Getting into the CS:GO competitive scene starts with mastering the basics. Play a lot, like, A LOT. Understand the maps, learn the spray patterns, and get comfy with the economy system. Start by playing casual to get a feel, then move onto ranked matches to improve your skills and rank. Watching pro matches can also give you a ton of insights into strategies and playstyles. Lastly, don't be afraid to join communities or forums; they can be super helpful for finding teams to join or scrim with.

Honestly, just play the game. You get better by playing, especially against players who are better than you. Ranked matches will be your best friend. Also, communication is key in CS:GO. Make sure you've got a good mic and aren't afraid to use it!

Find a team ASAP. Solo queuing can teach you a lot, but CS:GO is a team game. With a squad, you can enter tournaments, even small local ones, to get a taste of the competitive scene. And yeah, watch those pro streams; it's like a free lesson in high-level play.
