Previously, new players could completely earn ranks and titles, beat items, and even get prime statuses. But, according to Valve, These advantages began to abuse that spoiled the life of both new and old players.

Most likely, cheaters used in this way. Once in the ban, they could earn their prime-status again and continue wicked to play the rating lobby. Apparently, Valve believes that the fee is shifting lovers to cheer.

In order not to lose the accumulated experience and continue to earn goggles for prime status CS: Go (and get all running pieces), will have to get out for ₽1 150. But if you don’t want to give my blood, Valve Offers an alternative – non-running modes. In them, players will no longer be able to get the titles, but the selection will still depend on the skill of participants. Unreading modes can join including the owners of prime status.
