That's not true because My friends are all Rank 2 and they won 20+ matches in a row and still didn't rank.I just turned Rank 2 because I just got xbox 360 ^^.
i stil havnt figured this out but my friend is lvl 4 and he said it all has to do you with the k/d and w/l spread if you get above 1.0 in both w/l and k/d he said you should rank up but i doubt it,
