Unlocking competitive mode in CS:GO is pretty straightforward, but it requires a bit of time. First off, you need to reach Private Rank 2 by playing in the various game modes like Deathmatch, Arms Race, or Casual. This helps you get a grasp on the basics before jumping into the competitive deep end. Once you hit Rank 2, competitive mode unlocks, and you can start climbing the ranks!

Hot take, but getting to Rank 2 for comp play isn't that big of a deal. Just grind a few casual matches, and you're set. Honestly, it's more about getting used to the game's dynamics than anything. Just play and have fun!

From personal experience, hitting Rank 2 took me a couple of days of casual gameplay. It's not just about unlocking competitive; it's about getting ready for it. Each casual match gives you a bit of XP towards your rank, and it’s a good way to learn maps and gameplay mechanics. Stick with it, and you'll be in comp matches before you know it.
