This new CS:GO update, in essence, is all about giving Prime account holders options while limiting non-Prime accounts with changes that remove some benefits they used to have. Since CS:GO does have a cheating problem, it could be a great move from Valve. Here&#8217;s what you need to know about the latest CS:GO update, starting with Unranked matchmaking.<\/p>\n<h2>CS:GO Unranked matchmaking details<\/h2>\n<p>With the CS:GO update on 6th June, you will no longer see &#8220;Scrimmage&#8221; in competitive matchmaking. This has been replaced with Unranked matchmaking.<\/p>\n<p>While Unranked still uses skill-based matchmaking, it does not affect your Skill Group and has no party restrictions. Both Prime and non-Prime accounts are able to participate in Unranked, so you will find a mixture of players there.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn-cf.ginx.tv\/imgcdn\/YdgAPXxjTAFFRyDpRpCpLG8-8KXo083P7vO9if2kogc\/rs:fill:0:0:1\/g:ce\/aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuZ2lueC50di91cGxvYWRzMi9DU0dPL3VucmFua2VkL0NTR09VbnJhbmtlZGluc2lkZTEuanBnP190PTE2MjI3ODQzNTc\" alt=\"new update CS:GO unranked matchmaking non-prime account changes Valve\" width=\"600\" height=\"289\" loading=\"lazy\"><span style=\"font-size: 8pt;\">(Picture: Valve)<\/span><\/p>\n<p>The full update notes for Unranked in CS:GO as per the <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.counter-strike.net\/index.php\/2021\/06\/34389\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">official patch notes<\/a> read:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Introducing Unranked matches for Competitive, Wingman, and Danger Zone game modes.<\/li>\n<li>While still using skill-based matchmaking, Unranked matches do not affect Skill Group and have no Skill Group party restrictions.<\/li>\n<li>Non-Prime accounts are restricted to Unranked, whereas Prime accounts may choose between Ranked and Unranked.<\/li>\n<li>Ranked matches will always be with other Prime players, exclusively, whereas Unranked matches will be created from the mixed pool of Non-Prime players &#8211; and Prime players that have chosen to play Unranked.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>While this does sound quite good, there are concerns that Unranked will be filled to the brim with cheaters, and not worth it for those with Prime accounts.<\/p>\n<div class=\"cke_pagebreak\" style=\"page-break-after: always;\" title=\"Page Break\" contenteditable=\"false\" aria-label=\"Page Break\" data-cke-display-name=\"pagebreak\" data-cke-pagebreak=\"1\">&nbsp;<\/div>\n<h2>Non-Prime CS:GO account changes<\/h2>\n<p>With the introduction of Unranked matches, Valve has made some changes to non-Prime accounts, possibly in a move to negate what cheaters can achieve in the game.<\/p>\n<p>Check out the non-Prime CS:GO account changes below:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Non-Prime status accounts will no longer earn XP, Ranks, Skill Groups, item drops, or Prime status through playtime.<\/li>\n<li>Non-Prime accounts will not be able to participate in Ranked matches.<\/li>\n<li>Non-Prime accounts will not be able to activate Bonus Rank XP items and can no longer claim Service Medals.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>There are also some miscellaneous changes which you can check out via the image below.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn-cf.ginx.tv\/imgcdn\/JFIdvz3oVAf8F4SiFWhI5wMLY_oqYQQ5DnI_Jw79sgQ\/rs:fill:0:0:1\/g:ce\/aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuZ2lueC50di91cGxvYWRzMi9DU0dPL3VucmFua2VkL0NTR09VbnJhbmtlZGluc2lkZTIuanBnP190PTE2MjI3ODQzNTc\" alt=\"new update CS:GO unranked matchmaking non-prime account changes Valve\" width=\"600\" height=\"318\" loading=\"lazy\"><br \/><span style=\"font-size: 8pt;\">(Picture: Valve)<\/span><\/p>\n<p>While this does look like a good move from Valve overall, one has to take into consideration that the Prime account status will cost you &#36;15 USD.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Read more: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ginx.tv\/en\/cs-go\/cis-teams-asks-valve-to-investigate-akuma-cheating-allegations-in-open-letter\">CIS teams asks Valve to investigate Akuma cheating allegations in open letter<\/a><\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><em>Don&#8217;t forget to check out our dedicated section for&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ginx.tv\/en\/cs-go\">CS:GO tournament guides, news and articles about pro teams<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Without any prior warning, Valve released an impactful CS:GO update in the early hours of the morning on 6th June 2021.
