About CS2ServerList
On This Page
Our Mission
CS2ServerList is a platform dedicated to tracking Counter-Strike 2 servers. We provide tools for players to discover servers, create their own communities, add servers to favorites lists, and track server statistics for up to 30 days.
We believe that the heart of gaming lies in diverse, passionate communities that create unique experiences. Our platform aims to showcase these hidden gems, helping players discover new and exciting servers while supporting the growth of independent gaming communities.
Supporting Small Communities
Unlike other server browsers that often prioritize large commercial networks with hundreds of servers, CS2ServerList is designed specifically to help smaller, independent communities thrive.
We offer equal visibility and promotion opportunities to everyone, regardless of server size or commercial backing. Our features are built to help community servers stand out based on quality and player experience, not marketing budget.
Personalized Experience
When you first visit CS2ServerList, you'll see servers based on your location/IP address. This helps you discover nearby servers with better ping and potentially more players from your region.
You can always adjust filters to explore servers from other regions or with specific game modes that interest you.
How Our Ranking Works
Our ranking system is designed to highlight active and engaging servers. It updates daily, using a rolling 7-day window of server statistics. The score is composed of several factors:
Player Engagement
Heavily prioritizes absolute player count (90%) over server fill ratio (10%), ensuring servers with more players rank higher regardless of server size.
Raw Player Bonus
Direct bonuses for servers with higher absolute player counts, including progressive scaling that rewards servers with more players.
Activity Score
Measures server activity in the last 24 hours, recent uptime trends versus historical data, and update consistency.
Server Stability
Rewards consistency in player numbers, preferring servers with a stable player base over those with wild fluctuations.
Peak Performance
Recognizes the server's ability to attract a high number of players at its peak.
Prime Time Activity
Server performance during its region-specific peak evening hours (Europe, North America, Asia, Oceania).
History Bonus
Servers with longer history (up to 7 days) receive a bonus multiplier, giving priority to servers with consistently maintained presence.
Daily Updates & Data Driven
Our ranking system updates daily using a rolling 7-day window of historical performance data. We heavily weight recent activity to ensure rankings reflect current server performance. Servers must demonstrate consistent player activity and sufficient data points (a minimum number over the 7-day window) to achieve and maintain their ranking.
Focus on Sustained Performance
Our ranking system is based on server performance trends collected over a 7-day period. A server's current online/offline status at the exact moment the ranking script runs does not solely dictate its rank if it has strong historical data. Instead, prolonged inactivity or consistently low player counts will lead to a lower rank score.
Understanding Your Server's Rank
The ranking system is designed to be a fair representation of server activity and engagement. If your server's rank is lower than expected, consider these common factors: insufficient player count, inconsistent uptime, or limited historical data. New servers may take up to 7 days to establish a strong ranking as the system collects sufficient performance data.
