The patch also fixes the matchmaking algorithm to entice players back to the official.
Valve has announced that is making major advancements to the in-game competitive matchmaking algorithm.
The algorithm, called Competitive Skill Groups, is undergoing some recalibration.
However, todays update affects all CS:GO players so it requires some explanation.
The fix is hoped to help with the current issues faced by players during matchmaking.
Since that adjustment, players have been skewed very heavily towards Silver and Gold Nova.
