The CS2 Ranking System Explained
The top-level Counter-Strike players love climbing up the ranked ladder and trying to get as high as possible. Starting from the bottom of SIlver and making your way through Gold Nova, Master Guardian and further is a long and tedious, yet rewarding journey. Counter-Strike 2 and its predecessor, Counter-Striker: Global Offensive, use ranking systems as a way of showing a player’s skill level.

How To Get A Rank On CS:GO
One thing that is important to mention is that you cant get a CSGO rank without unlocking compettive mode. To get into competetive mode you need to grind until yoir account is Level 2 while you have Prime Status unlocked. To do this you just need to play te more calm modes like casual or deatmmatch. These are great modes as they help new players get better and develop their key skills before they make the step up to competetive play. After you have hit level 2 you need to win ten ranked matches to be given your rank. While you are in the process of winning these games you will be unranked.
After you play these games, you will be placed in a starter rank which is usuallyon the lower side of the ranking system. However, if you have previous expereicne on Counter-Strike, your ranking may be different and a little higher.
