After the breathtaking performance from FaZe in the ELEAGUE Boston Major 2018, HLTV has named it the world’s best CSGO team in its January 2018 ranking. The all-star European squad had an overwhelming run during the Majors.
In addition, SK Gaming remains strong at the number second spot. Cloud9, even after taking the trophy home, could only take the third spot, compared to the earlier fifth. Noteworthy performance by Quantum Bellator Fire pulled them up in the ranking from 74th spot to 12th in a month.

While the Swedish squads, NiP & fnatic struggle to make any good impact, the former lost four points post-Major. Ninjas were not seen playing any events from past two months, resulting in the drop.
