AWWWWWWWWWW YEAH.

I did some sick PUG IGL'ing on the T side to asist us to victory. :D

Reaching DMG in under a year after starting to play comp CS was a goal of mine I set a few months back and it's awesome to finally do it (I started in late July in S3.).

Did the ranking system get improved and now takes your points/KD into account?

I got promoted into supreme after a horrible streak of lose/draw every game where purely my team was to blame for. I was always doing very well, carryed hard on T and doing (given the circumstnces) pretty well, only to get crushed on CT then since my enemys where unable to hold any goddmand site, all game everygame. 4 Guys stacking A? Site still collapsed without one T dead. It left me witth an impressive K/D but I got really depressed by losing so many games, most of them even pretty close, with having over 30 frags more than the second best on my team, having silent mates, guys buying scout+armor every eco( hate this trend...) without doing much etc.
Then, after another heartbreaking draw I got promoted to supreme. Propably the single best moment in GO I had so far. Never before I felt sadness, anger, joy and confusion in such a rapid succession.
My thoughts where like:
Fuck, another draw... we should have won this goddamnit. (sadness)
At least I played well... (kind of satifaction)
If only they did to! (anger)
Pleae no derank... (hope)
*you where promoted to...* (hope lost incoming)
Goddamnit I knew I am ging to get dera... You what?! (suprise)
What the fuck?! (confusion. thi actually lasted quite a while. I was sitting their shaking my head for a few minutes for sure)
Fuck yeah!!!! (pure joy and still confusion)
*close go instantly*

It happened last evening and I am still pumped, such an rollercoaster :D

I think it always did to some extend.
But we will never know how it truly works.
One of the great mysteries of our time.
National Geographic should do a documentary on that: "Quantum mechanis and CS:GO's elo system. Great riddles of our world."

I would really apreciate that! A few month ago, I did lose quite a few ranks with exact the same story, just minus the promotion xD...

Whoo!!! It felt like it was obviously going to happen if I kept playing more matches but I just popped up into DMG while solo que. And wow does the game get so much more enjoyable the higher and higher the rank you go. Teams that use teamwork OP.

Started playing this game again after i fixed an issue i had previousely. Started playing ranked a few days ago. Havent gotten my first 10 wins yet but i'm getting there. Not sure what skill level im at though. Gold players feel rather skilled compared to me but i feel silver elite players are too easy.......

I hit GN3 last night after initially calibrating at GN1 about...maybe 6 weeks ago? Nice to rank up for sure but it felt somewhat undeserved as I played like ass in both my games last night.

Started playing CS:GO a month ago. GN3 and rising. I solo search and consistently get top in kills, but lose a lot of matches due to horrendous teams. I figure I am probably around AK level realistically. I am ranking up quickly though, I hope to get good at the game, as I am really enjoying it.

GN 3! yay!

I`ve stucked in Silver IV like... forever. But since the recent ban wave i`ve made 5 Ranks +.
I know the ranking mmr is a little disordered, but it feels good non the less

Also i had a sneak peak at GN4 guys... prepare yourselves!
