From the top of DMG I’ve now dropped to MG1… it’s just become unavoidable. I won my previous match, then fell in this one while being the top performer alone, guiding us from 0 to 14 wins. The lowest player kept sitting idle AFK like T, and my team struggled to stop him—only one would press F2 each time. Despite outplaying my own rank, I’m slipping lower in Elo. Plus, I end up facing players with very low skill on my side.
Regardless of opinions: you're in the right place. If you're better than your position, you'll reach it soon.
Also a suggestion because you noticed my earlier comment... lead. Don’t just send simple messages; subtle ones work better. Support your teammates by making smart calls, especially when you have info they don’t. Offer advice without being too pushy—just be honest about not being perfect, and they’ll understand.
I don't play CS:GO anymore. It was because of some team experiences that changed over time. Eventually, people left one by one for different reasons, and I often got stuck with players who weren't even able to play well. That made it hard for me to stay engaged. At first I missed it, but now I don’t. I enjoy single-player games much more and get really absorbed in the story.
Steam believes you're from Russia, and it can't be wrong. Congratulations, you're now Russian and have no reason to grumble since you're being matched with others from the same country—your ping is stronger. Keep going in Comrade Stalin's name, and you'll achieve victory!
