In standard competitive CS:GO matches, there are 30 rounds in total, with each team playing 15 rounds on both the terrorist (T) and counter-terrorist (CT) sides. The first team to win 16 rounds wins the match.

If both teams win 15 rounds each, resulting in a 15-15 score, the match goes into overtime. In competitive matchmaking, overtime consists of 6 additional rounds (3 rounds per side) with the first team to reach 19 rounds being declared the winner.

In professional tournaments, overtime rules can vary: - Most commonly, teams play sets of 6 rounds (3 per side) - Teams need to win by a 2-round margin - Each player starts with $10,000 - Overtime continues until a winner is determined

For casual game modes, the round structure is different: - Casual matches are first to 8 rounds (maximum 15 rounds) - Short competitive matches are first to 9 rounds (maximum 16 rounds) - Wingman (2v2) matches are first to 9 rounds (maximum 16 rounds)

Each round in CS:GO has a time limit of 1 minute and 55 seconds (1:55), but can end earlier if: - All players on one team are eliminated - The bomb explodes (T win) - The bomb is defused (CT win) - Time runs out (CT win if bomb isn't planted, T win if planted)

Knowing these round numbers is crucial for understanding match progression and developing proper economic strategies throughout the game.
