    update - competitive skill grouping

    Q. What is a Skill Group?

    A. Like an Elo rating in Chess, the CS:GO competitive Skill Groups predict how well players will perform when playing against other players. Two equally skilled teams should, on average, win an equal number of matches when competing against each other.

    Sounds good to me, really.
    the first 10 matches might suck a bit but it's sure to get better.

    I like how it also allows for newbies to play competitively.

    Q. Should I avoid partying with lower skilled friends because they will hurt my rating?

    A. No. Firstly, the matchmaking system will take your lower-skilled friend into consideration when finding a match. And second, the system makes a prediction about how well each team member will perform in a match. So losing a match with a lower skilled player on your team is not likely to significantly impact your Skill Group. If you always play your best then your Skill Group will provide you with well matched teammates and opponents.


    Looks to me like Valve is really listening to their users, as usual.

    Your thoughts?
