CSGO World Ranking March 2020

March 2020 will go down in CSGO history because of the corona virus pandemic. It has impacted the event as well as the schedules of teams around the world. Tournament organizers were forced to change to online, with ESL Pro League Season 11 and Flashpoint season 1 both ongoing.

To reflect the new changes in professional CSGO due to the impact of the translation, the ranking formula has been updated. Online tournaments featuring top teams, like ESL Pro League and Flashpoint, are now under Achievements and Recent Events. The article will continue to evaluate how the professional market is and make further adjustments if necessary.

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 03 2020the “+/-” signs represent the promotion and relegation of the teams, and the difference is when compared with the February 2019 rankings, not the weekly team rankings.

Here are five key takeaways from the March rankings:

NAVI takes the throne

Natus Vincere proved his doubters by winning IEM Katowice 2020. The team ended a titleless year convincingly defeating the likes of Liquid, Astralis and G2. Second in the world rankings after the success of Katowice, the CIS tycoon took over the throne of Astralis in March, and brought NAVI to the world No. 1 position for the second time in game history.

Due to changes in professional play, the CIS team was forced to participate in major online matches for the first time in two years. The start of March looked pretty bleak for the boys as they lost 0-2 in the ESL Pro League, to BIG and North. But this was also the time when the team revived, returning to the top seed of its group with three consecutive victories. NAVI defeated Astralis in round 2 to bring the record of winning the Danish team in 2020 to 3-0.

Despite the current difficult times, Natus Vincere has finally achieved the goal he set out for a long time. In many interviews, team stars s1mple and electronic shared that individual rankings don’t matter and that the big goal has always been to bring the team to the top of the world. The CIS team has now achieved it, but as many competitors have drawn before, how long it will hold onto the title is an entirely different story. The mission of s1mple and the team is to defend this position. Only time will tell how long the boys will stand at the top of the world.

MIBR is back in the top 20

At the beginning of March, MIBR ranked 22nd in the world, the lowest ranking among key members of the team since the world rankings were released in November 2015. After a rough start in Flashpoint 1, when they lost 2-0 to Chaos, MIBR continued to drop to 26th. But then, the team turned around at the end of March even though team coach Zews had to leave.

However, after that loss, MIBR gradually dominated in Flashpoint 1, winning every series and topping both groups to claim the 2nd seed, entering the playoffs. MIBR was also suddenly awarded an invitation to ESL Pro League Season 11, the tournament in which the team also made it through to the group stage after a three-way tie between Swole Patrol and 100 Thieves. The trio of fer, FalleN, kNgV- helped them get those wins. MIBR gradually recovered in the latter part of March and climbed to 19th in the rankings.

MIBR has been on a downward spiral since ending its North American test run in late 2018, dropping nearly 20 places in just over a year. This squad has not been able to return to its former glory, but with playoffs at Flashpoint 1 and ESL Pro League S11 North America, they have a chance to return to the top 15 if they continue to strive.

OG continues to climb

OG’s form was somewhat erratic: from the top 4 cs_summit 5 in the debut tournament and the top 2 in the BLAST Premier Spring Series group stage, to disappointing performances such as 5th-6th place at the ICE Challenge and elimination in the ICE Challenge. IEM Katowice Open qualifiers. That trend continued into March.

OG started the month at world 16 and were considered heavyweight contenders for the Minor, but they only finished 9-12 in the closed loop, losing to Heretics and GODSENT. The national squad recovered over the next fortnight: winning BO3s in the ESL Pro League group stage against TYLOO, G2, mousesports before beating Vitality in the play-in.

Interestingly, it was mantuu, the inexperienced AWPer, who performed the best as the team rose to 14th in the world rankings. However, OG needs to find more stability in the gameplay and avoid unnecessary failures, like Virtus.pro, if they want to keep their hopes up in the top 10 in the next few years.

G2 is close to the top

2020 must be said to be a great year for G2, when they are in 3rd place in the world. A poor performance in the first round of ESL Pro League wasn’t enough to distract the boys. They won the group stage of BLAST Premier Spring Series and made it to the final of IEM Katowice.

Criticized for its decision to internationalize then, G2 is now reaping the rewards of this experiment. Led by the talent nexa, the team has improved a lot and if this trend continues, no one can predict how far G2 will go.

Heroic sinks after adjusting the lineup

Heroic is unlucky when it comes to difficult situations. First, the mission to FunPlux Phoenix broke down even though they played a match under the Chinese organization, because es3tag agreed to join Astralis. After that, the team had to go home – being replaced by the Bad New Bears squad in Flashpoint. With es3tag and Snappi on the bench, Heroic fell 11 places and is now only the 4th strongest team in Denmark.

Another long road awaits the team, starting with the rebuilding of the squad. This process is difficult to swallow, but with an established structure, the Danish organization will aim for higher positions in the rankings.
