Team ranking: August 2011

Game: Counter-Strike 1.6

HLTV.org is proud to present to you a feature that has been missing in the scene for far too long - Team ranking. In the first edition we will present to you the ranking from the end of August.

Team rankings haven't been taken seriously in the scene for several years now, so we finally decided to put a stop to that. In order to make the feature as credible as possible, many factors need to be considered, so for this job HLTV.org brought in Etienne "reakq" J. who has been working on such very detailed ranking for several months, making his name by displaying his work in our blog section.

The purpose of this ranking will be to, as objectively as possible, rank the teams based on their results and achievements in international tournaments. It's purpose is not to claim that Team A is better than Team B, but to help everyone keep track of the form of top teams and their overall success.

First of all, with this being a new feature, I will explain how it was made.

Initially, each event is given a level from 1-9 based on the following three factors: how well known the event is, the variety of countries represented and the number of top teams in attendance.

Points for each team in each event are then calculated, where a team can win or lose points based on the following factors:

  • team's final placing at the event
  • winning or drawing a match
  • bonus points for defeating a higher ranked opponent (inversely, the higher ranked team will lose points)
  • bonus points for round difference

All of these factors give a different amount of points based on the level of the event. For example, getting a top3 placing at IEM5 European Finals brings more points than the same placing at ICSC 8.

Finally, there is a depreciation system in place, which considers the fact how old an event is, decreasing the amount of points distrubuted from previous events as time passes. For example, points gained during IEM5 World Championship in February are in August worth 68% of their initial value. Also, an inactive team will see its place decrease after losing points month after month.

Events in August

The ranking includes events dating back from the very beginning of the year, but let's see which August events caused the latest changes.

The new IEM system gave us qualifications for the first Global Challenge in Guangzhou. Temporary secured the American spot by defeating Backfire (although it turns out they won't attend the Chinese event), while Fnatic, Anexis (then known as TCM-Gaming) and mousesports took the Europeans spots.

IEM6 GC Guangzhou final qualifer
fnatic mousesports
Anexis Temporary

Without a doubt, the biggest LAN event of the month was e-Stars Seoul 2011 where SK's invincibility was ended by Frag eXecutors. ASUS Summer 2011 was another notable LAN tournament, although less influential.

e-Stars Seoul 2011 ASUS Summer 2011
1st Frag eXecutors 1st Frag eXecutors
2nd SK Gaming 2nd DTS
3rd Natus Vincere 3rd/4th Lions
4th mTw 3rd/4th Natus Vincere


After these events, is SK still at the first place? Did Frag eXecutors make up the gap with Na´Vi and SK? What will be mousesports' & WinFakt's place after their e-Stars performances? Are ESC Gaming, M5 and Anexis affected by not attending e-Stars?

The Top 10

Let's take a closer look at the current top 10 teams and what affected their place on the list.

 
10. WinFakt

WinFakt boot Lions out of the top 10 and take their 10th place. Even though the Finnish team wasn't able to reach the final step for the Guangzhou GC, they made a very respectable top 6 at e-Stars.

Top matches: WinFakt 16-9 fnatic
  WinFakt 16-5 project_kr
  WinFakt 16-8 eSahara
       
Results: 5-6th at e-Stars


 9. mousesports

After qualifying for the IEM6 GC Guangzhou and a top 6 at the e-Stars, mousesports make a really strong comeback with the best increase of the month (+10 places).

Top matches: mousesports 16-13 WinFakt
  mousesports 16-8 WinFakt
  mousesports 16-11 Lions
       
Results: qualified for IEM6 GC Guangzhou
  5-6th at e-Stars


 8. Anexis

Despite of not attending e-Stars, Anexis keep their 8th place thanks to their qualification for the Guangzhou Global Challenge, although mousesports & WinFakt are now very close to the Danish team.

