How do promotion/demotion work in CSGO

I didn't play CSGO for a few months, and now that I came back to it, I'm stuck on the lowest ranking.

I must have played 15 games, not all wins, but still there was some, but I'm still with one stripe.

So how does the ranking work? Can I see how far I am to ranking up?

When playing competitive matchmaking for the first time you need 10 wins or draws in order to get your initial skill group.

After a certain amount of inactivity (4 weeks of not participating in competitive) you'll show as unranked again. This time your ranking is only hidden, not gone. After another win or draw you will see your badge again.

If you want a rank-up you can't tell. This is all about your team's performance in every game. Losing 16-1 has still a bigger impact than winning 3 times 16-14.

This answer should help a bit.
