Team Ranking: January 2020

4/2/2020 - 00:34

We have updated our Global team ranking - powered by EGB.com - for January 2020, a quiet month with only one notable LAN event.

One month into 2020 and we're still only getting the first taste of top-tier Counter-Strike of the year after a rather dull month of January, featuring just one international LAN, DreamHack Open Leipzig, where BIG ran out victorious to prove that German CS is finally back on the menu.

With the ICE Challenge only halfway through and BLAST Premier merely regarded as a qualifier, there aren't many changes across the board, with the top five looking exactly the same as in last month's ranking.

BIG are knocking at the door for a top 20 place

Despite a strong performance in London last week, FaZe still lost points and moved down one position after BLAST Pro Series Copenhagen disappeared from the list of recent events. Next week it will be IEM Beijing's turn, which could affect teams like 100 Thieves and Astralis.

To counteract the effects of the player break, we are temporarily extending the "recent form" criterion beyond eight weeks. We will go back to the two-month window for this indicator after IEM Katowice, late this month.

Here's a summary of our ranking for new readers:

Our team ranking is based on teams' achievements over the past year (with severe decay in points throughout each month), recent form over the last nine weeks, and performance at offline events in the last 3 months.

Each team is required to have a three-man core in order to retain their points and online results are included but have minimal effect (only affecting 'Form') at the top of the table and mainly serve to put new teams on the map.

Below is the current top 30 table as of February 3, 2020, which goes more in-depth into how the points are distributed—or you can check our special page, where you will be able to find the latest, weekly version of our ranking.

Please note that the +/- gain on this table differs from our weekly rankings page, and it is related to the ranking update of January 6.

Here are four key takeaways from January's ranking update:

BIG soar after Leipzig show

It had been so long since BIG's fans had been treated to such a dominant showing that it is hard for them to curb their enthusiasm. And who can blame them? After an underwhelming year without a single title to their name and a group stage exit at ESL One Cologne – an event which has always been a priority for them –, BIG pressed the panic button and finally completed the move they had been dreaming about for months, raiding rival Sprout for Florian "syrsoN" Rische and Nils "k1to" Gruhne.

And the early signs could not be more promising. BIG cruised through DreamHack Open Leipzig and beat Virtus.pro, Heroic and Renegades (twice) – three teams ranked above them – to end a trophyless run that dated back to May 2018, moving up 24 spots in the ranking.

BIG's current rank is their highest since September

The German team ended the month by clinching a spot in the closed qualifier for the Europe Minor following a three-map victory over Complexity that was not as close as the scoreline suggests. But it wasn't all good news: BIG were one of the teams who lost their spot in ESL Pro League after the recent changes to the tournament, which is a serious blow to their aspirations. It is still unclear if they will commit to ESEA MDL - a league which, quite frankly, seems to be too small for them.

Note: Under normal circumstances, BIG would be the winner of the EPC Shooting Stars prize, a seven-day bootcamp for six people at the Kinguin Esports Performance Center in Warsaw, Poland. Unfortunately, we regret to announce that the partnership with Kinguin has come to an end.

Nothing new on the northern front

Astralis, mousesports, Liquid, fnatic and Evil Geniuses are all in the exact same place as last month, with Finn "karrigan" Andersen's charges being the only team of the quintet who gained points between the two updates.

All five teams will be in action at IEM Katowice, the first big test of the year. mousesports, who are in the semi-final stage of the ICE Challenge, are the only one who can still gain traction in the rankings before the event in Poland; Astralis and Evil Geniuses will take part in BLAST Premier, but that stage is treated as a qualifier for consistency purposes.

The ICE Challenge will give mouz the chance to close the gap on Astralis

Believe it or not, IEM Katowice will be fnatic's first tournament of the year. By the time it rolls around, 79 days will have passed since the Swedes' last match, in the tournament decider of the ESL Pro League Season 10 Finals. The team's fanbase will certainly hope that their controversial omission from the BLAST Premier circuit will only fuel their drive as we approach the year's first showpiece competition.

FURIA almost out of the top 20

Another team that has been out of action this year is FURIA, who are on the verge of slipping out of the top 20 in the rankings for the first time since March 2019.

The Brazilians had a rough end to the season, with some sub-par showings after the third place at StarSeries i-League Season 8, and things didn't get much better at the turn of the year. They were forced to field Lucas "LUCAS1" Teles as a stand-in in the North American closed qualifier for IEM Katowice due to Henrique "HEN1" Teles' visa issues, and bombed out of the tournament after just two matches.

