Ranking Up!

This group is dedicated for members of the Counter-Strike: Global Offensive community who are a low rank, and are trying to get higher in the ranking system. This group was primarily made so people can work together, train together, so each and everyone of the members can accomplish their goals wether it be getting out of silver, or reach Global Elite, or even getting Master Guardian.


[FALSE] It's impossible to get out of Silver if you solo-queue, just go and find a good team.

It's actually quite possible, you don't need a 5-man pre-made just to get out of Silvers. Sure, you may end up in a really bad team from time to time but you should keep in mind if you "always end up with bad teammates", chances are, you're actually the bad teammate yourself.

Top-fragging and getting the most kills means nothing in CSGO, this isn't Quake Live. There's a reason we have objectives. You need to get the "right" kills not the "most" kills to win the game. Just because you can rush the site with P90 and get 2 kills each round while the rest of your teammates just die (and you eventually lose the game) doesn't mean you're good, it means you lack teamwork and you deserved the loss.

[MISUNDERSTOOD] If you get placed in Silver, you get stuck in Silver Hell and ranking up will take forever to happen.

Well, this is not completely false but this fact is quite misunderstood among Silver players. It's very logical if you think about it the right way. Let's say you're really bad at football, and your friend is quite good and always beats you. You both want to get into a professional team, can you both make it with the same amount of practice/effort? The answer, obviously, is no. You need a lot more practice than your friend.

The same logic applies to CSGO, while you may not rank-up quickly, you will get out of Silver eventually if you're truly good. Getting from SEM to GN1 takes a lot more effort than getting to MG1 from GNM because you need a lot more practice than someone who's Gold Nova.

Rank-up from Silver is just slower than other Skill Groups, nothing more. Silver Hell is something that only exists in your mind, it's your mental prison.
