Counter-Strike 2 News

We know it's all too easy to blame the game itself when something isn't quite going your way, but if you're struggling to win in Counter-Strike Global Offensive, you might find that it actually is the game that's part of the reason behind that. Valve doesn't update CSGO all too often and when it does the community always finds out there's more than one major issue unresolved. Of course, it's hard to fix a game with so many moving parts, but it looks like pro player Oleksandr 's1mple' Kostyliev has had enough of waiting around to see his beloved shooter fixed. S1mple has put the developers on blast with claims that he could fix CSGO with a "few millions".

Following a CSGO update that temporarily stripped players of their ranks in-game, S1mple took to Twitter to share his thoughts on the current state of the game - and it's safe to say that he is less than happy with how things are going.

To summarise, s1mple has stated that with a "few millions", he would be able to improve Valve's shooter, "not only professionally, but also for players who rarely log in [to CSGO] and want to enjoy the game". In his social media post on the matter, he reiterated that he was "not kidding" - adding that he would be able to improve player numbers at the very least.

CS:GO patch notes: what's new in the latest update?

If you've not been keeping a close eye on the Counter Strike: Global Offensive blog, then you might be confused as to the whereabouts of your in-game rank. In the latest update, the CS:GO ranks have just been recalibrated and while it might look like Valve has just reset everyone's skill group, don't panic, because that's not the case.

The CS:GO ranks recalibration update has just come after what appears to be the biggest ban wave in the game's history, with Valve attempting to make the competitive FPS game that little bit more competitive again. "Typically when we ship changes to CS:GO's ranking system, the adjustments are small enough that we don't include them in our patch notes," Valve says in the blog. "However, today's update affects all CS:GO players so it requires some explanation."

Now, all players looking to get back on the competitive grind in any of the game's core modes (Competitive, Wingman, and Danger Zone) will need to play and win one game to recalibrate their ranks. Once the win has been registered, your MMR will be calculated and you'll be placed back into one of the many skill groups in the game.
