I do agree with you Rawrplus although you don't know what's happening in MM of CS:GO. Those that are of a smaller rank tend to get really frustrated and call any good player a cheater. That's why I believe that a rank does matter to a certain extent. I'm not saying that if the applicant is Gold Nova (Silver in LoL) he should immediately be denied. There is a trial admin rank for a reason although right now is not the time. I'm not being big-headed because of my rank but if we allow Silver/Gold (Bronze/Silver: LoL) to take over at this moment and time we will see no "good" players as those will either be banned or frustrated because one of the friends just got banned.
What I'm trying to say, sure we can admins of any rank just like we did in 1.6 but not now, where administration skills are crucial. Once the servers get rolling and we get a stable amount of players we can then start thinking about accepting those less experienced and let them grow as an administrator. Same goes for modded servers. You don't need a Global Elite (Challenger: LoL) to lead a JB server or any other modded servers that Ambrosia is going to release in the near future.
Ambrosia was never like that, we never accepted admins because of their in-game skills. Yes, you're right. Other properties do count as well. I don't want to change any rules but we kinda have to if we want to keep those good players on the server rather than on the banlist. 
I never said ranks don't matter, I think you undermine my point there. I think it's important to have advanced understanding of game and I think the rank should be one of the factors when determining an admin, just not the one and only deciding one.
There's also a 1000 way to prove why rank in cs:go shouldn't be a factor.
First of all, matchmaking gets you 2 global elites with 2 silver 1 players against you as master guardian elite.
Second of all, the amount of raging kids in MM
Third of all, the fact that french and russian people all have mics and don't speak english in MM.
4th, the fact that random teams have lack of teamplay.
So basically the rank system stands on people who have teams.
Basically when the ambrosians play together and win. So rank is how lucky you are to have a great random team.
And having overwatch is not a factor too. As overwatch is a bunch of people who "vote" for the gameplay of a player.
and it's giving to people active on Matchmaking.
Seriously, i believe that Pim is capable of choosing the people ready for being admin.
