So, you want to start playing CSGO competitively, but you have no idea where to start. First off, thanks to Valves newly implemented rank system, you now have to reach at least level 3 in order to gain access to the Community Competitive Matchmaking system. If you have yet to reach level 3, your best bet is to buckle up and grind your way by playing Valve Deathmatches and other various casual game modes. Try to focus most of your time on deathmatches because they will greatly help with your aim and out of all of the casual game types, this is the one skill that you can build up that will help you down the line.
Once you are able to play Competitive Matchmaking, I would recommend playing a game or two to help you understand the basic premise of the game. Fair warning though, be prepared to be talked down to and made fun of for your lack of skill and game sense. While it wont always happen, that is unfortunately how this community is at times. Power through it, it'll will be worth it in the end, trust me.
After playing a few games of Matchmaking, begin to learn the most popular competitve maps. These maps include:
- Cache
- Cobblestone
- Dust II
- Inferno
- Mirage
- Nuke
- Overpass
- Train
Learn them well because game sense and map position are two of the most important factors when it comes to playing at a competitive level. After you do all of the above, be sure to check back for more ways to help you get a jump start in competitive play.
