CS2 Placement Boosting: Your Premier Rating Starts Here
In Premier, Valve does not show a CS Rating until your placement wins are done - the rating those matches produce is the one you climb from. A CS2 placement boost has those matches played for you, or with you in the team.
This is Valve matchmaking, not FACEIT. For FACEIT placements, see the FACEIT placement boost.
How the Order Is Priced
Placements are sold by the match at one flat price. You choose how many matches to order and your last known rating color - Grey, Light Blue, Blue, Purple, Pink, Red or Yellow - so the booster knows what lobbies to expect.
What Is and Is Not Promised
Every match you order is played, by hand, to win. A particular CS Rating is not promised: Valve sets it from the results of those games, so the outcome depends on the matches themselves.

Premier Rating Colours
Premier shows a CS Rating once you have won ten matches in the season. The colour of the number tells you its band, and it is the colour you give us when you order.

Matches Ordered and Wins Needed
Premier shows a rating after ten wins, and placements are ordered by the match. If the matches you order finish before the tenth win, the rating stays hidden until you win the rest yourself - so order enough matches to cover the wins your account still needs.
