Valve updates global rankings with new formula breakdown
Valve has finally updated their global rankings for the first time since the beginning of the Regional Major Ranking tournaments. In the rankings page update, the developer has also included a full detailed breakdown of how the rankings are calculated, which includes the "Bounty Offered," "Bounty Collected," "Opponent Network," and LAN Wins.
For Bounty Collected, Opponent Network, and LAN Wins, Valve is only considering the ten best results from each team over the past six months. In the case of Complexity, these wins include victories over teams like paiN, HEROIC, and Liquid. The full ranking breakdown is available on the Complexity page.
