neo hasnt touched the game since last week and taz is barely playing. And from every interview since northcon its been fairly obvious that they have a lot of motivation to play CSGO and want to become the best.
you need to be a decent player to be able to get 2.1k+ - ofcourse the game is easy if you are playing normal games against idiots. just like any other game.
it is however alot more friendlier towards the new players compared to dota and hon, but the game still requires alot of skill in higher ELO.
ive tried it, its so so so boring game, but i love lol, its so great to watch and also play, unlike dota2 - buy branches, ok, buy 50% mana regen ring - u king? no... booooring
