Feel free to check a more detailed CSGO team ranking yourself. In addition, you can find info on future tournaments, as well as details of the prize money won by each team, on this page. Some teams showed surprisingly great performance, while a few upset the fans and fell short of the community’s expectations.
Heroic – First Place in the Ranking
BLAST Premier: Fall Finals 2022 took place November 23-27. Heroic became the tournament champion, defeating G2 Esports and Team Liquid in the playoffs and FaZe Clan in the final. Their rating currently stands at 975 points – 1st place in the ranking.
The team’s performance was spectacular and interesting, so the Twitch community liked it. Moreover, a world record for grenade damage was set. The Heroic CS:GO roster was the most effective at handling frag and incendiary grenades in major tournaments in 2022. Heroic finished in first place with 29.6 grenade damage per round, averaging 87 games completed.
NaVi – Difficult Relationships in the Team and Deserved 9th Place
Not a single rating or review is complete without the loved and hated Natus Vincere. The year 2022 did not work out for the Ukrainian team initially due to the geopolitical situation in the world – reshuffles, Boombl4 leaving the team, relocations, and many other factors shook the team.
But despite everything, NAVI could cope with the difficulties and got in shape, confirming that it became the most titled team in CS:GO eSports after winning the Spring Finals.
But despite this, the team failed to cope with internal problems. The community heatedly discussed the conflict between sdy and s1mple, which happened right on the stage during the match. As a result, the official NAVI resource announced that, before the end of 2022, Victor sdy Orudzhev left the CS:GO team. With his participation, the team won two BLAST Premier championships and prizes in other tournaments.
We hope the team will recover and return at least to the top 3 rankings, but for now, they only take the 9th place with 490 points.
G2 and Promising M0NESY
G2 performed well throughout 2022. The team reached their peak form thanks to m0NESY. The G2 Esports CS:GO roster has climbed nine positions in the HLTV rankings after winning BLAST Premier: World Final 2022 and is now in the 3rd place. Someone compares him to s1mple, calling him a younger brother, and someone even sees him as a threat to the Ukrainian player from NAVI.
According to analysts, the friendly relationship of the G2 players allowed the team to climb so high. Rasmus HooXi Nielsen took the young m0NESY and NiKo under his wing, turning them into a powerful duo.
As a result, m0NESY showed the best average rating per match at major events during the map with Outsiders (Virtus.pro) at BLAST Premier: World Final 2022 CS:GO. The Russian sniper played the series with a score of 1.94, overtaking the closest pursuers in the person of Dmitry sh1ro Sokolov (1.81) and Alexander s1mple Kostylev (1.80) from NAVI. Therefore, in 2023, m0NESY and G2 can easily take first place in the HLTV. ranking.
Conclusion About Team Rankings
The rating of teams at the beginning of 2023 is quite balanced. Fans and analysts were pleased with Outsider or, as many people remember it, Virtus.pro. FaZe caught a chill mood at the end, but still, they managed to enter the top 5 of the rating, which is also not bad. NAVI, for obvious reasons, failed to take the top places, so 2023 should be decisive for all the players in this organization.
The final results of 2022 have not yet been fully summed up. We are still waiting for the rating of the top 20 players, and the final results will be announced on January 14, 2023. Fans and teams look forward to the final rankings from HLTV and upcoming tours in 2023. As a result, the year for the CS:GO scene turned out to be quite good: scandalous tweets, devastating 16:1 maps, unexpected reshuffles, new talents, and big wins.
