Gold Nova 2 CS2 (CSGO) Rank | All you need to know

Is Gold Nova II good?

It's safe to say that the Gold Nova II is just average, it contains about 59.31% of all players. You already know the absolute basics of the game; you've won some matches, you shot a couple of headshots, but it's not “it” yet. If you are a casual gamer — congratulations, great rank. 

However, if you want to win tournaments, you and your team have a lot of work ahead of you. It is also the second most common rank in Counter-Strike: Global Offensive, as about 8.79% of all players have it.

Ways to improve from Gold Nova II

Play in a pre-made squad

You will never achieve the same quality of teamwork and communication with random players as with a pre-made squad. Get 4 other friends together and play!

Use your microphone to give good quality info.

Info is an absolute must when it comes to the game. With Gold Nova II, you should know the names of all the popular places on the map, as well as CS2 (CSGO) slang, so use that when appropriate.

Try the FFA Deathmatch servers.

Go play some FFA Deathmatch where you kill literally everything that moves (or get killed yourself). Training on such a dynamic pitch can significantly improve your reaction time and overall aim.
