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.
