When operation hydra was launched by valve for CS:GO, It bring lots of new maps, game modes and also achievements to be gained. Few things that gained the eyes of csgo players was games modes like Wingman and Flying Scoutsman which was apart of War Games but moastly wingman as it was like a short version of competitive matchmaking. Let me explain how it impacted the community in article below.
What is Wingman ?
Wingman is an event game mode added to Counter-Strike: Global Offensive in Operation Hydra, as a part of the May 23, 2017 update, as one of the three Hydra Events, alongside War Games and Weapons Expert. After November 13, 2017, the game mode became permanent, along with the new match matching algorithm called "Trust Factor."
The Wingman game mode consists of competitive matches on maps with one bombsite, a best-of-16 game format, and a special Wingman skill group. The rules are similar to competitive, but the game mode takes place in "compact" maps. The round timer is 1 minute and 30 seconds.
Different Ranking System- A Good Idea?
After the end of operation hydra with a new update valve completely changes the ranking system earlier it was wingman skill group which ranges from tier rank 1 to rank 24 but afterwards they realised that wingman is not just a side mission/casual game mode as people were serious for short mode of the matchmaking and released the ranks similar to the matchmaking ranks and make it little more professional.
Everyone Is Playing Wingman?
Weather it be noobs like me or it be professional players like Stewie2k, ScreaM or Tarik etc. everyone has started to love this game mode and become serious about their ranks in this game mode. Youtubers love this game mode and also it's more player based and also a fact that rather than 4 toxic team mates now you just have to handle only one toxic team mate so it's a win for me to least.
It Was Their Before?
During majors and premier tournaments earlier their was side mode HTC 2v2 in which several pros competed in 2v2 matchups similar to the wingman so it's not new here so maybe i think it should return back or maybe just a tournament for wingman. It seems as a good idea i guess.
