Liquipedia unveils its own team ranking: Team Spirit only in 4th place

The Liquipedia platform has launched its own ranking system to evaluate the strength of professional Dota 2 teams. The new algorithm takes into account both individual player statistics and team-wide metrics, including overall form and the importance of tournaments. Despite being two-time world champions, Team Spirit placed only 4th in the initial rankings.

The system automatically generates a final score by analyzing performances at Tier-1 and Tier-2 tournaments starting from The International 2024. The evaluation is based on two categories:

Individual metrics:

• Gold and experience per minute (GPM/XPM)

• Average KDA

• Positional choices in teamfights

• Warding efficiency

Team metrics:

• Wins and losses

• Roster stability

• Player synergy

• Teamfight coordination

• Hero pool diversity

• Tournament significance

According to the developers, special attention is given to in-game synergy between players. Even with strong individual stats, a team with poor internal coordination will receive a lower overall score.
