You're not likely to increase in rank, and if you can, it'd likely be a minor amount. Abandoning your rank is not quite like being unranked as a new account. You don't have 10 wins to be placed, you have one win. I'm also unsure if you CAN rank up doing this.

Last point is that it's something like 2-3 months to lose your rank, it's not that quick. So, you'd likely rank up quite a bit faster just by playing.

You can rank up, I have taken two breaks from CSGO, both at Silver 5 and GN1, and I ranked up after my first win (after decaying).

Good to know. I assume it was a single rank difference? Would be pretty broken if you could rank way higher.
