Where's your Season 5 medal?
Rule Valve stated for Seasons Two, Three and Four (checked 2026-10-16): 25 Premier wins, an account in good standing and an active CS Rating when the season ends; the colour is the highest CS Rating you reached during the season; one bar per 25 wins, up to 5. Valve hasn't restated it for Season 5. Season 5's end isn't announced — the countdown uses our estimate (2027-01-11), and switches to Valve's date when it's posted.
How the Premier season medal works
Valve hands out a season medal to Premier players who put in a season's work. For Seasons Two to Four the rule was the same three conditions: 25 Premier wins, an account in good standing, and an active CS Rating when the season ends — let your rating go inactive in the last weeks and the wins don't count. The medal's colour isn't your final rating but the highest rating you reached during the season, and every 25 wins adds a bar, up to 5 at 125 wins.
That means two separate goals: the wins (any rating counts) and the season high (one good week is enough — it never goes down). The season medal guide covers the colours, the bar bug Valve fixed on 9 July 2026 and what happens at the season switch.

Common questions
How many wins do you need for the CS2 Premier medal?
25 Premier wins in the season. That was Valve's rule for Seasons Two, Three and Four, together with an account in good standing and an active CS Rating when the season ends. Valve hasn't restated it for Season 5, so 25 is the working number until it does.
What decides the colour of the Premier medal?
Your highest CS Rating during the season, not where you finish: reach Purple once and the medal is Purple even if you end the season in Blue.
What are the bars on the Premier medal?
Under the same rule you get one bar for every 25 wins, up to five, so 125 wins fills the medal. Valve fixed a bug with the medal bars in its 9 July 2026 update.
When does Premier Season 5 end?
Valve hasn't announced it. The last three seasons switched in January and July, so our estimate is around 11 January 2027. The tracker counts down to that estimate and switches to the real date when Valve posts it.
