Natus Vincere is just over twenty points behind their nearest competitors. FaZe, meanwhile, were able to improve their position, pushing fnatic out of sixth place. Some notable shifts occurred in the top 30 as well. In particular, another Russian team – Gambit Youngsters got into the rating.
In addition, the HLTV portal recently published an interesting statistic that describes how top teams have been affected by the transition to online. Astralis and mousesports – managed to adapt to the new conditions the worst of all for the last four months they lost on these positions. Team Heretics and Nemiga Gaming showed the most progress. Cyber athletes from various teams have repeatedly commented that the online format interferes with the usual team interactions and often prevents good results.
