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

Is Silver II good?

Silver II is a rank that is commonly given to players who haven't had much experience with any previous version of Counter-Strike or other FPS games before. Most players who end up in Silver II started playing ranked games without much knowledge of the game, which caused them to lose all of their placement matches. To summarize, with a Silver II rank, you are only in the top 96% of all players.

Ways to improve from Silver II

Play different maps

Knowing the map you're playing on is essential for CS2 (CSGO). Without this, it will be difficult to have stable communication within your team.

Watch live streams

Watching the live streams will help you get into the CS2 (CSGO) world. Watching someone else play can give you a whole new perspective on the gameplay and be an excellent form of education.

Aim for the head

Most low-ranked players have their crosshair set on their opponent's legs — and that's not the point. Pay more attention to how high you aim.
