So ya since the new update your account needs to be level 3 to be able to play competitive. So why not give u guys a easy way to get it?

First thing u can do is ofcourse craft badges.
Easy to get badge is the CS:GO badge. It cost in euro's 30 cent to buy all the cards and to make the badge.
If u have all 5 cards just craft the badge and tada done.
Another easy way for a easy level is the community badge.

Just complete those simple task.
If u do 22 of the tasks u will get 200xp and that means automaticly Level 3.
Goodluck with leveling your smurf.
