Shorter CS2 ranked matches might be a great idea, according to data from CS:GO

There’s an ongoing debate in the Counter-Strike community regarding the duration of competitive matches. Some people prefer the way CS:GO currently works—30 rounds maximum—while other players see the positives in a potential change to 24 rounds maximum. And there’s one statistic to back this up.

Numbers from Valve’s official ranked matchmaking for CS:GO show that 40 percent of the competitive games between January and July 2023 were played in what’s called Short mode, which has 16 rounds maximum and one team must score nine rounds to win the game. These numbers were gathered by the dedicated third-party website csgostats.gg.
