Grats! Get dat AK. :D

It's a good feeling going from Nova to AK for the first time. Going from AK to DMG feels even better. Then once you get Eagle you feel good but at that point you're tired of MMing and want to strangle porkRaven.

I haven't played in several months and see now that I have to be "rank 3" to play competitive games. Before I took a break, I was ranked Master Guardian II. Does anyone else agree that it's insane that I have to play like 30 casual games before I'm allowed to play competitive again?! Is there a way I can get "grandfathered" into being able to play comp again?

I typically only enjoy the game when I can play comp with friends.. so this is a pretty crappy user experience on Valve's part and seems like an oversight in the whole rank 3 requirement for comp.

been on GN4 for 3 weeks now after the consecutive 3 ranks up 3 weeks ago. I ranked up from GN1 to GN4 on just one weekend. Then...2 close games. my pc crashed and was unable to rejoin (we lost) me and my friends always rank up/down at the same time, so they hated me, we could have probably been AK now ;_;

Supreme master first a$$, I'll get globo whenever I stop being lazy about it. ESEA is the way to go.

...Global Elite! Guess it is time to stop playing now, especially after I checked my scorecard:

Either that, or I just focus on making 2kills max per round, until I got another 103 kills ;-)

Got supreme on my smurf too.. However can't seem to get to global on my main, despite having only wins aside from one loss and two ties in my recent history x_x The skill discrepancies between players of the same rank is appalling, playing in supreme somtimes feels like playing in gold nova..

Ever since the aimjunkies ban, the match making ranks have seemed so skewed an unbalanced.

There are novas playing in cevo and esea that are legitimately better than half the LEs I come across when I am smurfing, so many of whom still can't use sound or the radar properly (let alone have decent game sense whatsoever)

Higher up the rank tree it's even worse. My fellow supremes are generally terrible players for their rank. SMFC/GE used to be your 15+ efficacy/12+ rws players... now everyone I come across brags about playing ESEA and then links me to a 7 RWS profile...

I just want to get back into GE and never play MM again.

Yea thats what I've been doing. I hit GE then did nothing but faceit.
The thing is, it takes a long time to get that faceit rank thing up. Sometimes I do a MM game to keep my rank and thats about it.

Hit AK for the first time today, I was playing with a friend who is just transitioning over from 1.6 and he hasn't even finished his placement matches but we used to play together 10 years ago (and are very good friends IRL as well), he doesn't give a shit about skins, ranks, the proscene, reddit, never watches twitch, the guy is basically playing CS like it was 2003. And I think his "living under a rock" mentality enabled me to really enjoy the game for what it is: playing to the best of our ability and having fun, maybe a bit of friendly banter with strangers and yo mama jokes. (just to clarify, neither of us have played CS for the past 10 years continuously, would a mild disgrace if we were around MG level :S )

God damnit, my buddy got promoted before I did AGAIN! Happy for him. I guess playing 2 games a week on MM is not conducive to geting global elite but I'm probably 1-2 games away from it D:

Cuts down on smurfs, active players had time to get rank 3 before they put in the ranked restriction
