FACEIT CS2 Elo and skill levels

What is a Skill Level?

Skill levels are directly linked to Elo ratings, which span from 100 to infinity and serve as a reflection of a player's perceived skill and game knowledge. The idea behind pairing players with similar Elo ratings is to create evenly matched-games.

The brackets of Elo differ depending on the game but skill levels range from  to  . The Challenger rank is achieved by the top 1000 players at level 10.

	Level 7 1351 - 1530
	Level 6 1201 - 1350
