Getting good at CS:GO isn't about the hours, it's about how you use them! You gotta dive into practice maps, learn those smokes and flashes, and watch pro matches to understand strategy. For some, hitting a decent level can take a few months, but reaching a 'good' level often takes years of consistent play and improvement. Remember, 'good' is super subjective!

2 weeks if u play non-stop and don't sleep. Jk, probably a solid year to get genuinely good if you're starting from scratch. Improving in CS:GO is a marathon, not a sprint.

Depends on what you mean by 'good.' To not embarrass yourself? A couple of months. To actually impress? Probably closer to a year or more. CS:GO has a steep learning curve, but that's part of the fun.

Honestly, it depends. I've seen people grind for thousands of hours and still be average, and some prodigies reach Global Elite in under 1000. It really boils down to how quickly you learn and adapt. There's no one-size-fits-all answer here.

Instantly, if you consider having fun with friends being 'good.' But if you're talking about ranking up and dominating competitive matches, buckle up for a long ride. It's a journey of constant learning and adaptation.
