After huge CS2 update, the majority of players face a large number of issues with the CS2 Rank System: new premier mode, unclear profile ranks, placement matches, where and how is it possible to get rank or rating after all? We know you want to indulge yourself in the world of one of the most popular competitive online games ever!
In this article we are going to tell you about the way you can get your first premier rating or rank, the percentage of Gold and Global Elite players in the world, how the whole system works, and also the way you can raise your rating much faster.
A new mode called Premier, it is the epitome of matchmaking from Dota 2 based on Elo, in CS2 it's called CS Rating.
There are a total of 7 tiers, with a color and rating range for each.
You get an average of 200 Rating per match if you win, but there are additional mechanics for every 1000 rating. Before approaching the end of each thousand rating, your victory reward drops to 100-150, and after crossing the thousand, the victory rating rises from 100 to 200. Also when you have *999 rating, you will have a special animation of your tier.
All ranks remained as they were, except for one thing. Now the rank for each map is different, otherwise no changes.
There is a total of 18 Competitive and Wingman Skill Groups in CS2. They are further divided into 4 groups: Silver, Gold, Master, and Elite. There are also 40 Private Ranks, they have no impact on competitive ones, and can be described as experience scale. By achieving Private 40, you receive Service Medal. Each year, game developers present a new Service Medal. Once you receive it, the private rank will be reset to the first one, and by recurrent achieving Private 40 your service medal will improve, or to be more exact – it will change the color.
Here is all the Counter-Strike 2 Skill Groups, from the lowest to highest:
Competitive Skill Groups
Wingman Skill Groups
Danger Zone Skill Groups
Profile Ranks
You have to win 10 matches to get a premier rating. If you win 10 out of 10, you can get 21-22k rating. The author of this article went 8-0, then there were 2 losses, 1 draw and 2 wins, and in total he got 19500 rating. The key to success is not to lose a single game in the first 5 matches, in this case you will get a high rating.
In order to get access to competitive mode, you should get private rank 2. We recommend you a Deathmatch mode to get it. Try to get the maximum number of kills, normally 3-4 matches are enough to achieve it. Then you will get the opportunity to play Competitive and Wingman. During Placement Matches in Competitive, you can win max. 2 matches a day. After the second victory, you will receive temporary blocking for 20 hours, when it’s over you can further proceed to calibration. The situation with Wingman is a bit different, you have the opportunity to pass placement matches even in one day without blocking or any limitations. The highest skill group you can achieve on placement matches - Master Guardian Elite (MGE), and the lowest one Is Silver 1.
It is important to know, that the first 4 placement matches should be taken seriously since they are the most crucial and your future skill group will depend on their result. Honestly speaking, you are going to play your first matches with the weakest players, and if you lose the match, you won’t get the maximum skill group, since the system initially recognized you as someone who is close to the low rating. We conducted some experiments by losing the first match, and then we won 10 out of 10, as a result, we got Distinguished Master Guardian (DMG), which is 2 ranks lower than the maximum one. The only factor, which can influence the calibration result is the sequence and number of victories.
For new players, Global Elite is something unreal, since only 0.75% of all players have this skill group, so it is a good motivation to progress. Here you can find statistics on the percentage of players with different skill groups for 2024:
So, you got your first skill group. Victories make your rank increase while defeats make it lower. You can search for a match with players, who are in the range of 5 ranks from you (higher or lower). Otherwise, you will have to gather a team of 5 people.
The rating icon will disappear in one month since the last match. Once the skill group has disappeared, you should win 1 match. Most likely, you will receive a skill group that will be lower on 1-2 ranks than before. Once you get your rank back, that’s quite easy to get your old one as well. It is enough to win two times in a row.
If you abandon a match, then you receive temporary blocking. There are 4 levels of punishments for abandoning matches - 30 min, 2 hours, 24 hours, and a 1-week ban. A week of gaming without violations can decrease your future ban time.
There are punishments if you are often kicked off the matches or you kick off other people from them. They are working on the same principle as punishments for abandoning matches.
Punishment for kicking and leaving can have a negative impact on your elo. Your rating can get lower for any blocking.
Actually, everything is quite simple. Play your best and try to win as many matches in a row as possible to raise your rating. However, the more matches you play having one skill group, the more likely system will consider you a proper player and it will be harder to rank up. (Systems Elo and Glicko-2 are telling us about this).
Guys, who doing cs2 boosting can confirm this theory. We occasionally receive the orders, which take a lot of time, however, it seemed that boosting 1 rank was quite enough. At the same time, it can take you just a few victories with perfect statistics to raise your Rating.
Forget about your Rating Focus exclusively on your personal gaming skills. In order to regularly win with a low rating, it is enough to have good aim skills. Play aim maps, e.g. aim_botz, and don’t forget about the deathmatch server. The best solution for practicing tactics is retake servers. Learn some new nades, like smokes, flashes, and incendiary grenades. All of this may have a significant impact on the gaming process, can help your team, and let you cheat opponents in a smart manner.
Never play CS2 solo We advise you to avoid playing matchmaking solo. Nowadays, it is quite easy to find teammates, who will have the same desire as you to progress and increase their skill group. Playing solo, you are imposed to a higher risk of meeting toxic people, who won’t provide any info during the game, who will play halfheartedly (with no desire to win, etc). You will have only negative experiences playing with such people. Playing with friends you will have at least some common interest and information about what is going on the map, which significantly increases your odds to win.
You are lucky if your friend is Global Elite Yes, if you keep on getting victories with the high-rating players, you will be ranked up much faster.
Don’t forget to relax after each defeat It is commonly known, that match after defeat most likely won’t give you any positive result. Trying hard to win back, you will get more irritated, unable to control your emotions, and lose focus on your own skill. Instead of losing another game, just take a break and analyze the game you lost. Considering the fact, that you are playing a team game, the reason you lost may not be you personally. In case you did not excel in shooting your enemy or you moved across the map not good enough — all of these can be a good reasons to work on your personal skills. If your ally decided to ruin amidst the game or simply abandon it - most likely you could actually do nothing in that situation, just forget about this game and keep moving forward. Invite your friends to play together with you, it significantly decreases the chance you will get a bad teammate in the next game.
Players quite often face the problem when settings are reset for no reason. We will show you how to fix this problem using Autoexec.
Not everyone knows, but you can find Faceit Profile by Steam id. In this guide we tell how to find it and how it can be useful for CS2 players.
Not all people know that Steam gives an opportunity to create Backup Steam Guard Codes, in case you won’t be able to use common one.
