Gambit returns to the top 10 of ESL rankings

Tournament operator ESL has updated its ranking of the best teams in the world. The only change in the top 10 was the exchange of positions between Virtus.pro and Gambit, who are vying for the tenth position after the redesign of the scoring system in early December.

The top five still includes Astralis, Vitality, NAVI, BIG, and Heroic, which also corresponds to the current version of the HLTV.org rating. There are still seven CIS representatives in the published top-30 list: NAVI (#3), Gambit (#10), Virtus.pro (#11), Team Spirit (#16), forZe (#20), Nemiga (#22), K23 (#30).
