Eco, not spending any cash for 1-2 rounds to allow buying full gear.

Save round, usually an eco round, player picks up an expensive gun off a player and hides to 'save' it for the next round.

Match making, random match up of players loosely based around skill levels.

Matchmaking is the rank based player matching in competitive, eco is a round where you buy very little for economy purposes (To allow you and your team to have the money to win the next round, generally buying a five-seven, tec-9 or p250 and possibly relevant grenades, such as smokes while defending on eco)

Oh wow, I was last.
Everybody be typing at the same time.

Eco: A term used on a round where a team is low on money and has to buy so-called "Economy Weapons", meaning weapons that are cheap and reward a decent amount of money, but aren't useful otherwise.

Save Round: A term used on a round where a team is too low on money to even attempt an Economy Round, or if the money would be better spent on next round. This is usually the case after a Pistol Round (1st round of the half) is lost.

Matchmaking: A system that matches players together to quickly start games. It attempts to keep the game at an equal chance to win for both teams by matching players of a similar rank range (Silvers 1-Elite Master, Gold Nova 1-Master, etc. There's a guide on the matchmaking ranks, look it up) and skill level.
