Steam numbers lying?
If there's 1,300,000 players right now (rounding up) then why does it take 5+ minutes to find a match of wingman?

Because:
1. There are different server regions, and you cant be matched with players from another region.
2. There are different layers of trust factor, and you can't be matched with players which trust factor is much differs from yours.
3. There are a bunch of gamemods, community servers, third-party matchmaking, like faceit and others. So you can't be matched with all this players.
4. A lot of people are playing free version of cs, with no prime. You can't be matched with players, who have no prime, if you have one.
5. Noone gives a sheet about wingman mode, which is played by few schoolers and cheaters.
6. Even those ones, who like to play wingman, they used to play few specific maps, to grind their rating. So this small part of players, who plays wingman, devides by maps they playing, and became much smaller groups for each map.
Hard to say what total global player numbers are, but I would guess it's maybe 2 million. 5 million players of cs2 existed at the start. Im sure 3.2m or so of them have played within the last few months. But some do not play often probably.

Subtract maybe 100k for bots and 380k for cheaters and you have the rest who sometimes make the concurrent daily player count go up to like 1.6m

lol this broscience mathematics. 1.3k in game. Lets say 20% is bot farming, makes it about 260,000, that would still put player count over 1 mil. Afk? Maybe but not that many... lets do same 20% (probably high but oh well). That's still close to 800k regular players. Numbers are definitely scewed but a lot are probably not playing wingman. There's multiple modes, premier, comp, wingman, dm, casual. Not sure if those numbers include faceit as well.

Done 2 comp matches (EU) so far, took 10 secs each time finding a game.
Nobody plays this game expect third world brokies like me grinding cases every 7 days. Or its because there is too much china or vietnam, russian bots grinding this game to earn some money and boost fake inflated number of cs2
Because no one plays Wingman.
We played few matches in competitive with only Dust and Inferno for search and the longest queue time was 35 seconds and we didn't met the same players.

i doubt that. Even if there is 100k real people playing there is too many cheaters so real players that play legit is even more less

Looked at cs2 comm hub just now also very, very suspiciously... Cs2 is a nonsense program; ain't no "Pros"; ain't no skill issues; software is straight dumpster fire. 1.1-1.3M obv lies identically to my profile saying there are "thousands" of hours played on Cs2--another blatant falsification.:cozytf2mug:

There are only 10 active players and those are the ones I'm matched with. And even then half of them are AI generated and powered.
1.300.000 is a fake number. Marvel Rivals is the most popular game right now and they barely get 400k.
