They all start with the minor patents, right after completing the necessary competitive matches. Then, it’s time to improve your skills and reach higher rankings, a path that can be long and quite complicated, as the challenges become more difficult with each level achieved. This makes a clear difference in the number of players in each rank, from the high number at lower levels to the low number in the elite. In a survey conducted on March 19, 2020, the portal cs-go.stats shows that the largest number of players is located in the Gold hierarchy. We can see that in Ouro II there are 8.81% of CS: GO players, while Ouro III has 8.73%, a very close number. Up to that point, starting with Prata I, the number of players in each rank tends only to grow in each of the divisions. However, in Gold IV, one level before reaching the rank of Guardian Master I, or AK I, it is possible to clearly notice a smaller number of players in each division. While in Prata you can find the youngest players, in Ouro it is where the players who already have a certain skill in FPS are. However, to reach higher levels in CS: GO, it is necessary to have a certain notion of the game’s strategy and goal, such as knowing how to work well with the team’s economy, knowing the maps and the best points to use your grenades. It is at this point that many players end up stagnating their evolution and freeing up space for a smaller number to advance in rank. The higher the rank, the smaller the number of players, as confirmed by the data from cs-go.stats. Therefore, if you have reached ranks between Eagle and Elite, you will be located where the lowest concentration of CS: GO players is, literally the elite of the game. It is possible to highlight the highest level, Elite Global, with only 0.78% of CS: GO players, which shows the difficulty and level of dedication necessary for the player to reach another level.
