HOW TO STAY IN THE GLOBAL ELITE?

Even if you have already reached The Global Elite, not playing will just drop you from it; that’s just how the ranking system works in most games when you can’t get a higher rank.

Here are some things you can implement to maintain The Global Elite rank:

PLAY THE MAPS YOU HAVE MASTERED TO PERFECTION

Playing maps where you feel more confident in your game will make your chances of winning much higher.

AVOID SOLO QUEUING

Counter Strike is mostly about team play, and you don’t want to underestimate that. Play with your squad or don’t play at all. And speaking of your squad…

KEEP IN TOUCH WITH YOUR TEAM

Very often, grinding for this rank is not a one-time adventure. Take care of the relationships with the people with whom you have achieved The Global Elite. Play a Ranked Match or even an Arms Race game with them from time to time; just make sure to stay in touch.

INVENT NEW STRATEGIES

Launch any map and look for new smoke lineups, bomb plants, or pop flashes. Who knows, you might come up with something that wins your team a few rounds.

TAKE CARE OF YOUR MUSCLE MEMORY

It doesn’t matter how good you are; you need to keep practicing if you want to stay on that level and keep your game sense on point. That said, you might also want to be more careful about changing your game settings, so you don’t need to adapt to them over and over again.
