CCT tournaments lose ranked status

Counter-Strike 2 developers have taken away the ranked status from the CCT series tournaments. Thus, starting from January 17, participants will not receive ranking points for matches held at CCT events.

This decision was made by Valve due to "irregularities discovered in the invitation process of the event". Information about this appeared on the HLTV.org website. Neither the developers nor the CCT organizers have commented on the situation yet.

Earlier, the Counter-Strike 2 developers also sent an official letter to tournament operators demanding that they comply with the new rules for holding competitions, which came into force at the beginning of 2025.

Note that a few days ago, the organizer of the Champion of Champions Tour (CCT) series announced ten new events planned for the first quarter of 2025 – they will be held in Europe, North America and South America.
