CS2 Premier rating
Premier ranks you with a CS Rating number instead of a named skill group. The number shows after 10 wins in the season and is coloured by band, from grey up to gold at 30,000.

| 0 to 4,999 | Grey |
| 5,000 to 9,999 | Light blue |
| 10,000 to 14,999 | Blue |
| 15,000 to 19,999 | Purple |
| 20,000 to 24,999 | Pink |
| 25,000 to 29,999 | Red |
| 30,000+ | Gold |
How Premier works
- Each season resets ratings. Season 5 began on 8 July 2026.
- Your rating appears after 10 wins in the season. Until then you see a placeholder.
- A season medal needs 25 wins.
- Teams pick and ban maps from the Active Duty pool before each match, so one rating covers every map. See the current map pool.
- Premier has regional and global leaderboards; Competitive skill groups do not.
FAQ
How many wins do you need for a Premier rating?
You need 10 wins in the current season before your CS Rating is shown.
What is a good Premier rating?
Valve does not publish the spread of ratings, so there is no official average. Colours are a fair guide: each band is 5,000 points wide and gold starts at 30,000.
