Abstract

This paper aims to test the validity of the esports ranking system published by HLTV, which is widely recognized and used for ranking teams in Counter-Strike: Global Offensive (CS:GO). The results of the study demonstrate that the HLTV ranking system has a reasonable level of explanatory power in predicting the outcomes of CS:GO matches. Furthermore, the study reveals that the difference in abilities between two consecutively ranked players decreases as their ranking in CS:GO gets lower, similar to tennis rankings, resulting in a pyramid-like structure. As a result, spectators, sponsors, and bettors can rely on the information provided by the ranking system to make informed decisions and enhance their viewing experience during tournaments.

确认HLTV排名的有效性

本文旨在测试HLTV发布的电子竞技排名系统的有效性，该系统被广泛认可并用于《反恐精英:全球攻势》(CS:GO)中的排名队伍。研究结果表明，HLTV排名系统对CS:GO比赛结果的预测具有合理的解释力。此外，该研究还揭示了两个连续排名的玩家之间的能力差异会随着他们在CS:GO中的排名下降而减小，这与网球排名相似，从而形成金字塔状结构。因此，观众、赞助商和投注者可以依靠排名系统提供的信息做出明智的决定，并在比赛期间增强他们的观看体验。
