Except, the non-ranked match-making in CS:GO, there are also rankings. There, players compete to get to the top. To receive his first rank each player must pass the calibration process. Сalibration is a special selection system developed by Valve to give each player their rank, according to their abilities. In other words, for example, if an experienced player who has actively played CS 1.6 starts playing CS:GO, then it is no surprise that his in-game skill will most likely be higher than the vast mass of other players, and there is no point make him play with less experienced players. That is why, if a person shows great performance from the start, the system can immediately give him a high rank. But does CS:GO ranking works properly?
The maximum possible rank received after calibration is Legendary Eagle. Calibration is carried out exclusively in ranked games. To get a rank that matches your skill, you will need to play 10 games. Try to win as many matches as you can. With each won match, you will play with more and more skilled players, corresponding to your rank which could jump up or fall down during calibration. If the game is lost, then the opponent’s rank will become lower, and in the same way, your assignment will decrease accordingly.
