Honestly, just get Prime. Non-Prime matchmaking feels like the Wild West of CS:GO - hackers, smurfs, you name it. But if you're set on not getting Prime, prepare for a roller coaster and maybe work on sharpening those skills against unpredictable opponents.

Playing ranked CS:GO without Prime is totally doable, but expect a bit of a mixed bag experience. You just need a regular, free Steam account with CS:GO installed. Once in the game, you can jump straight into ranked matches. However, without Prime status, you might run into more smurfs and hackers, which can be frustrating. It's all about weighing whether you wanna jump into Prime later on for a smoother ride.

You can play, but why would you want to? Prime cuts down on so many headaches. IMHO, save yourself the stress.
