Here's how your CS Rating compares to the ranks in CSGO
Valve has completely changed the rank progression in CS2 by introducing the CS Rating. If you’re still confused about how you stack up, this latest stat-based rank comparison may help.
CS Rating is simple, but it’s tough to tell precisely what number is considered decent. For example, you may see questionable plays at 5K Rating games, which can be confusing since it doesn’t seem like a terrible number. This rank comparison with CS Rating may help understand who you’re up against.
Credible stat site scope.gg has analyzed thousands of Counter-Strike 2 matches to find accurate CSGO rank equivalent of CS Ratings. If the CS rating is confusing initially, old players may use this info to tone their skills according to the opponent’s level.
CS Rating compared with CSGO ranks
Here’s what each CS Rating level means in terms of CSGO ranking, according to the stats:
CS Rating (CS2) Rank (CSGO) Silver I (S1)
1000-2445 Silver 2 (S2)
2445-3275 Silver III (S3)
3275-3695 Silver IV (S4)
3695-4108 Silver Elite (SE)
4108-4565 Silver Elite Master (SEM)
4565-4911 Gold Nova I (GN1)
4911-5367 Gold Nova II (GN2)
5367-6177 Gold Nova III (GN3)
6177-7054 Gold Nova Master (GNM)
7054-7951 Master Guardian I (MG1)
7951-8862 Master Guardian II (MG2)
8862-9734 Master Guardian Elite (MGE)
9734-10243 Distinguished Master Guardian (DMG)
10243-11248 Legendary Eagle (LE)
11248-12242 Legendary Eagle Master (LEM CSGO)
12242-13750 Supreme Master First Class (SMFC)
13750-15461 Global Elite CSGO (GE)
15461-30,000+
This correspondence has been finalized after analyzing 453K matches in CS2, according to scope.gg. This means the questionable plays in the 5K rating are likely being executed by a Gold Nova. If you’re playing against a player with over 10K rating, you’re basically in a DMG lobby. Players with a 30K+ rating are the best of all, crème de la crème of CS2.
