The CS:GO year in review.
What rocked the headline, and what made it all worth it.
2023 is just coming around the corner.
With it, we leave one of the more colourful years for CS:GO fans and players.
What a year it was.
There were also many regional and lower-tier LAN events that happened around the world.
In fact, some of the top teams in CS:GO are Russians.
One of the biggest teams affected by the war was Natus Vincere.
While the team escaped the country, their homeland is still being bombarded by the Russians to this day.
Another team that was affected was Virtus.pro.
While this may have stopped some other teams the Outsiders persevered and eventuallywon the trophyat the Rio Major.
2023 is still an unknown factor for teams from Ukraine and Russia.
Go Europe!
Like in previous years, the continental Europe countries still dominate the top-rank teams of CS:GO.
The biggest problem with the global ranking is that other regions do not have any big teams playing internationally.
Anew ranking systemwill also be deployed in 2023, replacing the current system.
The new system will track results across multiple events for better team invitation management for 2023.
Officially, the first tournament to use this system will be the BLAST Paris Major in 2023.
