	The '''Ranks and Rating System''' in [[Counter-Strike 2]] determines player skill levels and matchmaking. CS2 features two distinct ranking systems: the traditional '''Competitive''' skill groups and the numerical '''Premier''' CS Rating.

	~~== Overview ==~~
	CS2 uses two parallel ranking systems to evaluate player skill. The [[Competitive (Game Mode)\|Competitive]] mode uses the classic 18-tier skill group system (Silver I to Global Elite), with separate ranks for each map. The [[Premier (Game Mode)\|Premier]] mode uses a numerical CS Rating from 0 to 35,000+ that represents global skill across all maps.

	~~== Competitive Skill Groups ==~~
	~~The Competitive mode features 18 ranks, each earned per map:~~

	~~{\| class="wikitable"~~
	\|-
	~~! Rank !! Tier~~
	\|-
	~~\| Silver I \|\| rowspan="6" \| Silver (beginner)~~
	\|-

	~~== Premier CS Rating ==~~
	~~Premier uses a numerical rating system divided into seven color tiers:~~

	~~{\| class="wikitable" style="text-align:center;"~~
	\|-
	~~! Color !! Rating Range !! Percentage of Players~~
	\|-
	~~\| style="background:#808080;color:white;" \| '''Grey''' \|\| 0 - 4,999 \|\| ~15%~~
	\|-
	~~\| style="background:#87CEEB;" \| '''Light Blue''' \|\| 5,000 - 9,999 \|\| ~35%~~
	\|-
	~~\| style="background:~~#~~4169E1;color:white;" \| '''Blue''' \|\| 10,000 - 14,999 \|\| ~30%~~
	\|-
	~~\| style="background:#9370DB;" \| '''Purple''' \|\| 15,000 - 19,999 \|\| ~15%~~
	\|-
	~~\| style="background:#FF69B4;" \| '''Pink''' \|\| 20,000 - 24,999 \|\| ~4%~~
	\|-
	~~\| style="background:#FF4500;color:white;" \| '''Red''' \|\| 25,000 - 29,999 \|\| ~0.9%~~
	\|-
	~~\| style="background:#FFD700;" \| '''Gold''' \|\| 30,000+ \|\| ~0.1%~~
	\|}

	~~The majority of players fall within the Light Blue and Blue tiers (5,000 - 14,999), which correspond roughly to the Gold Nova through Master Guardian range in the old system.~~

	~~== How Rating Changes ==~~
	* '''Winning rounds''' increases your rating, with consecutive round wins having a larger impact
	* '''Losing rounds''' decreases your rating
	* '''Individual performance''' (kills, assists, MVPs) has a smaller influence
	* '''Playing against higher-rated opponents''' yields more rating for wins and less loss for defeats
	* '''Placement matches''' at the start of each season establish your initial rating

	~~== Seasons ==~~
	~~Premier operates on a '''seasonal basis''', with each season lasting approximately 6 months. At the start of each new season, players must complete placement matches. Season 4 began January 19, 2026.~~

	~~== Tips for Ranking Up ==~~
	* '''Consistency''' matters more than individual performance. Win rounds consistently.
	* '''Learn all maps''' for Premier, since you cannot control the map through the veto system alone.
	* '''Communication''' and teamwork win more rounds than solo play.
	* '''Warm up''' with [[~~Deathmatch (Game Mode)\|Deathmatch]] before playing ranked.~~
	* '''Master the economy''' (see [[Economy System]]) to ensure your team has full buys.
	* '''Review your demos''' to identify mistakes and areas for improvement.
	* '''Focus on fundamentals''': crosshair placement, [[Utility Usage\|utility usage]], and [[Movement Mechanics\|counter-strafing]].
