Matchmaking
The modifications that Valve ship to CS:GO’s matchmaking mechanism typically are so minor that they don’t mention them in their release notes. But since everyone who plays CS:GO will be impacted by today’s update, some explanation is necessary. You’ll note that when you launch CS:GO, your skill group is not shown; you must win one more match before it is revealed. The majority of you will notice that your Skill Group has changed, but some of you might discover that you were previously in the proper Skill Group.
