CSGO world rankings in June 2019, Astralis dropped to 4th place

June has two big events taking place, the ECS Season 7 Finals with Vitality as the team that won the championship trophy, and ESL Pro League Season 9: Liquid confirmed its No. 1 position, just two steps away from the Intel Grand Slam Season 2. another trophy. In the June LAN roster, Windigo won Moche XL Esports 2019 and OpTic took home the DreamHack Open Summer 2019 title.

In parallel with the LAN tournaments, the Minors closed qualifiers are also taking place, to determine the faces that will attend the StarLadder Major.

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 the new month’s score is calculated, their lineup must hold 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 don’t have a place to compete offline but want to go up the rankings have to work hard at online tournaments).

Charts

Here is the standings of the teams for the month June 2019the “+/-” signs represent the promotion and relegation of the teams, and the difference is when compared to the May 2019 rankings, not the weekly team rankings.

Here are the takeaways from the June rankings:

Astralis dropped to 4th place

June was extremely important to Astralis’ rankings, but underperformed in the first month of summer. The Danish team was relegated to 4th place – their lowest ranking since April 2018. The team attended two major events of the month, dropped out in the group stage of the ECS Season 7 Finals against FURIA, and were subsequently eliminated by Liquid. at the quarterfinals of the ESL Pro League Season 9 Finals.

Although the performance is not very good, but the Danish team still needs to be calm and understand what awaits them. The upcoming post-tournament break will drag down their current scores, but gla1ve and teammates still believe they have the ability to return to the top 1. The ESL One Cologne tournament will be a powerful test of self-esteem. the boys’ confidence and their ability to return to the throne.

Na`Vi drops to #13

Natus Vincere has been out of action for a long time and hasn’t appeared since the group stage of ESL Pro League Season 9 Europe. The CIS team failed to qualify for the tournament in Montepllier, resulting in a roster adjustment.

Ioann “Edward” Sukhariev left the team to join Winstrike, while the young talent Kirill “Boombl4” Mikhailov will replace him. Adjusting the lineup as well as not playing caused the black gold team to drop from 6th to 13th.

From what is available on social networks and VLOG, it seems that Natus Vincere’s new lineup is very cohesive and in top form. The team has bootcamped to prepare for ESL One Cologne, the tournament that will show where the team is now, featuring the top teams in the world.

mousesports and G2 break through the top 10

The two new names that entered the top 10 this time are G2 and mousesports, ranked 8th and 10th. Previously, at 13th and 14th place, both performed well in June. Specifically, G2 reached the final right at this time. home tournament EPL Season 9 Finals, while mousesports made the top 4.

Against Montepellier, mouesports qualified for the upcoming Europe Minor. If they play strongly in Cologne, mousesports can move up to the next level, to get close to the top 5.

As for G2, the French team will take a two-week break and return to the Good Game League 2019 from July 13-14 in Poznan, Poland. Their ability to improve their rankings from this tournament is not high, but IEM Chicago 2019 will be the next opportunity for the team to go deep. The individual performance of the recent superstars shows that G2 is back. If this momentum is right, G2 will have the opportunity to go further.

NRG & FURIA shine

Both NRG and FURIO are up four places from last month and are currently ranked 6th and 7th respectively. Starting with Brazil first, FURIA played a lot in June, shining in London and the ECS Season 7 Finals, beating Astralis in BO1 and BO3 series, knocking Denmark out of the tournament. After qualifying for the Minor, the team faltered in Portugal, losing to GamerLegion in the Semifinals at Moche XL Esports 2019.

Currently, FURIA is the top team in Brazil on the rankings, surpassing fellow country rival MIBR by 5 places. FURIA will attend Cologne this week – a tournament that offers a chance for promotion for young Brazilian boys.

NRG is also competing strongly and is about to return to 4th place despite changing a previous member. In June, the team continued to perform well, reaching the playoffs at ECS and EPL. In addition, they convincingly qualified for the Americas Minor after two series.

Changing leadership and setup in the game, NRG is still a mystery. ESL One Cologne is a tournament for the boys to test the new system against the top teams. Even if they don’t make it to the playoffs, the tournament will give them the opportunity they need to adjust in time for future tournaments, like BLAST Pro Series LA and the Minor.

Pressure on fnatic’s shoulders

The Swedish team dropped from 7th place to 11: leaving the group stage of ESL Pro League Season 9 Finals when they lost to NRG and Heroic. As for the positives, they qualify for the Europe Minor in the closed qualifier winners bracket and prepare to qualify for the next Major.

As JW stated on Reddit, the team is looking to fix internal problems instead of looking for external solutions (i.e. changing members). With the ESL One Cologne tournament, fnatic is in need of a powerful mental drug to return to the glory of the past.

Ancient wins the first EPC Shooting Stars award

Ancient was the first team to win the EPC Shooting Stars award after jumping nearly 30 places in the rankings in just one month, from 50 to 21. The Swedish team received a seven-day boot-camp for six at the Kinguin Esports Performance Center (EPIC), the European esports bootcamp center in Warsaw.

Fredrik’s team “freddieb” Buö qualified for the Europe Minor and runner-up at DreamHack Summer in June. Ancient could advance to the next promotion if he doesn’t lose Fredrik “freddieb” Buö into the hands of NiP – a move that causes Ancient to lose a lot of points.
