Anyway I deleted the game and the game files as well and am now re-downloading. Had some other .cfg file in which set rate to 128 (I think default is 64). It never made a difference before but perhaps something is wrong - or my re-installation efforts will also be in vain and it is simply an ISP routing issue.
Certainly not a speed issue at least:

That config has been edited to death, but just copy my RATES, also make sure for mat_queue_mode 2 (or -1 for default of your system). Valve servers are by default and standard 64 tick.
DMG. Peasant.@Fulcrum29 I'm two ranks behind you. Soon I'll will be two in front of you as well.
Later than sooner then.Tonight I have determined that I can't play this game and that I need to learn how to play this game.
Play smarter.the last few games (4-5) have been globals and supremes. Matchmaking has decided it hates us (we're LEM to LE).
Play smarter.
You won't be able to tank or push the top 2% without team strats and team comms. Aggressiveness on CT is now a job. Just the way it is, you need to outplay them in your own zone.Easy to say from the sidelines.

Another question here.
I am unranked and have yet to play a single competitive match. I have been trying to find a competitive game to play so I can get better at the game and perhaps start ranking. I am Level 7 on the XP ranking system through casual play.
Doesn't seem I can find a game at all, I am trying Dust 2 only now as I figured that should give me the best chance of finding a game. How long should I wait to get a game? Waiting time is below 3 mins according to the game, yet even after waiting several times I can't find a game.

Thanks, I have tried that to no avail. Not sure what's wrong.Add more maps, should get you a quicker find times but 2 or 3 mins is normal
normally in the evening when i do playSometimes we can wait 20 min. That would be 4 mins 5 5times at least. What time of the day are you searching?
Trust Factor, queue with a friend or two, who already plays competitive matchmaking, to give you some CS cred.Another question here.
