Team Vitality tops March 2026 CS2 Valve Regional Standings

Team Vitality has topped the Valve Regional Standings (VRS) for March 2026 following its strong start to the Counter-Strike 2 season.

The French esports organisation won IEM Krakow 2026 and PGL Cluj-Napoca 2026 to return to the top of the global standings for the first time since August 2025.

Unveiled on March 2nd, this month’s global Counter-Strike 2 rankings follow PGL Cluj-Napoca, where Team Vitality swept aside BLAST Bounty Season 1 winner Parivision in the Grand Final.

As a result of Team Vitality’s victories in two of 2026’s three Tier 1 tournaments, the organisation has reclaimed the top spot, all but guaranteeing its place at the IEM Cologne Major taking place in June.

March’s VRS determines the invites to the CCT Global Finals, BLAST Rivals 2026 Season 1, and PGL Astana. BLAST, CCT, and PGL haven’t shared which teams have accepted invitations. The standings were also determining the competitors for FISSURE Playground 3 before the tournament organiser announced the cancellation of the event.

After consecutive top-four finishes at IEM Krakow and PGL Cluj-Napoca, MOUZ has returned to the top three, climbing four places. Elsewhere, FaZe Clan has dropped outside of the top ten as a result of early exits from both tournaments.

Other notable movers include GamerLegion, which has climbed five places, and FUT Esports, which has climbed from 19th to 14th following strong showings in its first high-profile events of the year.

The biggest mover into the top 20 is Monte. After winning Copenhagen Gaming Week 2026, the international roster has climbed from 38th place to 18th.

With several Tier 1 and Tier 2 tournaments shaking up the order, March is another month of change within the global standings as teams battle to earn a place at other Tier 1 events and the all-important Major. Below is a list of the current standings and how it differs from February:
