CS does match making now. They had a few problems:

1. Small pool of active players so queue times could be long

2. They had a "gulf" where you got de-ranked down into lower tiers and it was a lot of good players in the bottom tiers that couldn't fight their way out to higher tiers with possibly equal players.

They fixed 2 with a re-calibrating a few months ago. They have 18 ranks now. I jumped up 5ish with the re-calibrate.

CS:GO usually has 900k players online at any time? Yes not all playing MM but still...
