Outsiders top HLTV.org's ranking after winning IEM Rio Major 2022

The victory at IEM Rio Major 2022 saw Outsiders rise to the first spot in HLTV.org's ranking of the strongest teams in the world following the weekly update.

Compared to last week, Dzhami "Jame" Ali's squad gained five places. Following the leaders in the ranking are Heroic and Cloud9, who moved up eight and two spots, respectively.

Besides the aforementioned changes, FURIA, MOUZ and Team Spirit, all of whom took part in IEM Rio Major 2022, also improved their positions within the top ten. In turn, Vitality, FaZe and Liquid, who were unable to make it to the top 8 of the concluded Major, lost six places each.

There have also been a number of changes outside of the top 10. All of them, however, were not caused by the teams' results in any tournaments, which were not being held during the Major, but by decay in points for previous events.

The HLTV.org's ranking is updated weekly and primarily takes into account the results for the last two months. The team's achievements over the past year are also considered, while the number of points for past success decreases every month.
