CS:GO World Rankings: Top 10 Teams in July 2015
CS:GO has always struggled with consistently updated World Rankings due to the difficulty of judging the context of different events. Instead of creating a complex point system, I have analyzed recent form to determine the global top 10 teams.
Only offline results are considered, with emphasis on the past three months. Finishes, consistency, current form, and opponents faced are all factored in.
1. FNATIC
FNATIC remains on top with impressive performances in recent tournaments, including wins over top teams like NiP.
2. Team SoloMid
TSM is gaining ground with their recent win and strong form. The next few months will determine if they can claim the number one spot.
3. Na`Vi
Although Na`Vi couldn’t beat FNATIC and TSM in their recent event, they displayed consistency and are expected to remain at the elite level.
4. EnVyUs
EnVyUs experienced significant roster changes, which may affect their standings if they can’t achieve consistent results with their new lineup.
5. Cloud9
Cloud9 has performed well in recent tournaments, including impressive wins over EnVyUs and FNATIC. This is the highest ranking for a North American team in the history of these rankings.
6. Ninjas in Pyjamas
NiP’s recent performances have been inconsistent, with playoff finishes but no series wins against top teams. They have dropped in relevance and strength.
7. Virtus.pro
Virtus.pro’s recent results have been lackluster, and they find themselves outside the top six for the first time. Their fall has been gradual.
8. Team Dignitas
Dignitas gained a spot due to Titan’s decline and their own wins against them. Titan has struggled to defeat top 10 teams in recent months.
9. Titan
Titan has fallen from their position as underdogs, with no series wins against top 10 teams in three months. Their new roster will need to prove itself.
10. FlipSid3
FlipSid3 did not compete recently, but their past performances in various tournaments keep them in the top 10.
