How are CS2 teams ranked? HLTV vs Valve Regional Standings

These systems measure team performance differently. This page shows Valve's official VRS points, not HLTV points. Older CS:GO team rankings and current CS2 team rankings should also be read in the context of their own release dates.

HLTV

HLTV World Ranking

What it measures: Achievements over the past year, recent form over two months and event performance over three months, with older results losing weight.
Update cadence: Weekly
Roster changes: A three-player core is needed to retain points.
Regions: Global
Used for: An independent reference for team performance.

VRS

Valve Regional Standings

What it measures: Team prize money, defeated opponents' prize money and number of teams beaten, and head-to-head results.
Update cadence: Regular releases on the first Monday of each month.
Roster changes: At least three players must carry over for the roster to retain its points.
Regions: Global, plus Europe, Americas and Asia.
Used for: Official Major invitations.

ESL's World Ranking is a separate tournament ranking system, rather than another name for either table above.

Frequently asked questions

Who is the number one CS2 team right now?

MOUZ leads Valve's world ranking with 1,960 points in the 2 November 2026 release.

How are CS2 teams ranked?

Valve's model uses a team's prize money, the prize money and number of teams beaten by its defeated opponents, and head-to-head results. HLTV publishes a separate ranking based on achievements, recent form and event performance.

What is the difference between the HLTV ranking and Valve Regional Standings?

HLTV's ranking is its own assessment of team performance. Valve Regional Standings are the official rankings used for Major invitations. The systems have different methods and points, so their numbers are not interchangeable.

How often are CS2 team rankings updated?

Valve publishes its regular standings on the first Monday of each month. We check the repository for new releases and update this table when a complete release is available. HLTV publishes its separate world ranking weekly.

Which team has been number one most often?

Since August 2024, G2 Esports and Team Vitality have topped Valve's global standings most often, with 13 number-one releases each. This counts published releases, not weeks at number one.

Which team has won the most Counter-Strike Majors?

Astralis holds the combined CS:GO and CS2 organisation record with 4 Major titles. These titles were all won in CS:GO. Its wins are ELEAGUE Major 2017, FACEIT Major 2018, IEM Katowice 2019, and StarLadder Berlin Major 2019.

How do I see a team's roster and skins?

Linked team names open their team profiles, with roster links to player pages and available skin inventories. Teams outside our current directory are listed without a profile link. Where we have team sticker listings, those appear on the team profile.
