In CS, a good rank is typically considered to be 1000 or higher, often referred to as an "A" or "A+" grade.

Sure, once you get through Master Guardian on your own (without pre-made games), you're definitely a solid player and patient too, right? But in any rank there are trolls and smurfs, making it tough to tell who's who. After Gold Nova, people should know what they're doing.
Two perspectives exist: waiting in line for Nova Master or joining the DMG queue with friends for LE and higher.
Typically, many view ranks like MGE as modest, but I believe every rank starting from GN2 holds value. I'm a Silver Elite Master myself.
I’d likely mention DMG and higher, though it’s a broad category. The gap between MGE and lower levels is quite large, leading to a lot of inconsistent players in DMG ranks. It might be better to say Legendary Eagle. Honestly, the typical rank seems around Nova 3-4, so those top tiers don’t reflect strong performance. I saw some demos from my early days, and they were really awkward.
In CSGO, the equivalent rank would be around 0.01% of total players, which is roughly 200 players out of millions.
Honestly, the old global elite mostly stick to ESEA, FaceIt or CEVO for their alternative MM play because those are the spots where the real serious 0.01% players hang out.
I noticed your data was limited to EUW players. Worldwide: 10.5 million in ranked play, which equals about 12,500 players. Very close!
