The new Valve Ranking System has shaken up the Counter-Strike competitive scene, especially for Tier 2 teams. In this episode, THREAT from NiP joins myself and Thorin to unpack this complicated system and its impact on players, teams, and tournament organizers. We dive into the mechanics of the ranking points, discuss loopholes, and explore how the system affects smaller teams striving for success.

From the challenges of open qualifiers to financial viability for organizations, we break down the key issues and debate Valve’s approach to competitive CS. Plus, we touch on match-fixing concerns and what the future holds for the ecosystem. It’s a dense topic, but we’ve done our best to make sense of it!
