Silver Elite

Silver Elite (also known as SE) is the fifth rank of the “Silver” division, meaning it is the fifth (counting down from the lowest) of eighteen ranks in the Counter-Strike: Global Offensive ranking system.

Is Silver Elite good?

Silver Elite is a rank that declares knowledge of the absolute basics of the game and means being in the top 82.29% of all players. Although far from a pro player, Silver Elite players should have no problem knowing places on the map or aiming at their opponent’s head. To be honest, Silver Elite players are not much different from, say, Gold Nova 2, but they still tend to make some novice mistakes. It contains about 6.44% of all CSGO players, where virtually all of them are beginners (and smurfs, of course).

Ways to improve from Silver Elite

A Silver Elite player’s main goal should be to eliminate novice mistakes once and for all.

Practice your recoil

Use maps and servers for Recoil training regularly. Try to spend at least 15 minutes a day on such practice, and you will quickly notice the effects in ranked games.

Use your radar

Getting precise info is essential in CSGO. Since you can’t always count on your teammates, you should take advantage of the radar in the upper-left corner.

Learn some basic pistol round strats

The team that wins the pistol round very often wins the next two rounds. Try different strategies on each map and see which ones work best for you!
