Gold
30,000+The peak, well under 1% of players. Semi-pro and pro talent lives here.
Red
25,000 - 29,999Elite. A small fraction of the player base reaches this far.
Pink
20,000 - 24,999Top-tier matchmaking. Sharp aim, disciplined teamplay.
Purple
15,000 - 19,999Strong players with clean mechanics and real game sense.
Blue
10,000 - 14,999Above average. Reliable aim, map knowledge and utility usage.
Light Blue
5,000 - 9,999The largest group of players. Solid fundamentals, still ironing out consistency.
Gray
0 - 4,999Where everyone starts after placements. Learning maps, economy and the basics.
How CS Rating works
CS Rating behaves like an Elo system: you gain points for wins and lose them for losses, scaled by how strong the enemy team is. Beat a higher-rated team and you gain more; lose to a weaker one and you lose more. Winning matters far more than individual stats. For the full detail, read how CS2 Premier rating works.
