Valve counts only the ten best wins in each of these three factors. All thirty slots are full, so a new result counts only by pushing an older one out. A loss takes no slot: it moves only head to head.

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 LP that is 933.3 plus 5.6.

The head-to-head correction is 0.6% of the total. Almost everything about where they sit comes from the four factors, not from whom they have beaten.

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 933.3; the factors here are rounded to three decimals.
LP: Below the median of the 15 chasing the slots on all four factors.
1 of the 74 matches were against sides in the world's top 30, and the largest change in any of them was 2.0 points.
How these numbers are made
Valve prints the points rounded to a whole number.
In the scatter both axes are Valve's: across, the opponent's world standing (unranked at the far right); up, Valve's head-to-head change for the match.