FURIA will play their first LAN of 2020 in Anaheim

FURIA have now turned their attention to DreamHack Open Anaheim, where they will face a stacked field of competitors for the grand prize of $50,000 plus the spot at DreamHack Masters Jönköping. A good showing in California will be crucial to increase the team's confidence levels ahead of qualifier for the Americas Minor - an event that could make or break Andrei "arT" Piovezan's side.

MAD Lions' success story continues

The former Tricked squad rose up five places, from 21st to 16th (their highest-ever ranking), after an impressive start to the year, both online and on LAN, confirming their status as one of the most exciting teams to watch in the tournament circuit.

MAD Lions began 2020 by qualifying for IEM Katowice, the first Big Event in the history of the team, after coming all the way from the open brackets, defeating teams like North, Heroic and ENCE in the process. They proceeded to qualify for DreamHack Open Leipzig, where they placed top-four after once again taking the scalps of the Danish rivals they had beaten on the road to Katowice.

MAD Lions have reached their highest-ever position in the rankings

Nicolai "HUNDEN" Petersen's charges will have the chance to get some more ranking points in the bag before the IEM event as they are still in contention at the ICE Challenge, where they will face OG in the quarter-finals. Their recent success hasn't gone unnoticed: they have been rewarded with an invite to the closed qualifier for the Europe Minor, which will allow them, at least, to skip the grueling open brackets.

Exactly GROUPs and the group stage points also havent been awarded cause the 2 other groups havent completed, you cant just end the tournament for 1/3 of the teams that would absolutely fuck up the points because some would be considered older while the later groups would keep their points for longer. Thats obviously unfair when it's the same group stage. Once groups are over and placements are decided there will likely be a rank increase also because other teams will decline too.

It's a qualifer yes, that's still has 2 more groups to be completed. Then upon the end of all 3 groups the points for the qualifier will be awarded to the involved teams AT THE SAME TIME. Dont know how much simpler I can say it. They will get more points for the placement once its deemed a completed placement.

jesus fucking christ... you do realize there has to be a cut off point for when events dont count anymore right? Or do you want them to count ESL One Cologne 2014 and put NiP as #1? From this fact alone you should be able to deduce everything you need to know.

I was thinking that the more recent events would count waaaaaay more than the older events, so i thought that faze would shoot up to a much higher rank, i didn't expect these old tourneys disappearing to impact the team score that much, because of how irrelevant those tournaments are. I actually had the opposite idea compared to the nip example

"recent events" that FaZe attend is Blast Premier which already explained will be treated as "Qualifier" for consistency purpose. Hence why it doesn't matter that much even when Faze beat (or destroyed for some people) Liquid in there.

Online tournaments, like qualifiers, barely have an impact. And Complexity, for example, are ranked 44th.

but faze wins count as lan matches to form ranking, or? they should bring more points than online matches in the end copenhagen is out, thats the reason

This stage of BLAST Premier is treated as a qualifier due to the way that it is structured. It only counts for Form.

exactly what i said :D i just wanted to make clear they count more towards the form ranking compared to online matches(e.g. ecs last year) these blast groups are basically the same as the epl lan groups last year

I understand why faze has -1 but still kinda funny, as no one in their right mind would say that faze is worse than it was before this update. Basically the case looks like this (it happened before): - team A wins a title B - team A is shit for some months - team A wins something C, you see huge improvement in their form (mostly eye-test + this result isn't THAT significant yet in a grand scheme of things) - at the same time, title B decays and team A loses points Result is that, despite apparent rise in form (included in ranking) team still loses point and position in the ranking, and hltv is like "OMEGALUL NICE RETARD RANKING" But it will probably self-correct itself next update so whatever

That is how the ranking works, you don't lose 100 points from losing games to shits, they just gain nothing which will eventually lead team to ruin as naturally many other teams keep gaining new results... So it is largely matter if other teams do enough to pass them, and secondly if ence have results expiring. In this case other teams didn't manage to pass them as there wasn't many events and ence didn't happen to have many point losses this month, unlike nip for instance who had their blast 2nd place finish to expire from recent lan ranking, leading to ence passing them. However if ence continue only losing, they will eventually have nothing left, just won't happen over night and if they get some results it makes drop slower, which they have managed to do during recent months, hence managing 11 spot when their ancient results when they were top 3 are added that still have a bit value at least for now.

> BLAST Premier merely regarded as a qualifier Finals are 4.5 months away (for who knows what reason), while there's 100k on the line for each group right now. Makes more sense to regard it as a series of small tournaments. After all Dreamhack Opens serve as qualifiers for Dreamhack Masters, and have the same prize pool, yet are treated as separate tournaments.

Not exactly true, there is a grand final after the qualification spots are already determined. And previous Blasts have also done the whole group stage -> directly to final thing.
