Server for Russians only.
I was playing a game of CS:GO on Mirage today, and due to the fact that I was the only non-Russian in the match everyone were just writing and speaking in Russian, and there was NO communication AT ALL. None of them spoke English, no callouts no nothing. The annoying thing is I did very well in this match but with no prospect of winning simply due to the random chance that I got a full team of non-English speakers on my team. PLEASE make it so that Europeans don't get matched with Russians, the language barrier is astronomical. I am not trying to be racist to Russians, it is just a very unfortunate reality that the majority of Russian CS:GO players don't speak English. Atleast I have yet to meet a single one with 150 hours competitive played. Is there any way we can get this across to Valve? I can see many people are as frustrated as I am.

+1 Bump.
This is pretty much what the community is dreaming about beside 128tic and better anticheat.
♥♥♥♥♥ dedicated server would turn the matchmaking in better like ssssso much.
100% agree.
Just don’t solo queue if you meet them constantly. Even they learned to queue up.

It’s not fair to block out an entire country because you can’t speak the same language as them.

Well... it's not about "blocking" anybody, just give them servers in their region. Simply as that, like North Americans and Asians!
Also, and i'd like to strongly point that: the whole world speak english but they refuse to.
Is that THEY don't talk the same language. Not us.

The whole world doesn’t speak English. It’s not always easy to learn. They are speaking Russian, and therefore decide to queue with their Russian friends. So why don’t you queue with people as well?

EU-East isn't enough apparently.

I dont think they are refusing, BongShot, their education system is simply terrible. But it doesn't change the fact that they don't speak the language and that affects gameplay greatly. I don't like to sugercoat things. They should have their own servers.
Hold up... they are majority, you are 1. And they should speak english. If they can coordinate in Russian better than in Enlish, why they should even try to speak english?
You are the one, taking them down here.

3uuulB same as not everybody speak english (and they shoud learn if they want to join an english speaking community) not everybody have friends to play with :'/

Yeah, you expressed the concept more accurately. Thanks (+1)

But csgo is a global thing, it’s not really an entirely English community. Notice the forum posts in different languages still get responses all the time.

You can’t expect someone to learn an entire language just to play a 16 dollar game. Like I said, Russians don’t usually solo queue because of the fact that they speak Russian. It’s not hard to find people, that’s why there’s a “looking for players” subforum.

First: they have atleast 2 server near them.
Second: No. Not the whole world speaks english.

There was communication. Just not in a language you can understand.
And when you ask them friendly then they will give you english callouts. Happens nearly always when i play with east europeans.
Its still MM. When you cant play with the minimap as your only information soruce than you should play only with a full premade.
The truth has been spoken!

Nelly, I always ask Russians "Hey, can you please give callouts in English so I can keep up?" They always reply in their own tongue, probably insulting me.
