As the title implies, this thread is to share your stories of ranking up (and deranking) in competitive MM. No elitism, all ranks accepted, just remember that we all get what we deserve in the end ;-)

As for me, I got unranked for the first time from DMG to double AK (previous times were for inactivity), while attempting this "win 2 maps on nuke" mission..... First map win was a breeze, but the next four tries were........ Somehow we always got 3people unable to fetch more than 5kills during the whole CT side -.- that was unexpected. Losing around 12-3/11-4 as ct... Wow...
It's even more frustrating that it was a good day for me and i consistently topfragged all 4 games...

Tonight i'll get that win whatever it takes, so see you in gold nova tomorrow xD

Still badge. Story of my life (Either i win games like i was doing this morning, or i play wallers)

Then again, I really don't care much for ranks (for me, it's about about how good you are in league play)

Id like to take a moment to acknowledge all the faceless players out there who have ranked up from losses or ties. I dont care what the internet says; it's possible.

I guess you can always rank up with a loss if you played cheaters before, they get VACed and the game results are reverted.

As far as ties are concerned: I've seen on Incontrol's recent streams that ties also count towards the 2-wins a day limit on new accounts so it's very likely that ties are counted as wins for both teams internally.

I've bounced from DMG to Eagle 3 times. Currently Eagle and this time I plan to stay there, and hopefully to LEM.

if i looked at my own progress in terms of MM ranks i'd probably feel like i have been stagnating for a long time now but i know i have improved a lot

i was supreme first time at around 80 wins, global for the first time at around 200 wins, and ever since it's just been bouncing between supreme and global and right now at almost 400 wins i am at supreme

i think people who want to play seriously should put their main focus on 3rd party PUG services (mainly faceit or ESEA) once they have reached LEM, although you can of course give them a try even if you are lower ranked

Similar for me, started GN2, ranked to MG2, to GN1, to MG1... I learned not to care about ranks.

Haha Split Behemoth, we played in sc2, a long time ago in a galaxy far far away

The cs matchmaking has too many ranks in my opinion its ridiculous. I gain/lose a rank almost daily between nova 4 and MGE for the last 2 years...

I seem to only rank up when i don't do well compared to other games, e.g. I'll go 39-19 in a game and then I'll go even, but rank up from the even game

Valve never explained their system, but as far as we can tell, your performance in game is weighted a lot less than the actual result of the game. It is especially important to have winstreaks if you want to rank up (losing streak for the inverse).

I personnally went up to LEM from DMG on a lucky 16-win winstreak when the new maps for operation breakout were released and nobody knew them. I eventually ranked down but managed to reach eagle two more time.
I went as far down as MG2 tho when I had really unlucky losing streaks (playing against cheaters / with leavers and flamers). And now im back in DMG as usual.

Ranking up is done by comparing skill with the people you're playing.
So bashing on a team of silvers will get you ranked up far slower than going even or so against a higher ranked team

Can confirm that ranking up while loosing is possible. Had it once. But i was playing with better guys (i was like gold nova 3 and everyone else was MGE or MG2).

Ranking up while having a tie also happened at least twice to me. In these I was on the same level as my teammates.

After all (1,2k hours) I dont give a damn about ranking up and down. I know my faults and what i am able to do, where my strenghs lie etc. I once dropped from MGE to gold nova 2 cause I changed my mousesensivity. That was crazy hard for me, but the new sensitivity was way better for me after all. I can aim a lot better nowadays even though its my weakspot.

btw the rank up in a loss didnt happen during the time i changed my mousesense. it was way before.

in my experience in the AK ranks you rank up with 3+ straight wins with normal stats or rank down after 3 concussive losses. (also DMG. freaking DMG - always when im DMG i loose 3 in a row -.-)

Ranked to Supreme for the 3rd time in 4 days. First and second games on Supreme ended up playing vs the same stack with a booster that toggles mid game and goes from the lowest score to the 'carry' which wins their game. I'm sad.

And for everyone that ends up ranking while losing, Vitaly explained that 'ranking up' is delayed. So when you ranked up after a loss, you actually ranked up before that loss but it takes a game for the rank to apply.
The world is against me. It wouldn't be fair otherwise.

Ranking up when you have lost is possible. I always assume that it is either lag in the system or just that they have deleted a game where a hacker was found which pushed the "ELO" up enough.

I started with DMG and now I'm gold nova 2. Walled, Aimbotted, and TK'd to death. Now I'm clawing my way back to DMG. Crazy that people still cheat in novas, for whatever reason.
