Valve’s plans to revamp the ranked system for Counter-Strike: Global Offensive (CS:GO) with a skill-based matchmaking mode, Counter-Strike 2 (CS2), have been making waves in the gaming community. This overhaul is expected to bring significant improvements to the game, particularly in terms of matchmaking and anti-cheat measures. In this blog post, we’ll take a closer look at what players can expect from the new CS2 ranked system.
What is Counter-Strike:Global Offensive?
Before we dive into the details of the new ranked system, let’s quickly recap what CS:GO is. Counter-Strike: Global Offensive is a first-person shooter game that was released in 2012. The game has two teams – terrorists and counter-terrorists – and players compete in different game modes, including bomb defusal and hostage rescue.
One of the most popular features of CS:GO is the ranked system, which assigns players a skill group based on their performance in competitive matches. The ranked system currently features 18 ranks spread across six tiers, ranging from Silver to Global Elite.
Valve’s Plans to Revamp the Ranked System
Valve has announced plans to revamp the CS:GO ranked system with a new skill-based matchmaking mode called Counter-Strike 2 (CS2). The specifics of the overhaul are still unknown, but Valve is expected to improve the matchmaking system and implement better anti-cheat measures.
Retaining the Core Structure of the Current CS:GO Ranked System
While the specifics of the new CS2 ranked system are still unknown, it is expected to retain the core structure of the current CS:GO ranked system. This means that players can expect to see 18 ranks spread across six tiers, with each rank reflecting their skill level as well as that of the other players in their lobby.
Expected Tiers and Ranks In CS2
Based on the current CS:GO ranked system, the following are the expected tiers and their corresponding ranks:
- Silver: Silver I, Silver II, Silver III, Silver IV, Silver Elite, Silver Elite Master
- Gold: Gold Nova I, Gold Nova II, Gold Nova III, Gold Nova Master
- Master Guardian: Master Guardian I, Master Guardian II, Master Guardian Elite, Distinguished Master Guardian
- Legendary Eagle: Legendary Eagle, Legendary Eagle Master
- Master: Master, Supreme Master First Class
- Global Elite: Global Elite
Improvements to Matchmaking and Anti-Cheat Measures
One of the major areas of focus for Valve’s revamp of the ranked system is matchmaking. The new CS2 system is expected to feature skill-based matchmaking, which means that players will be matched with others who have a similar skill level. This should result in more balanced matches and a better overall gameplay experience.
In addition to improving matchmaking, Valve is also expected to implement better anti-cheat measures in the new CS2 ranked system. Cheating has been a major issue in CS:GO, and Valve has been working to combat this problem with measures such as VAC (Valve Anti-Cheat) and Overwatch. With the new CS2 system, players can expect even more robust anti-cheat measures to help ensure a fair and competitive gaming environment.
