Cs Go casual potentially harder then competitive?

Does "Casual" contain matchmaking?

It differs per game. Plenty of smurfs In comp as well.
But casual is harder because there is no teamwork. You can't even talk to your team only. Can't even make calls if you are dead.

NO.

I say competitive is harder. In casual you already have more money and free armor among other things. You also have more people that could potentially help you take over/defend/rescue or whatever.

The other problem with casual, even though I think it's easier, there are a lot of people that go in and mess around so it could be harder for you without that extra player. Again, since there are more people, if your team isn't decent you're more than likely to get bombarded from all sides. But that goes for competitive as well. it's just the bombardments may be smaller and you're more likely to have an idea of it when there are less players, but it's just as hard I'd say because the enemies are probably less damaged.

I would say playing casual is just a different style of gameplay. You sometimes get good and sometimes bad opponents, but if you want to be on top of the leaderboard you just need to run and gun (with some aim, recoil and map knowledge), while in competitive that kind of playing won't get you very far because better opponents will know how to shut you down. On the other hand playing patiently and relying on your teammates in casual will get you killed because you will only get flanked from behind or get killed by 5 players running in with p90s while the rest of the team is on the other bombsite and left half of the map to the other team.

It's not harder...it's just more stupid.
More or less mayhem. No point in using strategies and all that shit.

Casual is just a watered down competitive if you ask me.

casual is the worst boring shitty group sex with fulltards in the game
if you want to be better, play competitive or dm

Most casual servers are plagued with trolls and hackers, but there are some casual servers with a high level of play where if you're not organized and communicating like competitive and just randomly running around you will lose every round quickly. So I'd say competitive is harder because most people are actually trying to win as opposed to trolls ghosting or team flashing you in hopes of getting you to rage.
