Counter-Strike like you've never seen before
Have you heard the news? Counter-Strike 2, the legendary competitive game, has received a complete makeover! Valve has not only changed the ranking systems, but also the way you can improve your skills on different maps. And that's not all - more players than ever have been invited to the CS2 beta. Here are all the details.
New rankings and the Premier mode
Let's start with the new rating system. Your placement now changes based on your performance in the brand new Premier mode. Each season, the regional and global rankings are reset, giving you a fresh chance to prove yourself. The Premier mode is separate from regular matchmaking, allowing you to compete against other top players.
Changes in Competitive Games
Competitive games are now shorter and more intense - they consist of only 24 rounds instead of 30. In case of a tie, there will be a six-round overtime to determine the winner. With these shorter games, you can play more matches in less time.
Map-Specific Ranks
Another exciting addition in Counter-Strike 2 is the introduction of map-specific ranks. This means that you will have a separate rank for each map - if you excel in Dust, for example, your rank there might be higher than on other maps. This helps you identify which maps you are already very good at and where there is still room for improvement.
More Access to CS2 Beta
Lastly, there is more good news for all CSGO players: more players than ever now have access to the Counter-Strike 2 Beta. Anyone with CSGO Prime Status and an active competitive skill group can now try out Counter-Strike 2 testing. Perhaps this is a sign that the full release of the game is not far away!
Conclusion
The future of Counter-Strike 2 looks promising - with all these changes, we can look forward to many exciting matches! Are you ready for this new challenge?
