CSGO : Spirit’s lead at the top extended to 403 points after they won BLAST Bounty Season 1 Finals.
The new year brought about several changes to the Counter-Strike circuit with events now using Valve’s Regional Standings (VRS) to determine invites.
January brought about the first of those after the tournament break with BLAST’s all-new Bounty format, which saw 32 teams whittled down to eight in online competition before heading to the tournament organizer’s studios in Denmark for the LAN final.
IEM Katowice’s Play-in stage took place alongside three local LANs — XSE Pro League 2025, ZOWIE eXTREMELAND Asia Open, and ICE Invitational 2025 — and several tier-two online events, including Frost and Fire Season 1, CCT Season 2 Europe Series 16, and United21 League Season 25.
For new readers or those in need of a refresher, here’s a summary of how the HLTV World Ranking by 1xBet works:
Our team ranking is based on teams’ achievements over the past year (with severe decay in points throughout each month), recent form over the last two months, and performance in recent events in the last 3 months.
Each team is required to have a three-man core in order to retain their points. Online matches and tournaments are included, but with a diminishing factor which means they cannot make a big difference among the top teams, and mainly serve to put new teams on the map.
Below is the current top 30 table as of Monday, February 3, which goes more in-depth into how the points are distributed.
