Vitality returns to top 2 in HLTV ranking

HLTV.org has released its updated world ranking of top Counter-Strike 2 teams. Vitality has returned to the number two spot following their victory at StarLadder StarSeries Fall 2026, while Falcons have dropped to fifth place.

Additionally, MIBR climbed from No. 18 to No. 12, while NRG surged 24 positions to break into the top 24. B8 now holds the 14th line, while BetBoom Team has slipped into the top 15.

Several other teams – including Inner Circle, M80, and JiJieHao – showed improvement over the past week. Conversely, squads such as 9z, The MongolZ, and magic saw their positions decline.

HLTV's ranking is updated weekly and primarily takes into account the results of the last two months. Teams' achievements over the past year are also considered, with the number of points for past successes decreasing each month.
