Valve впоследствии исправила сентябрьский рейтинг, удалив из расчетов события, которые не были завершены к установленному сроку. Первоначальная версия документа ошибочно включала данные за 8 сентября, что привело к несоответствиям в очках команд.
Согласно источнику cs2news.com, Spirit сохраняют лидирующую позицию в глобальном списке с 2031 очком. В пятерку лидеров также вошли MOUZ, Falcons, FUT и Vitality.
