CS:GO's competitive ranking system matches you with players of similar skill. Initially, you'll need to win 10 placement matches, but not more than 2 per day, to get your first rank. Your performance, including wins, individual scores, and MVPs, influences your rank. It's a bit of a mystery formula, but bottom line: play well, win matches, and you'll rank up. If you start slacking, expect to see your rank go down.

A friend told me the secret to ranking up is not just about winning, but also being the MVP as much as possible. Good luck!

Ranking in CS:GO is totally rigged. Sometimes it feels like no matter how hard you carry your team, you just don't rank up. But then again, maybe it's just me.

Basically, win games and play good to rank up. Lose too much, and you're gonna see that rank drop. No rocket science there!
