64 tick basically means the server updates 64 times a second. More updates = smoother gameplay, but CS:GO's standard is 64 tick, which is pretty decent for most players.

In CS:GO, '64 tick' refers to the server update rate. Imagine it like this: the server refreshes itself 64 times a second to register what's happening in the game. So, when you're playing on a 64 tick server, your moves and shots get updated 64 times per second. It's like the game's heartbeat, the higher the tick rate, the smoother the game feels. But remember, 64 tick is just one option; there's also 128 tick servers which are even smoother!

Honestly, 64 tick is just Valve being cheap. Any serious player will tell you 128 tick servers are where it's at for smoother shots and gameplay.
