Counter-Strike: GotFrag World CS Rankings updated

By: Trevor Schmidt - Published March 30, 2004 at 5:16 AM EST - Writer Archive
The 15th update of the World famous GotFrag CS Rankings is released today. SK.swe continues its dominance while the North American ranking has the closet race for the top spot in the history of the rankings. Both lower rankings have major shake ups as everything sorts out from many early team breakups.
Team Name Prev Change Points FPV
SK.swe 1 0 480 24
NoA 2 0 300 0
mouz 3 0 293 0
EYEballers (Team64) 4 0 180 0
mibr 5 0 146 0
Adrenaline[GX] 6 0 129 0
3D 7 0 122 0
United 5 9 +1 78 0
4 Kings 8 -1 73 0
D-Skyline 10 0 34 0

Outside the Top 10: TEC (11), The Titans (6)

Date Completed : 3/29/04

Next Poll: 4/30/04

Analysis: SK sweeps the top votes again for the second straight voting period while NoA loses ground due to its roster shake up. They still hold off mouz though while EYE losses ground to mibr and 3D. Adrenaline also lost ground to 3D and u5 who both are coming on strong. 4Kings lost a spot to u5 who jumps up even though the difference was only 5 points. Intel Cybersports Cup Winner D-Skyline grabs the 10th and final spot.

Outside the Top 10: Deadzone (11), iFate (10), Formula 1 (5)

Date Completed : 3/29/04

Next Poll: 4/30/04

Analysis: In one of the closes first place voting ever in the rankings, 3D pulled out a narrow vote over u5. Seven points its all that separated the two teams showing how close the community feels they are right now. With the death of RDW and the great play of TEC, they find themselves jumping up into the 3rd spot. Rival also feels the love moving in above EG who had a disappointing out of division record in CAL against the other top teams. TSG, moving up two spots, stayed above surging zEx who joined the CAL-I league late and is currently 5-1. Gamewyze gained a spot due to Forsaken’s fall to 9th while e7 continues to hold onto the 10th spot even though they aren’t in CAL-I.

The Titans unranked new 48 0
Good Game 10 +2 37 0
Alternate Attaxx unranked new 20 0
OCRANA.D-Link unranked new 15 0

Outside the Top 10: Gamers.nu (6), a-Losers.MSI (4)

Date Completed : 3/29/04

Next Poll: 4/30/04

Analysis: The top stays relatively the same but Adrenaline makes up a little ground in the point totals on EYE and mouz. SK.swe continues its complete dominance of the top spot and should remain the same until they drop a major LAN match. The next two stay the same but D-Skyline (+17 points) really makes up ground on 4Kings (-8 points) closing the gab on the 5th spot after a huge LAN win this weekend. The lone Danish representative comes in next as The Titans show their face at 7th after the disbanding of Matrix. The next three spots also go to new teams as GG rejoins the list after a long period off. Alternate Attaxx, a red hot German team, is currently tearing up ESL after wins over a-Losers.MSI has them up to 9th while SEL winner HLO.Caya grabs the final spot from xP.se.

Russia counts as European for the voting, but it was a little late for everyone to take into account Intel Cybercup. BTW I don't think Caya is disbanded, if they are OCRANA.D-Link will take over the 10th spot.

4K should be infront of mibr imo, then just move everyone down one and looks good :]. I dont think zEx should be on there since they havent proved much at a lan event and they also had a bunch of close games in cal-p

Adrenaline[GX] won over mibr whit results like 13-3 @ CPL, how can mibr be ranked higher?

Its kinda strange to see mibr ahead of adrenaline when you think mibr have only had 1 good international LAN performance, at which they finished behind adrenaline and lost to them twice, neither of which were close games. Also adrenaline have like 6 good LAN finishes and a number of LAN wins, mibr has 1 good LAN finish and 0 wins. Add to that the fact that we've not heard much from mibr lately, whilst adrenaline took a map off SK like 2 weeks ago and I just can't see any reason for mibr to be ahead of them. Of the 4/5 major international LANs adrenaline attended last year I don't think they came below 4th in any of them, yet they're ranked 6th in the world.

#20, EG beat the supposed #1 team in NA, and it was not on 3D's worst map (cbble), which proves they are a top contender for the #1 spot. People tend to think online also means alot, and judge off of it, so dont be so optimistic about it.

Meh, as far as I'm concerned, SK is the only team in the world that can be considered number 1 anywhere. There is no number 1 in North America because of how flip flop clans are. Next week Nerve might be number 1, or even iFate. Who knows. 3D does amazing at one event, and awfully terrible at the next. u5 is rising, but still average online and LAN performance.

Online matters. No team, except maybe EG for doing well at WCG (cdt? lol), and Rival for always doing terrible on LAN, plays any different when it comes to LAN. 3D performs the same, u5 performs the same, TEC performs around the same, etc...

I think they forgot InAction (former highFidelty) the second best clan in germany and the onliest clan who could beat mouz in Germany!
And Alternate isn´t that good everybody thinks! For example : Yesterday they lost against scarlex (not really the best team) 16:1!!!

im surprised at 3D, i know NoA is a very good team, but i would think 3D that has been around longer and is proven over a series of events would place higher than a new comer

What is Team 3D doing in top 10? seriously they might have a place on the american top 10, but sure not for the whole world...

...... they were only together like a month or 2 before the event and they placed 2nd in the world....3D has been together for 2 yrs (on april 6th) and they placed 13th-16th -_- ya gotta give NoA credit
jESUIT: "and this sexy peice of man is Matt Dickens"

#18 and #19 nailed it. However Midway doesn't have much control over these rankings other than choosing who votes. There's gotta be a better way to do rankings. /me racks brain

Bullen went to Spixel but played with Caya in SEL.
Don't remember if cArn and Nebb went to GNU before the SEL finals, but they play there now.
Hyper plays for EYE but played with Caya in SEL.
chea is the only one still in Caya.

GNU will probalby be a european top 10 team soon. Maybe also Spixel and Online!

#34 why not ? 3D is #1 NA ranking not only IN top10 but they are on top so if u5 is top10 world ranking 3D should be too cuz they place higher in NA and also in my opinion if 4K and D-Skyline in top10 it think 3D should be too i know sometime they pull some stupid lost but they are still a good team and still on top of NA cs ;o

These so called rankings are are even worse than the new layout on gotfrag. I've hardly visited this site since it was changed. Navigation is the worst I've EVER seen on a so "news" page. Better change it or this site is bound to die out...

LOL.

You base your rankings FAR to much on CAL results.

lol #34 your joking right?

#38 what recent results could put mibr above adrenaline? And with those two leaving their roster is: Vesslan, XeqtR, quick, Lucchese, Notorious ( according to http://www.sogamed.com/?s=communitynews&s.. ). With Vesslan's leadership and a proven top5 team in the world, I'm failing to see the weakness here.

Ask SK who they think are better... (I presume they will say mibr)
Eventhough Adren wiped mibr @ CPL, they had pretty close matches during their bootcamps.
IMHO, they are tied, but adren has won some important tournaments that should be taken into account (click and eswc), THEREFORE I BELIEVE adren deserves a better ranking.

#19 mibr brought SK to Brazil for a week or so to bootcamp. And won some maps as well. That's not a valid point.

#37 I can say that Attax is the new Perdox or TAMM!!!! :Þ (or the ill-fated eSu.de) with some n!faculty and SK players alongside!

nice to see D-Skyline and TheTitans there!
go g.nu!
