Sometimes it's just bad luck, but other times, it could be your internet connection acting up. A quick router restart might just do the trick and reduce those matchmaking times. Worked for me more than once!

Matchmaking times in CS:GO can feel like an eternity, but usually, it's just a few factors at play. High rank or less popular game modes can lead to longer wait times because there are fewer players in that pool. Your geographical location also matters; if you're playing at off-peak hours in your region, it's gonna take a bit longer to find a match. Lastly, make sure your game settings aren’t too restrictive on ping or map preferences, as that can also increase wait times.

Too picky with maps, are we? Try broadening your horizons by selecting more maps. More maps, quicker matches!

Honestly, CS:GO matchmaking times vary a lot. Sometimes it's super quick, other times it's a coffee break. Just part of the game, I guess.
