Derank in CSGO:

Well, deranking is done when a player wants to intentionally decrease his/her rank which can be due to any of the following reasons:

• The skill level of the player is too low based on their current CSGO Rank
• He/She wants to rank at the same level as his friends to have a better matchmaking experience for his mates
• He/She might wanna derank to dominate the low rankers and play the game as a stress reliever (Truly me 😛)
• To try out something out of the box which is not possible in current rank
• And for many other factors

How is Deranking done in CS GO?

Deranking is generally done with a full squad of 5 members due to the fact that in case you are doing a solo/duo queue, you might find some pro players who reject deranking and might win some rounds or even win the game by themselves which will increase your ELO and you will have to derank for even more number of matches to come down to the previous ELO!

So, just before you start deranking, here are some points which might be of great use and will definitely help you derank in the right, easiest and quickest manner:

• Always take a full lobby of derankers and try to have players with rank lower than yours, this will not only help you in decreasing the EO but it also ensures a quick derank
• Here’s the list of matches (on average) required to derank based on rank (Please note, this count might vary in case your current account ELO is too high or too low for your rank):

         LEM (Legendary Eagle Master) to GE (The Global Elite): requires losing of 2-4 matches to derank

         MG1 (Master Guardian 1) to DMG (Distinguished Master Guardian): requires losing of 3-5 matches to derank

         GN1 (Gold Nova 1) to GNM (Gold Nova Master): requires losing of 4-8 matches to derank

         S2 (Silver 2) to SEM (Silver Elite Master): requires losing of 6-12 matches to derank or even more for the case of silver 2 and silver 3!

CSGO Derank command/console commands:

Before queuing in a deranking lobby, make sure that you set your ping to 350 (maximum) since most of the types you will be queuing up with people from different countries and the below console command will do just that:

mm_dedicated_search_maxping 350

Once you are in the match, you can use the below commands to make sure your player is not kicked for being AFK:

+forward;+back;

The above command is basically pressing the forward and back key at the same time which results in player standing at the same position but the game thinks that you are not AFK and hence you will never be kicked out of the game for being AFK! How cool is that? 😀

Once you are done with the match, make sure to enter the below commands to remove the effect of the above commands:

-forward;-back;

It simply removes the forward and backward and brings you back to the normal state where-in you can use your keyboard keys to move the player around! Ez Pz 🙂
