It's all about the wins, but not just any wins. You gotta show you're the MVP. Carry hard enough, and you'll see your rank go up. Lose too much, though, and down you go.

Oh, the mystical CS:GO ranking system, a source of both pride and despair! It's actually based on your win/loss ratio in ranked matches, but there's a twist – your individual performance also plays a big role. So, you can't just coast on your team's success; you gotta show some personal skill too. Another key point is that the system uses something called a modified Glicko-2 rating method, which is basically a fancy way of saying it's constantly evaluating your skills to match you with and against players of similar abilities. The more you play (and hopefully win), the more accurately it can place you. So, bottom line: play well, win games, and your rank will climb!

Honestly, it feels like a roll of the dice sometimes. I swear I play like a pro one day and my rank doesn't budge. Then, I have a couple of off games, and suddenly I'm demoted. Still, focusing on improving your skills is a solid bet for moving up.
