With the release of CS2, the Counter-Strike Esports adventure continues to escalate. Dozens of different tournaments, big and small, are organized every year. There are also regional competitions, such as the ESL Pro League. So what about CS:GO team rankings? Which team do you think is the most successful in the Esports competition that has been going on for years?

This list was created entirely by ESL. The data covers all Counter-Strike tournaments held in the last 10 years. For those who don’t know, ESL is one of the most important communities with its history dating back to CS 1.6. ESL is referred to as “Quality Rating” in each tournament in CS:GO team rankings. There is a separate scoring system for an S-tier tournament and a lower scoring system for a C-tier, i.e., smaller events.

At the end of the day, in addition to this scoring system, “size” that is, the number of teams participating in the events, was also used as a criterion to determine the ranking algorithm. If you would like to better understand the mathematics that goes into ranking, please take a look at ESL’s ranking rules page.

Best Teams in CS2 Valve Rankings

We took a look at the CS:GO team ranking list prepared by ESL according to its own algorithm. Now, we will show you the top 10 regional teams according to Valve’s official data. But before that, let’s take a look at the model Valve uses to create rankings.

• Prize money won;
• Awards won by the opponents defeated by the team and the number of defeated teams;
• Head-to-head results;

Valve sends out invitations to teams for its own tournaments. Valve takes its own rankings and evaluations for these invitations. You can see the regional standings prepared according to this model in the table below.
