How does the CS:GO ranking system works?
In reality, no one is aware of it, and it hinges on various elements like top players and your opponent's ranking. It still feels quite unpredictable to me. I had a Silver 1 account, played with a friend against MG, but after a winning streak of 7-8 games, I didn't receive an upgrade.
It relies on the ELO rating framework, allowing you to be rated even after a loss if your performance was weak.
