Counter-Strike Global Offensive had a relatively simple ranking system, but with Counter-Strike 2, things have changed up a bit. Below, I’ll explain how CS2 and CS:GO ranks compare.
CS2 ranks compared to CSGO
In CS:GO, you started off as Silver and had to progress through the ranks to reach Global Elite in competitive mode. In Counter-Strike 2, however,premier modeprovides extra clarity, indicating exactly when you can expect to rank up based on the number of points you have.
The points are associated with a tier color, and as you progress through the ranks, you can expect to be bumped up to the next tier.

CS2 compiles data from all players throughout the game and creates a unified leaderboard that is publicly accessible using the game’s data. This leaderboard is available on various websites, utilizing the API to display a list of players with the highest points. you may use websites such asCSStatsorTrackerto view this leaderboard.
Increasing your rating works similarly to CS:GO, where your performance in each game determines the number of points you will receive. This rating resets if you stop playing for a while or if the game undergoes a major update.
