It's special to me because ever since I got placed in Silver Elite Master after my placement matches DMG was the rank I'd set for myself as a long-term goal. It's much easier nowadays with more VAC ban waves than it used to be but it's still the rank I always wanted to achieve and now it finally happened! Feels very good!

Well I ranked up my second account to global too. Some people are still terrible. It's really weird, I don't feel like people have gotten better since like LE. There still are people with no sound, no game sense, no mic, or horse shit aim, and on the other hand some guys are really good. I guess a lot of dudes got there boosted or cheating, like this guy that was on my team the other day, didn't even finish with a positive score but got vac'd haha.
Also the rank icon is ugly as hell. SMFC is so much nicer

Sorry for double posting but I just reached Gold Nova Master. After just one day! I've really been on fire lately. I guess all my hours spent practicing my AWP aim is paying off!

This ranking system is nuts. I went from ranking up to MG to MG2 in 3 wins, then after going 5-2, back down to MG, then back to MG2 after 3 games going 2-1.

MY HEAD HURTS.

That's what happens when you have 18 ranks -_-

Baahh.... Played really well for a time with wins where we either demolished the other team or I carried, finally hit DMG felt good about it.
Immediately after I get a streak where I cant land kills (finish most games with single digits), people are not communicating, raging etc... and get demoted.. bleeeeeeehhhhh

Started off by playing with friends on european servers a month ago, got ranked at GN3. after I stopped playing with them and played on NA servers, in 2 weeks i got first promoted to MG1 and just now to MG2.
This second promotion is weird, i feel like i've been playing shit the past few days, always mid/low in kills/score in the team.

A wonderfull 1v5 clutch was the perfect highlight for my rank up to eagle. Coming from Silver and no skill in the beginning of this year, I feel pretty good.

Well in my opinion it balances out.

I started the game innnn like July ? And I play 10 odd hours a week [ spoiler]I have played 1.6[/spoiler] and my main is DMG within 50 or so wins and I havent lost yet a game at DMG which is about 5 or 6. Part of that has been fortunate enough to get decent teams that do well enough if I get them entries or hold sites well enough over the course of a game.

Funnily enough I started playing on my friends account to play with his little brother who is about GN4 + Show Spoiler +

l(Double AK level aim stupid as fuck )

and the account hit DMG in like 20 odd wins. Its appears to be very streaky.

Btw the kids account is now MG2 and he pretty much bottom frags most of the games.

That made me realize the problem with wanting to play MM with your friends and why unranked MM is so important when people talk about it.

Makro: it's not nonsense. It's actually not based on topfragging or not. Most likely on MVP starts. And you still win points if you win a game (most of the time, how many depends on the rounds difference), so, those games you performed well might have contributed a lot towards your next rank, and the other three were just enough to actually go over the threshold and get promoted.

Epoxide: gratz'
