December ended a competitive season filled with events, from minor leagues like DreamHack Open Sevilla and cs_summit 5 to the finals of ESL Pro League Season 10 and BLAST Pro Series. Finally CSGO ends 2019 with the big event of the year, EPICENTER 2019.
Although December has many tournaments, the top 5 on the rankings has not changed much. Astralis is still at the top of the world, 253 points ahead of the mousesports lineup. Evil Geniuses lost 2nd place to the karrigan corps, falling to 5th when it couldn’t keep its form steady.
Scoring mechanism
Here are tTo summarize the factors that affect the scores of the teams on the leaderboard each month:
The leaderboard has a base score of teams based on their performance in the previous year (achievement points). Then there is the “Form” score, which is calculated based on the individual achievements of the Players in the team and the results of online tournaments in the last 2 months. Finally, the LANs point, this point is calculated based on the performance in offline tournaments within the last 3 months.
Also, if a team wants to keep their base score before calculating the new month’s score, their lineup must keep at least 3 players from the previous month. And as mentioned above, the results of the online competition only slightly affect the scores in the “Form” section and it is mainly counted for the purpose of ranking some new teams on the rankings (this is possible. Understandably, because LANs scores affect a lot, teams that do not have a place to compete offline but want to go up the rankings must try their best in online tournaments).
Charts
Here is the standings of the teams for the month December 2019the “+/-” signs represent the promotion and relegation of the teams, and the difference is when compared with the November 2019 rankings, not the weekly team rankings.
mousesports rose to 2nd place
December was a huge success for mousesports after the team won the CS:GO Asia Championships at the end of November. The team participated in 3 major LAN tournaments during the month and all made it to the finals.
ESL Pro League Season 10 Finals and cs_summit 5 saw mousesports lift the championship trophy, especially at cs_summit 5 – the tournament where they only had 3 official members in the lineup when they faced G2 in the final. EPICENTER 2019 was the tournament where mousesports failed to beat Vitality in the final, making it impossible for the boys to end the year perfectly.
Thanks to these unprecedented performances, mousesports climbed to 2nd from 9th last month, even though they had only previously expected to break into the top 5 by the end of the year. For now, mousesports fully deserve the spot and they will probably be a force to be reckoned with in 2020.
Evil Geniuses dropped to rank 5
Regarded as one of the big players in CSGO, Evil Geniuses couldn’t compete with the other teams in December. The most disappointing performance came from the ESL Pro League Finals: the team left in the first round of the playoffs when leaving the game. lost to defending champion mousesports.
Evil Geniuses ended the year with a stop in the semi-finals of EPICENTER 2019, a tournament in which the team played to their best even though Brehze missed the first two games due to visa problems. When the NA star returned, EG lost to forZe in the deciding match but still beat Natus Vincere in the first round of the playoffs. Unfortunately, the team was defeated by mousesports again in the semi-finals.
The tight schedule has taken a toll on Evil Geniuses, according to an interview from tarik. Now, the team must be more cautious in the schedule if it wants to improve the ranking next season.
Cloud9 returns to the top 20 with ATK
Cloud9 is back in the top 20 in the world, a rank that the old roster lost after August 2019. This comeback is thanks to the old ATK lineup. They performed impressively at ESL Pro League Season 10 Finals when they won North and G2.
The results in Denmark are not really surprising if you follow ATK from before. ATK’s old roster has been consistently playing against some of the biggest players in the region in the ECS and ESL Pro League, including MIBR, Sharks, Singularity, eUnited, and even Liquid.
With new ambitions and greater support and drive from the new organization, Cloud9’s current roster could be just what they need to write a new history – overcoming previous turmoil to find to long-term stability.
