After a long break, we are finally able to bring back our Team ranking. However, before getting you fully up to date, we will firstly look back into history and quickly make up for the missed months, starting with the not-so-eventful September.
It's been a long time since we announced our first, and until now only, edition of the Team ranking back in August, but we are finally able to bring that feature back. For those who don't know, or have perhaps forgot, what this was about, here is a reminder of how the ranking is made.
The purpose of this ranking is to, as objectively as possible, rank the teams based on their results and achievements in international tournaments. Its 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.
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 March are in September worth 70% of their initial value. Also, an inactive team will see its place decrease after losing points month after month.
| Events in September |
The ranking includes events dating back to the very beginning of the year, but let's see which September events caused the latest changes.
We witnessed a pretty inactive month with only two noteworthy events.
Mainly, the final qualifiers for the Global Challenge in New York were played online, during which Evil Geniuses, Backfire and Temporary secured the American spots, while SK Gaming, Moscow Five and mTw took the European spots.

Apart from that, the only other event was DreamHack South Europe, at which k1ck secured a spot for Dreamhack Winter, thanks to their victory in the final against DN-Gaming.

Will these minor events have any influence on the overall ranking? How do these teams compare when looking at September results only? Read on to see the answers.
| The Top 10 of the month |
Let's take a closer look at the top 10 teams of September and see what affected their place on the list.
10. 
DN-Gaming
DN-Gaming finished 2nd at DreamHack South Europe after a close final loss to k1ck. The Spanish team performed decently at this event, drawing against Ricardo "fox" Pacheco's team in the group stage and winning against Defining Stars in the semi-final. Thanks to that, they obtained the 10th place of the monthly ranking.
