With a huge event like this behind us, where do the best teams in the world stand? Well, veteran eSports journalist Thorin has a say, bringing his own style of ranking top CS:GO teams, over at goldper10.com he says:
CS:GO has always struggled for a consistently updated and coherent set of World Rankings, with so many teams attending different events and the difficulty of judging the context of which event’s results should count for more than another. Rather than construct some kind of elaborate point system and place my expertise into the task of allocating which would receive how many points, I’ve instead looked back over the recent form of each of the teams out there and determined, according to my own analysis and intuition, which team ranks where in my global top 10.
Offline results are the only ones I take into consideration. In general, I consider the results of a team across a range of around three months, with those at the beginning of that period being weighted a little less, in contrast to more recent tournament results. Finishes, consistency, current form and opponents faced are all factors to be weighed up and considered.
Since the last edition of the rankings, IEM X Gamescom and ESL One Cologne, the major, were played.
Thorin’s list has been shaken up because of these events, so see where the top teams stand, and check out the best ten CS:GO teams here.
