CS2 vs CSGO Ranks

Climb to the top.

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 mode provides 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.

CS:GO RankPointsColor
Silver 1–Silver Elite Master1000–4999Gray
Gold Nova 1–Gold Nova Master5000–9999Light Blue

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 can use websites such as CSStats or Tracker to 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.
