Current rank and observed peak
Premier CS Rating and FACEIT Elo belong to separate competitive systems. Keep them separate when comparing players. cs.ninja displays the current values returned by each source and uses the relevant rating or level badge.
A current value is not necessarily the highest rank a player has achieved. An observed peak is the highest value available in the retrieved history. If older matches are missing, that peak is a lower bound on what the account may have reached, not a verified all-time record.
Read the chart with its coverage
The Premier chart follows available rating observations. Check dates and sample size: gaps can reflect unavailable records, not inactivity or a sudden loss of rank. A provider may return recent matches without a complete history of the account.
Prior season records are useful when they are actually supplied. An absent season entry does not mean the player was unranked. cs.ninja distinguishes available season peaks from peaks observed only within the loaded match sample.
FACEIT level, Elo and historical games
FACEIT level is a band; Elo is the more detailed value within or beyond that band. Two players at the same level may still have different Elo. Read the current rank next to the historical peak and its source.
Older CS:GO records and current CS2 records cover different games and periods. A CS:GO peak should not be presented as a CS2 peak. When one source has incomplete data, follow the provider link to inspect the original profile and its coverage.
Compare like with like
A useful comparison uses the same platform and a similar time window. Match count, recency and a player’s recent results provide context for changes in rating. A high peak followed by a lower current rank can have many explanations; rank history alone cannot establish misconduct.