Top matches: Anexis 16-12 WinFakt
  Anexis 16-7 Lions
       
Results: qualified for IEM6 GC Guangzhou


7. Moscow Five

Even though M5 was inactive during the month, they keep their 7th place despite losing some points.

6. ESC Gaming

Just like M5, ESC was inactive but stays at their 6th place. 


5. fnatic

Since their victory at the IEM5 European Finals, fnatic seem to have difficulties to climb on the top of big events. The Swedish powerhouse stays at the 5th place, despite in August only winning their ticket for the Guangzhou Global Challenge and finishing at for them disappointing 7-8th place at e-Stars.

Top matches: fnatic 21-19 Anexis
  fnatic 16-6 x6tence
  fnatic 16-14 Soltec
       
Results: 7-8th at e-Stars
  qualified for IEM6 GC Guangzhou


4. mTw

4th at the e-Stars, mTw has not been able to reach the podium contrary to usual. There is now a real gap between the Danish team and the current top 3.

Top matches: mTw 16-6 mousesports
  mTw 16-12 project_kr
       
Results: 4th at e-Stars


3. Natus Vincere

The first indisputable team of the top3 is Na´Vi. As SK and Fx are currently winning almost everything, Na´Vi is lurking from behind after a 3rd place at e-Stars and a top4 at ASUS Summer.

Top matches: Na´Vi 22-18 mTw
  Na´Vi 16-3 WinFakt
  Na´Vi 16-12 mousesports
       
Results: 3rd at e-Stars
  3rd/4th at ASUS Summer


2. Frag eXecutors

Frag eXecutors have made a strong comeback after missing major events DH Summer and GameGune. As the Polish team has won both e-Stars and ASUS Summer, they are the team of the month and those achievements put them at the 2nd place, very close to the top spot.

Top matches: Frag eXecutors
 16-9 SK
  Frag eXecutors
 16-8 Na´Vi
  Frag eXecutors
 2-0 DTS
       
Results: 1st at e-Stars
  1st at ASUS Summer


1. SK gaming

Despite their defeat against Fx in the e-Stars final, SK keep their 1st place in the ranking, mainly thanks to their 3 successive victories at DreamHack Summer, ICSC8 and GameGune.

Top matches: SK 16-8 mTw
  SK 16-9 Na´Vi
  SK 16-10 fnatic
       
Results: 2nd at e-Stars

2011-09-12 19:46:38
Hahaha..!!

2011-09-12 20:02:14
HEADSHOTBG made me lose 30k :(
2011-09-12 20:46:57
ESC made me lose 140m (no kiddin ) and i was the first in top10 -.- that was very stupid lol
2011-09-12 21:11:47
sometimes teams are very disapointing
2011-09-12 22:41:34
not really teams are disappointing, but gambling, guys, gambling :>
2011-09-13 01:04:33
hahaha that's true :D but i'm not a gambler,i never gamble in real life and i haven't won anything from gambling or anything else...that's why i am not so disapointed but i was hoping so badly to win something xD but never mind,life goes on :D
2011-09-13 16:43:57
ESC made me lose 80k >.<
2011-09-13 21:44:58
140m>80k >.< so i win (lol) :D
2011-09-14 13:39:26
which match? :D
2011-10-06 04:11:09
GJ hltv.org !
let's go Frag eXecutors, to the top.
2011-09-12 20:00:07
ITSSSSSS WROOOOOOOOOONG, NAVI TOP TEAM <3
2011-09-12 23:33:21
lol, now for long they arent.
2011-09-13 12:50:05
whatever....I respect your opinion, but I know what I mean, they are better than any team I've ever seen.
I'm not putting down the other teams, but this is my opinion !

is only sad that they are not engaging in counter-strike like last year, if they were, they would score twice in the sk (yn)
2011-09-13 13:39:32
sk on top? whata bullshit :p temporary condition
2011-09-12 22:05:01
ye, who will bet them?
2011-09-13 00:12:51
???

