CS:GO World Ranking – June 8th, 2020

G2 climb up to second as Astralis fall to #4.

The rest of the top 10 remains unchanged as #BLASTPremier EU Showdown's placement is not included towards achievement sub-ranking due to the 3rd place decider.

The main change with this week’s HLTV rankings is that G2 have moved up to 2nd place, and Astralis have dropped down to 4th. This is the lowest they’ve been since 2015, back when they were still under TSM.

How did Astralis’ performance drop off?

With their recent roster changes (due to player breaks) they have had very terrible performances overall and have definitely shown signs of stress and frustration. Here is what Dev1ce tweeted after their match versus NiP in the European DreamHack Masters Spring 2020:

I think we could have won that one! Thats it for the tournaments before our break. GGs @NiPGaming and especially wp @twist !
See you in August.

In an interview with French esports website 1pv.fr, Kasper Hvidt, Astralis’ head of sports stated that they will be skipping cs_Summit 6 due to them getting punished for player substitution.

With this break the danes will definitely use the time they have to continue working on adapting to the new changes the squad is undergoing. Hopefully they manage to work through the issues and problems they are facing and return to competitive CS:GO as a force to be reckoned with.
