Where QSL fits into VRS
QSL runs the competition
We organise international CS2 tournaments and provide routes into VRS-sanctioned competition. Event rules set the entry requirements and qualification process.
Valve determines the standings
Valve Regional Standings are calculated using Valve’s methodology. Entering an event, qualifying or winning matches does not guarantee a ranking position or a particular change.
QSL displays the published rankings
Our rankings page uses standings from Valve’s public GitHub repository. It is a view of Valve’s published data, not a separate QSL ranking system.
Explore Valve Regional Standings
Track where teams stand based on Valve's official published data. We display a source timestamp only when available, without labeling the standings “live” unless verified.
FAQ
Before you enter
Where will we play?
QSL’s VRS-sanctioned events are hosted on Challengermode. Open events and VRS open qualifiers are hosted on FACEIT. Check the tournament listing for its host.
Does every FACEIT event count toward VRS?
No. A platform label does not establish VRS status. Check whether the listing identifies an open event, a VRS open qualifier or a VRS-sanctioned event.
Does winning a qualifier put us in the standings?
Not automatically. A qualifier provides entry to its named event according to its rules. VRS inclusion and ranking changes depend on Valve’s methodology.
Why do we need FACEIT verification for a Challengermode event?
QSL requires every player on a VRS team to be FACEIT-linked and verified, regardless of where the tournament is hosted.
Where can we check the full requirements?
Read the QSL rules and the rules for the specific event before registering.
