M event by beating one in-form opponent in a single best-of-five and lose four group matches before that. Win rate across 90 days against quality opposition is a much more reliable predictor of how a team will perform in any given upcoming match, which is what most users want a ranking for.
What's a good roster rating?
1.10+ is elite tier — the top-3 teams in our rankings typically average between 1.12 and 1.20 across their lineup. 0.95–1.10 is solid mid-tier territory, where teams are competitive against most opponents but rarely favorites against the best. Below 0.90 means the lineup is collectively underperforming — usually a team in transition, with new pieces, or in a slump that hasn't broken yet.
Do the rankings predict who wins specific matches?
Imperfectly, but better than not using them. Higher-ranked teams win more often against lower-ranked teams, and the gap in ranking points correlates roughly with win probability — a #5 team beats a #25 team about 70% of the time, while a #5 vs #6 matchup is closer to a coinflip. For specific match picks we recommend cross-referencing rankings with our individual match predictions and PrizePicks projections rather than relying on the ranking alone.
