In this article, we will delve into the ranks and levels in CS:GO. Many authors often confuse these concepts, so let’s bring clarity to the matter.
The Ranking System in CS:GO
In English terminology, the Rank or Ranking System is based on the win-loss ratio of a player in official matchmaking, also known as MMR (Matchmaking Rating). As of the time of writing this article, CS:GO offers 18 positions:
- Silver I (S1)
- Silver 2 CSGO (S2)
- Silver III (S3)
- Silver IV (S4)
- Silver Elite (SE)
- Silver Elite Master (SEM)
- Gold Nova I (GN1)
- Gold Nova II (GN2)
- Gold Nova III (GN3)
- Gold Nova Master (GNM)
- Master Guardian I (MG1)
- Master Guardian II (MG2)
- Master Guardian Elite (MGE)
- Distinguished Master Guardian CSGO (DMG)
- Legendary Eagle (LE)
- Legendary Eagle Master (LEM CSGO)
- Supreme Master First Class (SMFC)
- Global Elite CSGO (GE)
Unlike many other games, in CS:GO, a player’s MMR is completely hidden. Generally, your rating increases after a victory and decreases after a loss in a match. However, it also heavily depends on your personal performance in a specific match.