I suggest you seek a doctor

SK has (can't argue with this)

the best lineup in the whole world

but fX is the.. hmm how could I say, they are just GREAT on decisive matches and stuff and they are natural WINNERS, they will always be "Titans".

aside that.. I like Navi and all but I believe mTw is the 3rd, they can win against SK and fX
2011-09-13 00:13:25
but FX now lose to M5 ,and the chance to New York,they are not stable.Not like SK . NOly top 4 have the ability to beat them in LAN
2011-09-13 03:27:06
Ok, SK will win every small/med lan, but Can you count how many times Golden5 won eswc/wcg ? The most important lans.

But ye, they are not stable in a year, they are stable for like 5 years winning most major events

e0t
2011-09-13 12:51:48
SK are new ..
2011-09-13 13:16:48
so how ffs he can says that SK is the best, like NaVi, they won everything in 2010 , everyone NAVI THE BEST IN THE WORLD, now they arent so how u can judge someone for little time space ?

"they are not stable.Not like SK "
Sry, it isnt swedish dreamteam which in 2012 wont be exist, EOT
2011-09-13 14:19:27
> SK has (can't argue with this)
> the best lineup in the world

Stopped reading there, you're retarded. Hell, when you said 'can't argue with this' it was a pretty massive red flag you're lacking in IQ.
2011-09-13 07:22:29
I'm sorry, so tell me wich team has a better line-up than SK? please.
2011-09-13 23:02:16

Well done.
2011-09-12 19:18:39
SK's team played very well this year.
deserved.
2011-09-12 19:18:41
deserverd? rather not.

*IEM5 European Championship Finals, Group Stage:
Frag eXecutors (16) vs SK Gaming (13)

*IEM5 World Championship, Semi-finals:
Frag eXecutors (2) vs SK Gaming (1)

*Xperia PLAY 2011, Final:
Frag eXecutors (2) vs SK Gaming (0)

*e-Stars Seoul 2011, Upper bracket:
Frag eXecutors (16) vs SK Gaming (9)

*e-Stars Seoul 2011, Final:
Frag eXecutors (2*) vs SK Gaming (1)

FX is unbeatable for SK but yeah, they won LANs where FX can't attend. GG for them. Ahh, I almost forgot, FX lose vs M5 inet match, they are unstable, it's not important that on every LAN they was minimum top3 in this year...
2011-09-13 21:16:31

2011-09-13 23:03:03

and +1 for a team going down 1 place.
anyways it was difficult to undertand the rankings :D
2011-09-12 19:39:08
Its not :)

Pretty dumb comment.
This is referring to the flaws of statistics, which is completely appropriate.
2011-09-13 14:45:08
Saying a team would have won an event if they attended is stupid. Maybe you saw his edited comment only, but thats what he said before.
2011-09-13 20:31:40
Fair enough, IF he specifically talked about winning (rather than attending) then it was a rather useless comment.

2011-09-12 19:45:10
Temporary would rape the fock out of some teams like HEADSHOTBG, x6, Soltec, Delta, etc

2011-09-12 19:45:14
mm but if they keep not attending any tours they will not be in that list, BROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
2011-09-12 19:47:37
And then you woke up
2011-09-12 23:06:19
lol? temporary has wayyyy more skill than a good amount of the teams in top25... they definitely could beat a good amount of those teams. they are at least even in skill
(if not better) and would could have extrmely close matches (if not winning) with dts, firegamers, kerchnet, esahara, virtus, pain... and would almost definitely beat x6, soltec, project_kr, delta, umx, and hsbg.

2011-09-13 07:08:08

mTw has missed some recent events like GG'11 and ICSC8. Also, the team really needs to win a major event this year, that's their main problem :(
2011-09-13 13:24:05
might be right, the missing of a major championship :)

FG :)
2011-09-12 20:02:48
This rank its good but might not be truth at all

Why?

