With the release of CS on the new engine, shooter players got access to a completely new game mode – Premier. It has its own advantages and features, which are important for every player to know about. This article written by Volodymyr Huda is dedicated to a new game mode in which each player can unleash their potential. You can also learn more about top CS2 teams and players, for example, Oleksandr “s1mple” Kostyliev from Navi, on the Profiller website.
Premier mode is a new alternative to regular ranked matches. It is available only to players who have signed up for Prime status.
While regular ranked matches used to start with map selection, in Premier the first phase of the match involves a series of bans. One team bans two maps from the active rotation, the second team bans three more. After this, the first team that banned the maps chooses which of the remaining two will host the match.
Premier operates under the MR12 rule – or Max Rounds 12. In other words, half a match in Premier consists of 12 rounds. The team that wins 13 rounds gets the main victory. If there is a tie after 24 rounds, the teams will go into overtime for 6 additional rounds. The first team to earn 16 wins in the round will win.
Finally, console damage reporting is disabled in Premier mode. Players cannot see through the console how much damage they have dealt to the enemy.
Premier works on a new CS ranking system: it uses elo points instead of the usual ranks. Player ratings can range from 0 to 35,000 points. In addition, users get access to different leaderboards that show ranking, number, and percentage of wins, and ranking percentage.
What leaderboards are featured in Premier?
To obtain an initial rating in the game, you must win 10 matches. However, the developers claim that just a good game is not enough to achieve this goal, so they made the task more difficult. The ranking is measured in numbers and is based on the number of victories and defeats. After you complete 10 calibration matches, your rating will change dynamically: victories will increase your rating points, defeats will decrease your rating points. In the CS2 game, every 5000 rating is indicated by a different color and corresponds to the player’s category. There are seven levels in the game, which are separated by colors, ranging from gray (lowest rating) to gold (highest rating).
