Parivision has climbed into the top three of the global Valve Regional Standings (VRS) for February 2026 following its BLAST Bounty Season 1 victory in January.

February’s VRS determines invitations to four Tier 1 events taking place between March and May, 2026.

Revealed on February 2nd, the latest edition of the global Counter-Strike 2 rankings follows BLAST Bounty Season 1, where Parivision took home its first high-profile trophy by defeating Team Falcons in the Grand Final.

Thanks to that victory, the Serbian esports organisation has cemented its place as one of Counter-Strike 2’s elite teams. Moreover, the team has significantly improved its chances of securing a spot at the IEM Cologne Major in June.

February’s VRS decides which teams receive invites to BLAST Open Rotterdam, PGL Bucharest, IEM Atlanta, and the CS Asia Championships. The tournament operators have yet to reveal the teams that have accepted an invitation to these events.

After scoring another top-four finish at BLAST Bounty, Team Vitality keeps hold of second place in the standings, while Team Spirit drops down to eighth after losing to Parivision in the BLAST Bounty quarter-finals. Brazilian organisation FURIA remains the top CS2 team in the VRS.

Elsewhere, Ninjas in Pyjamas has fallen out of the top 20 following an early exit from BLAST Bounty’s online closed qualifiers. Another notable move down the order is HEROIC, which has dropped eight places from 17th to 25th.

ESI Ranking System
We’ve created a ranking system to help you quickly know how good each gambling platform is. As gamblers ourselves, we know which factors matter most to you, so we follow a best-in-class methodology to test each one with no stone unturned. Once done, we then rank each platform based on the following tiers:
  • A-Tier High-quality sites that deliver a top experience every time. They boast strong performance, nice features, and reliable support, but are just shy of perfection.
  • B-Tier Solid platforms that are worth a spin. They’re safe, fun, and functional, but may be lacking advanced features or have minor drawbacks.
  • S-Tier Reserved for elite operators only. These go well beyond the norm with lucrative bonuses, rewarding promotions, lightning-fast payouts, and a flawless experience overall.
