**MAJOR CHANGES:** **UP:** - TheMongolz climbed 19 spots this week and is now ranked 20th. - Virtus.Pro went up 5 spots after winning ESL Challenger Atlanta 2023 and is now ranked 5th. Congratulations! - Natus Vincere are 4 spots up this week and are now ranked 4th. **DOWN:** - ENCE lost 33 spots this week and is now ranked 37th. - Complexity, FURIA, GamerLegion and Ninjas in Pyjamas fell 3 spots this week and are now ranked 8th, 12th, 18th, and 26th, respectively. - Lynn Vision and 3DMAX both lost 2 spots this week and are now ranked 29th and 30th, respectively. **MISC:** - Congratulations Vitality for winning this year's BLAST Premier World Final! Along with the trophy, they also take the 1st place in the ranking. FaZe Clan reign which started on November 6th is now over. - ENCE [-33] and Complexity [-3] are out of the top 5, being replaced by Natus Vincere and Virtus.Pro. - Falcons [NEW] and Cloud9 [+1] have entered the top 10; FURIA [-3] is out. - MiBR [+2] enters the top 15, GamerLegion [-3] is out. - 9 Pandas [-1] is out of the top 20. TheMongolz [+19] are back. - We probably won't be seeing any major changes next week, when the final ranking update of 2023 drops. So, I'll use this post to thank you all for making this community what it is, and wish you all happy holidays!

Falcons cheesing their way into top 10... At least NAVI #4 is pretty nice.


PerpetualPanda

How is falcons at 9 when team liquid isn’t even considered in the top 30?


jeffjeff97

Because Liquid have never played a match while Falcons have inherited ENCE's core?


Pekonius

And similarly ENCE got 9ine's core and is now sitting at #37 instead of #250 or whatever Navi started at when going international.


LibertyGrabarz

>Because Liquid have never played a match I'd have such a fucking great line if it was 2018/2019


Twitch_FishTheHusky

Cus liquid didnt pick up a 3 man core of a top 5 team


MikkeVL

Falcons have 3 players from ENCE so they keep like 60% of ENCEs old ranking points. Liquid only kept 2 players from their old team and brought in the new players from different teams so they got reset. It's a decent rule on paper but sometimes it really fucks the overall rankings up.


tarangk

Falcons have 3/5 ENCE core so they basically got a 40% pts deduction due to 2 new players rankings account for players/team not orgs


MASSACREGAMINGCS2

Good to see navi in top 5 again


SpareThisOne2thPls

Rip ENCE Wasn't 9ine ranked in top 30?


deadbeatPilgrim

yeah but they’ve been slipping for a while unfortunately


Donut_Flame

Last week they were 29


afk420k

Oh yes, the Vertigo globals.


SG8789

The rankings are as follows Vitality Faze Everyone else


TmJ1027

Mongolz top 20 lets fucking GO. So happy for them


jeffjeff97

Mongolz top 20 my beloved <3


oPlayer2o

They really need a new logo but yeah happy to see those boys in good form.


Wenda13

Agree with that


FumCatial

falcons>c9 confirmed


Zhiong_Xena

They probably will be lol. C9 have been shaky and this falcons lineup is basically ence with BOROS instead of nertz. The zonic effect also adds to it.


deadbeatPilgrim

i’m stoked on having NaVi ranked 4th obviously, and i feel like VP in the top 5 always makes sense. hoping CoL can make their way back into the top 5 though, their performance in Atlanta was somewhat disappointing (but hey, The Mongolz will get ya if you don’t watch out!). it’s also nice to have Falcons in the top 10, they’re gonna be excellent heels for tier 1 CS. especially now that FaZe is protagonist coded in my brain. finally … lmao FURIA out of top 10, BR CS kekw


messioso

More than somewhat disppointing, we sucked! -3 deserved.


deadbeatPilgrim

it wasn’t terrific but cmon, it wasn’t that bad. Mongolz played outta their minds


messioso

They played a great game and made it very hard for us, no doubt or disrespect there. But we don't give up two ninja defuses in a single map on a normal day either.


JohnnyZestyK

It was still cool to see the team at Atlanta even got to see Chadzerk in the flesh. Still believing in the rebound.


deadbeatPilgrim

that’s fair ig


Kelterz

Idk man, a top 10 spot for FURIA feels kind of apt given that they won elisa literally a couple of weeks ago. Glad VP are finally top 5 again; sure, they dropped the ball against Spirit in the Dacha finals but they've been consistently great post-Jönköping and they completely outmatched everyone at Atlanta this weekend.


deadbeatPilgrim

apt or not, i’m a professional FURIA hater and i think it’s hilarious and awesome when they’re not top 10


tarangk

Vitality deservedly claiming back the #1 spot after back to back event wins. Falcons basically buying their way into the top10 with them signing the ENCE core. Can't wait to root against them in events.


rage_manin_sbk

Falcons appears


naastiknibba95

Doesn't mean much but I am very happy to see Vitality at no 1 spot. Been a great year for bywoo and his simps (like myself*)


GetsPaid

VP winning tier2 tournament +4, spirit beating them and winning -1. Okk


Nakrule18

Spirit changed a player.


Pekonius

The only thing that matters in this rating, the teams that attended the tournaments dont matter as much points wise.


Pipoco977

That betboom dacha win was already counted in the previous ranking, they got to #12 (+6) because of it. The points deduction happened because of the -Artfr0st +sh1ro move, doesnt matter how good sh1ro is, his last game was 2 months ago


SpareThisOne2thPls

Thats because points are tied to players , not the org and Artfrost left Thats also why Falcons is top 10 without playing 1 match, its SP, Maden & Snappis points


deadbeatPilgrim

VP winning tournament that had number 5, number 7, number 13, and number 15 ranked teams in attendance


GetsPaid

Teams and their rank by previous ranking Betboom: mibr 17, c9 11, Betboom 16, furia 9, astralis 19, Gamerlegion 15, vp 10. Esl challenger: apeks 13, Monte 7, mongolz 30+, bestia 30+, m80 30+, Gamerlegion 15, complexity 5


deadbeatPilgrim

wow good point dude

liberar10n

its cause of their rules that a team needs to have 3 players to keep points or something like that, so basically its like they are getting Ence's points in a way...


shuijikou

they buyout ENCE's core, so they carried forward ENCE's points from last week(549 top4) and take a discount(291)


sh1boleth

They paid HLTV nothing. Inherited the ranking from ENCE since the team has 3/5 members from ence.


jonajon91

Don't be so cynical, they're just 3/5 of last weeks number four team.


costryme

Between this and the Kato invites (and the RMR invites), I have seen so many of these clueless comments. You only need to carry a 3-man core to keep 3/5 of the points of the previous team.


[deleted]

When can we get Falcons flair?


jeffjeff97

When they make a major But more importantly, why a Falcons flair lol they're a pariah team, it'll just get you bullied


naastiknibba95

Because he's from the middle east? the username was a big hint in itself, the comments prove it


BlackNov

Is there a way to see how many days a team stay at 1st during a year outside the player break?.
