It's all about the W's, folks. Win games and you'll climb. Lose too many, and it's a slide down the ranks. Keep in mind, it's not just about frags; support roles matter too.

CS:GO ranks you based on a combination of your overall performance and your team's wins and losses. The exact mechanics are a bit of a secret, but it's clear that winning matches improves your rank, and playing well in those matches (think MVPs, kills, bomb plants/defuses) can boost you even more. You start with placement matches to determine your initial rank, and from there, each match can move you up or down.

Honestly, it's kinda like dark magic. You win some, you lose some, and somehow the game decides where you belong. But really, focus on winning matches and improving your skills; that's the best way to rank up.
