CS2 ratings, explained
What the numbers on a CSNexus.rocks profile actually mean: Premier rating, FACEIT Elo, Leetify rating and more.
What is the CS2 Premier rating?
Premier rating (often called CS Rating) is Valve's official matchmaking rating for the Premier game mode in Counter-Strike 2. It replaces the old CS:GO rank badges with a number, typically between 0 and 35,000+. Roughly speaking, below 5,000 is beginner territory, 10,000 to 15,000 is average, 20,000+ is strong, and 30,000+ is close to the top of the leaderboards. Your rating goes up or down after every Premier match depending on wins and losses.
What is FACEIT Elo and how do FACEIT levels work?
FACEIT is a third-party competitive platform for CS2 with its own Elo rating. Elo starts around 800 to 1,000 and is mapped to 10 skill levels: level 1 starts at 100 Elo, level 10 begins at 2,001 Elo. Most players sit between level 3 and 7. Level 10 players with 3,000+ Elo are usually semi-pro or pro level. FACEIT Elo is often considered a better skill indicator than Premier rating because of stricter anti-cheat and a more consistent player pool.
What is the Leetify rating?
Leetify analyzes CS2 demos and computes a rating that measures your round-by-round impact compared to an average player in similar situations. A Leetify rating of 0 is exactly average, positive values (like +2.5) mean above-average impact, negative values mean below average. Leetify also breaks performance into aim, positioning, utility, opening duels and clutches, which is what the detailed stats on a CSNexus.rocks profile are based on.
What is a good headshot percentage or K/D in CS2?
For most players a K/D ratio around 1.0 is solid, since it means you trade evenly. Anything above 1.2 sustained over many matches is strong. Headshot percentage varies by role and playstyle: 40 to 50 percent is typical for riflers, AWPers naturally sit lower. Single-match spikes mean little, so CSNexus.rocks shows aggregated stats over recent matches instead.
What does the trust factor on CSNexus.rocks mean?
The trust score on a profile is our own heuristic, not an official Valve value. It combines signals like account age, Steam level, hours in CS2, ban history on Steam and FACEIT, and consistency between stats across platforms. A low score does not prove anything by itself, it simply flags profiles worth a closer look before you trust a lobby invite or a trade.
How do I check someone's CS2 stats?
Paste any Steam profile URL, Steam ID or vanity name into the search on CSNexus.rocks. You can also swap steamcommunity.com for csnexus.rocks in any profile URL. We then aggregate the player's Steam data, FACEIT stats and Leetify performance into a single page, including Premier rating, FACEIT Elo, recent matches and frequent teammates.
