What the rating is made of

Valve's model averages four factors into a starting value, then adjusts it for head-to-head results. For FaZe that is 1,615.1 minus 16.4.

The head-to-head correction is 1.0% of the total. Almost everything about where they sit comes from the four factors, not from whom they have beaten.

  • 0.841 is the highest average of any roster Valve loaded and 0.000 the lowest, both printed in Valve's file. If the top pulls away, everyone below falls without playing worse.
  • Valve ranked 401 rosters in this release: every lineup with a win and at least five matches in the six-month window.
  • Head to head is added last: a Glicko adjustment, match by match in date order.
  • Valve's file prints 1,615.1; the factors here are rounded to three decimals.

FaZe: At or above the median of the 23 chasing the slots on all four factors.
