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

Is Silver Elite Master good?

Being a Silver Elite Master also means being in about the top 75% of all CS2 (CSGO) players. That means, if you were placed in a room with 100 other players, you'd probably be able to beat about 25 of them. The rank of Silver Elite Master should guarantee a player's knowledge of the rules of the game, but one who makes some mistakes that prevent them from reaching Gold Nova.

Ways to improve from Silver Elite Master

You are only a few minor mistakes away from Gold Nova. Eliminate them, and say goodbye to the “Silver division” forever.

Remind yourself of the basics.

If you're a Silver Elite Master, then you've got the basics down, but don't you sometimes find yourself shooting on the run or holding a crosshair on the ground? Make sure you don't make silly mistakes that cost you rounds.

Play with Gold Nova 1/Gold Nova 2 players.

If you have friends who have successfully achieved Gold Nova rank, play with them. You probably don't differ much in the level of play, and playing with slightly higher ranks may speed up the process of your exit from the Silver division.
