Explanation of the rating system Wingman in Counter-Strike 2
Wingman is a fast and exciting 2v2 mode in Counter-Strike 2. This is a great choice for players who want to get competitive experience, but do not have time for a full-fledged 5v5 match. Each game in Wingman is much shorter, usually lasts about 15-25 minutes, but still remains tense and exciting.
Despite its smaller scale, Wingman has its own rank system. This means that you can track your progress and pick up with players of your level. Don’t worry – your rank in Wingman does not affect your rank in 5v5 Competitive. In this guide, we will explain everything about the Wingman rank system in CS2.
How do Wingman ranks work?
Wingman has a separate rank system from the Competitive mode. This means that your rank in Wingman does not affect the main rank Competitive and vice versa.
In total, Wingman has 18 ranks, from Silver I to Global Elite, as well as in the main game mode. Here is a complete list of Wingman ranks:
- Silver I
- Silver II
- Silver III
- Silver IV
- Silver Elite
- Silver Elite Master
- Gold Nova I
- Gold Nova II
- Gold Nova III
- Gold Nova Master
- Master Guardian I
- Master Guardian II
- Master Guardian Elite
- Distinguished Master Guardian
- Legendary Eagle
- Legendary Eagle Master
- Supreme Master First Class
- Global Elite
You need to win 10 games to get your first rank in Wingman. After that, your rank will be updated depending on your victories, defeats and how well you play in matches.
What influences your rank in Wingman?
CS2 does not disclose the exact formula, but your rank in Wingman is based on:
- Victory and defeats: Victory gives the best chance to raise the rank. The defeat can lead to its decrease.
- Individual performance: Murders, MVP titles, and high-coston points can help boost your rank faster, even if you’re losing some matches.
- Level of enemy skills: Winning over higher-ranking opponents can accelerate the rise of your rank.
A high-ranking friend game can affect how much your rank will change, especially if the match is easy or one-sided.
How to increase the rank in Wingman faster
If you want to climb in the rank of Wingman, here are some simple tips:
- Play with a friend: Communication is the key to success. Playing with someone you know helps in teamwork.
- Use the microphone: Even with a casual friend, discussing positions and plans can help win rounds.
- Study the maps: Wingman cards are smaller, so card control and positioning are of great importance.
- Practice aiming and moving: Each duele is important in 2v2 – staying in shape helps a lot.
- Don’t get boring: Wingman games are short. One bad round does not mean that the game is lost.
How often is your rank updated?
Your rank in Wingman is updated after each match, but you may not always see the changes right away. CS2 uses a hidden system of “rating” behind the scenes. You may need multiple wins in a row to raise your rank, or a few defeats to reduce it.
If you don’t play Wingman for a long time, your rank may disappear and you’ll have to play a match to get it back.
