In CS:GO, matchmaking is basically the game's way of pairing you up with other players that have a similar skill level as you. When you play competitive modes, the game calculates your skill based on your performance in matches, and this skill rating - often called a 'rank' - is used to find you opponents and teammates. It's all about keeping the game fair and fun, ensuring you're not thrown into a match with players way out of your league (both above and below your skill level). Plus, the more you play and win, the better your chances of ranking up, so keep those reflexes sharp!

Matchmaking in CS:GO? Pure RNG, mate. Just kidding! But seriously, it uses a ranking system based on your performance. Win more, and you'll climb the ranks. It tries to match you with players of similar skill, but sometimes it feels like it's just rolling dice.

idk, sometimes feels like matchmaking just throws whoever together regardless of rank. but yeah, it's supposed to be about skill level.
