Counter-Strike: Global Offensive is undoubtedly one of the best competitive shooters in the world right now. With a total of eighteen ranks to climb, CSGO players are constantly looking for room to improve in the title till they reach the prestigious rank of Global Elite, which is the peak rank in CSGO.
