Playing 1vs1 Match in Counter-Strike 2

To play 1vs1 in CS2, you first need to find a player to play against. This person can be one of your Steam friends or a random player you met in CS2 matchmaking. Once you have that player, invite them to your CS2 lobby and start a practice match. Once you enter a practice match, type “bot_kick” in the console and press the “Enter” key to kick bots. If this is still confusing, follow the steps below to make sure you get it right.

  • Step 1: Launch CS2, invite the player you want to 1vs1, and click the “PLAY” button from the home screen.

  • Step 2: Select the “PRACTICE” option to enter a private match.

  • Step 3: Choose the “WINGMAN” game mode to access smaller maps that work well for 1vs1 matches.

  • Step 4: Pick the map you want for the 1vs1 match.

  • Step5: Click the “GO” button to start the match.

  • Step 6: Open the console, type “bot_kick,” and press “Enter” to remove all bots and keep the match purely 1vs1.
