Wondering how ranks in Counter-Strike 2 work? Counter-Strike 2 brings quite a few changes to Counter-Strike: Global Offensive’s ranking system, with different methods of rankings being used between modes. Luckily, we’ve got your back with this quick explanation of rankings in both main modes of CS2.
Here’s everything you’ll need to know about ranks in Counter-Strike 2, including how they work in both Premier and Competitive and how they’ve changed from CS:GO.

If you’re new to CS2, this will let you familiarize yourself with each map alongside players at your skill level. To see your rank for a map, you’ll need to reach 10 wins on that map. CS2’s Competitive ranks are as follows:
