Squeakers are not part of CS:GO.
Today I decided to voice my concerns on this forum about a problem affecting CS:GO players. Squeakers, you might think I’m here to complain about squeakers being seen as a bad thing or something to avoid, but the truth is I’m speaking for all players worldwide who enjoy this game. CS:GO offers a competitive scene where skill determines progression, and it’s rewarding to work with a solid team. However, expectations are high—even for those just starting out. What bothers me is how people judge based on age or mistakes, often targeting newcomers like myself. I’m currently in Silver Elite Master, which is great, but I keep getting eliminated for trivial reasons: buying a revolver and kicking, purchasing a Zeus and kicking, or failing to clutch during a callout. Even though I try to play fair and give my best, I’m still facing penalties. Most of my teammates are understanding, but I wish more people respected the effort it takes to succeed. I’m determined to stay in the game, but the reality is that getting kicked regularly makes it hard to climb higher. Do I really have to stop using my mic, or should I just accept this part of the experience?
It's definitely an issue. The best approach would be to include friendly players who are good in matches and keep looking for more. It might take some time, but eventually you'll have enough people to join a group of 2 or 3 skilled players at once. I'm open to playing a game whenever you're ready.
I don’t mind the squawks, but it’s probably because I only play CSGO with a few friends and tend to be heavily drunk on Fridays. That makes me more of a problem in the team than someone who’s young. When we bring in younger players, it usually isn’t an issue, but they add extra humor to the chaos of CSGO. Unless you’re not really under the influence or you’ve got your head in the game, there’s always the mute option.
