In CS:GO, you can team up with friends who are within 5 ranks of your own for competitive matchmaking. This ensures that games are balanced and fair, so you're not getting stomped by Global Elites when you're just starting your journey in Silver. However, if you've got a full squad of 5 players, you can bypass this limitation and queue up together, no matter the rank difference. This way, you can enjoy the game with your friends, regardless of skill level!

Just grab 4 friends and you can ignore the rank difference. EZ game, EZ life.

Honestly, the 5 rank difference rule is more of a guideline than an actual enforced rule. I've seen wider gaps when playing late at night. It's all about having a good time anyway!