Because some good teams might miss good events because of funding.

What if a team with low funding goes to WCG and ESWC only during the year, and then manage to win them both with 16-5 MAX results against navi, fx, sk, mtw and all.

Meaning they're for sure the best team out there, but with low ammounts of points because of low funding.

Im exaggerating yeah but FX would be top1 if they didnt miss those events

EDIT: just like DTS, events they attend with navi as oponent, Event they manage to win.. or at least beat NAVI

Altough I think that system shows more like the ranking of team in last year.

I think the previous results should count less than they do now.. FX should be top1 atm.

Finally, there is a depreciation system in place, which considers the fact how old an event is, decreasing the amount of points distrubuted from previous events as time passes. For example, points gained during IEM5 World Championship in February are in August worth 68% of their initial value. Also, an inactive team will see its place decrease after losing points month after month.
2011-09-12 20:53:07
smart
2011-09-12 21:07:04
I can read.. and I read all you wrote

You should have read what I wrote more carefully..

As I said before, previous results should count less than they do now, meaning that for example the 68% you pointed out, in my opinion it should less than 68% /for example 20%) ...

2011-09-13 02:25:58
"ukrainian guys are probably the most quite guys around here!" ? now, maybe. but a few months, i don't think so... it's not about childish. I visit 2/3 times HLTV per day, and some time ago, in most of the matchs of NaVi, i saw some ukrainians just saying "navi > all" , etc ! Now, when HLTV made a team ranking, i dont see any ukrainian saying nothing, whatever congratulating NaVi or still saying "navi > all" ... I don't "incriminate" the ukrainian guys, just compare, old times (months), to now. peace :-D

Awesome work, been way too long since we've had something like this done in the CS scene and its really great to have.

I think the results look reasonably accurate too, and it'll be interesting to see how it progresses over time. Good job!
2011-09-12 22:06:21
Awesome job as usual. My love for CS is back because of you guys, hltv crew.

I prefer best team of the month title than best team of the year, which isn't finished, yet.
2011-09-12 22:32:06
well that wouldnt be a lot of fun considering there are only 1-2 major tournaments played every month
so the team of the month would be super easy to guess based on those results
2011-09-13 22:37:15
Troll ranking! :P Great job!

Would be weird of the ranking system was based on results against each other.

You know, like if say DTS beats Na'vi, then na'vi loses points and DTS gains points.


Basically a ladder system.
2011-09-12 22:33:29
Superb, well done.
2011-09-12 22:34:36
Awesome! Looks just about right!

Good read.
2011-09-12 23:01:35
how is sk better than fx? sure they won more tournaments but most of them b/c fx wasnt there and when they did face each other fx made sk look like col 2010(oh snap i went there)
2011-09-12 23:02:31
they have played 9 maps against each other and it's 7-2 to SK, ya kn0w

And SuPeRhErOtEaM wasnt there either. They would have won everything for sure. Logic <3

WOW, 2 teams from Brazil in the top 25 teams of the world ? That's a start !
2011-09-13 00:05:17
Na'Vi is placed too high.
2011-09-13 00:24:16

2011-09-13 01:01:02

2011-09-13 02:20:26
Nice job!
2011-09-13 02:39:44

2011-09-13 03:03:55

Good job, glad to know a team ranking system here.
Great for HLTV.org, good for us.
2011-09-13 04:28:33
Even though GoMeZ won't say it, he is a little disappointed by the clear lack of a pie graph.
2011-09-13 04:38:16
very sexy
2011-09-13 05:21:38
a suggestion: display a table where we can find out exactly the rating of an event.

a question: how exactly do you CALCULATE the points. if you did mention it above, i seem 2 have missed it.

and you seem to have missed the fx v sk e-stars final on ferno 19-17.

I think it is unfair for Chinese teams, because Tyloo is unable to take part in some of events such as Xperia PLAY, DreamHack Summer and GameGune, same as American teams
