Valve Reveals New Ranking Formula

18 August 2023 16:09

Valve made changes to the Counter-Strike ranking formula. The new method is criticized by fans. The ranking system heavily relies on the accumulated prize money, granting an advantage to teams that participate in online competitions against local or regional opponents and secure substantial earnings. This approach can sometimes overshadow those teams that prioritize attending premier LAN tournaments but haven't achieved good results. Moreover, the system continues to consider outcomes from show matches with prize money, which was criticized before.
