CSPPA delays release of CS:GO rankings to "improve the methodology"

The Counter-Strike Professional Players' Association has today announced that it will be delaying the release of its monthly CS:GO world rankings to focus on "improving the methodology."

The CSPPA's first world rankings announcement last month drew a lot of questions and criticism from the CS:GO community for its massive discrepancies compared to established rankings from the likes of ESL or HLTV. The CSPPA's rankings aimed to rank teams on their performances at events but would penalise them or give less weight to results from events that would clash with its ethos of creating better working conditions for players.

While the sentiment seems good in practise, the order in which the CSPPA ranked the world's top teams was laughed at by a large portion of the CS:GO community. The association has now announced that it will not release September's rankings in order to focus on "improving the methodology" after plenty of feedback. It will now return with a rankings update in October instead.
