Premier is Counter-Strike 2’s new ranked mode, allowing players to experience more than just regular competitive matches thanks to the pick-ban system. You can climb the leaderboards and compare yourself to your friends, and thankfully, it’s easy to unlock Premier in CS2.

In CS2, rankings are split into two branches: a rating in Premier mode and rankings for each map in Competitive mode. Premier has become the go-to mode for many competitive players.

Here's everything you need to know about Premier in CS2.

In CS2 you earn points for winning games in Premier mode. These points increase your position on the regional, seasonal leaderboards. It is transparent, because everyone can see how many points they (and everyone else) have earned in a season so far.
