UNLOCK THE RARE,
OWN THE GAME

October 2025 was full of events, teams, and winners. Vitality is winning again, Legacy reach two finals in a row, and Aurora grabs first ever trophy. Some players looked more consistent, got MVP awards, and dropped some great stats. These are the best of the best in the previous month, here’s our list of the top 10 CS2 players of October 2025.

How the best CS2 players of October 2025 were determined

To rank the best CS2 players of October, we analyzed their performances at ESL Pro League Season 22, CS Asia Championships 2025, Thunderpick World Championship 2025, and PGL Masters Bucharest 2025. We focused on:

Player rating
Kills per round (KPR)
Deaths per round (DPR)
Average damage per round (ADR)
MVP and EVP awards
Team results and placement

About Bo3.gg’s rating system

Although we reserve the right to keep the Bo3.gg CS2 player rating formula confidential, we are ready to reveal some key elements.

At the core of the rating system is an advanced player evaluation model consisting of eight sub-ratings that assess statistical data, including damage dealt, number of kills, and survival. These metrics are considered in the context of a specific map, side (T or CT), and team economy. To ensure objectivity, a player's stats are compared to the average values on the professional scene under the same conditions.

Each of the eight sub-ratings has a different level of importance. For example, the kill rating has a greater impact on the final score than the survival rating. Based on the individual sub-ratings, a player’s rating is calculated for each round played, then for the entire map and match.

The final player rating is expressed on a scale from 0 to 10, where 0 is the lowest value and 10 is the highest.
