CSPPA reveals a new CS:GO world rankings system
The Counter-Strike Professional Players' Association has revealed its own rankings system that looks to rank CS:GO teams in a more transparent way that also promotes its overarching goal to improve playing conditions.
The new rankings, which aim to "promote a more sustainable work-life balance" for CS:GO players, aim to reward individual teams' performances over a 36-week rolling period but only award ranking points to a select number of tournaments and will not award any to tournaments hosted during player breaks. Although points are awarded to individual players, with the total points of all five players tallied up for the team's score, the rankings system does not penalise players for missing events through injury, illness, or mental health breaks.
"Current rankings systems incentivise players to play as many matches and tournaments as possible," the CSPPA announcement reads. "[Existing rankings] often fail to afford players and teams reasonable protections in case players are unable to attend matches or tournaments due to health and burnout issues."
