In a competitive game like Counter Strike 2, ranking well earns players bragging rights. However, there are now two ranked modes in which a player can participate and progress. There is now a new Premier Match option in addition to the regular Competitive Matches.
Today we are introducing CS Rating—a precise display of your skill in Counter-Strike 2. With regional and World Leaderboards you’ll know exactly how you stack up.

The entire article will make use of this phrase. Every participant will have a visual representation of their skill groups or ranks when they participate in Competitive CS2 matches. However, there are differences in the procedures for achieving ranks in these two Match kinds. We are here to support you through this because of that.
Unlocking competitive mode in CS2
CSGO’s rank function is one of the things that has changed with Counter Strike 2. The various rankings are known to those who have previously played CS: GO, but they have been somewhat eliminated in CS2. So let’s see how this new system operates.
The procedure for becoming eligible to play Competitive in CS2 doesn’t take very long. CS2 has a leveling system that is distinct from the competitive ranking system as previously mentioned. This leveling system measures how frequently a player plays the game rather than how skilled they are. Simply by playing the game more, players can advance in level.
What if PREMIER mode would only be accessible after reaching GLOBAL ELITE on all competitive maps in CS2?
Or something similar to this idea.
Sounds insanely competitive and very close to FACEIT with their Master League and FPL-C / FPL.— HaiX (@KingHaiX) September 18, 2023
Players do not need to have a Prime Status for the Competitive Mode. Simply playing previous modes will unlock this one. After winning 10 placement matches in Counter Strike 2, the gamer will receive a ranking similar to CS:GO in Competitive Mode. They will receive one of the following Ranks in CS2’s Competitive Mode depending on how well they perform.
Silver I
Silver II
Silver III
Silver IV
Silver Elite
Silver Elite Master
Gold Nova I
Gold Nova II
Gold Nova III
Gold Nova Master
Master Guardian I
Master Guardian II
Master Guardian Elite
Distinguished Master Guardian
Legendary Eagle
Legendary Eagle Master
Supreme Master First Class
The Global Elite
To get XP and advance in Counter-Strike 2, the players must win as many games as they can. Their ranking or rating will drop the more games they lose.
