Ah, the classic 'can't connect to matchmaking servers' saga. So, here's the deal: first, check your internet connection because, as obvious as it sounds, it's often overlooked. Next up, give your router a good ol' restart - yes, the classic turn it off and on again. If those don't cut it, verify the integrity of your game files on Steam. Right click CS:GO in your Steam library, go to properties, then local files, and hit 'verify integrity of game files.' Last resort, make sure your firewall or antivirus isn't blocking CS:GO because they can get jealous of your awesome headshots.

Steam is down? Just wait. Sometimes it's them, not you.

CS:GO matchmaking can be a bit finicky. Make sure your game is up to date. CS2 dropped and there have been a bunch of updates. Falling behind can make connecting to servers a nightmare. Always stay updated!
