Can you rank down after a win on CS:GO?

[RelaxImAPilot]

I had 2 wins the lost 6! Is it possible I level down even If I win my next game or can I bring it back by winning 6? Im so confused about this system but I want to keep my rank.

Yes. If you don't play as well as the system expects, you will go down rather than up.
If you get matched up against a statistically far inferior team, the system will expect you to steamroll them. If you didn't live up to your predicted performance, your progress will reverse even if you nailed the 16 rounds. The same can happen in reverse if you're the inferior team and manage to put up a better fight than predicted.

You can also lose rank on a win if you left the game that happened before it. Your rank only updates at the conclusion of a match and it will also update to account for any unfinished matches that haven't yet been accounted for.

About doing "statistically better than expected" I'm not sure if it goes by round W/L or by personal K/D. Sounds logical to be the former because that's what matters, but many think it's the latter. Unless it comes from an official Valve employee, don't take anything for certain no matter how much someone's convinced they're right.

I left my last game because it was 0-9 and we had 2 bots, does this mean that when I win my next game I will level down :(

[Cooperal]

One leave might not be enough to down-rank but if you do, that would've contributed to it.

I lost 3 and left that one, I just really hope I don't. Before the the 3 I has 2 wins though.

A few weeks ago I fell all the way down to gold nova 1, and then proceeded to continue my unlucky streak of losses. I had 8 losses in a row as nova 1, and then a win, then two losses in a row, after that a win and I ranked up to nova 2.
Found the whole thing weird xD

[RelaxImAPilot]

wow @Pows, The system is so weird!

I rank downed from Master Guardian I to Gold Nova Master after just 2 lost in a row, btw i was best in my team both matches and score ws 29:19 and 32:18

From experience, I can say that you can't rank down from a win. Won 591 games and never ranked down on a single one.

Yesterday I won the game, I had good statistic - 1st place and hiest number of kills, and the opponent team had 3 ak ranks. But after game rank fell down from 4 to 3 star. :-(

The ranking system is stupid sometimes. After playing 90 hours I shouldn't be playing against someone that's played 1300.. totally unfair
