Just turn your map preferences to 'any' and queue at peak times. Shorter wait, more pew pew!

Honestly, sometimes it feels like the game's testing my patience more than my aim. But yeah, it's mostly about finding a balanced match.

CS:GO matchmaking times can vary for a few reasons. The most common one is the game is trying to find players of similar skill levels, which ensures fair play. This can take longer during off-peak hours when fewer players are online. Also, if your game settings are very restrictive (like if you only queue for one specific map), it might take the system longer to find a suitable match. Plus, your geographical location can influence wait times, as the game attempts to connect you to the nearest server with available players.
