To 1v1 in CS:GO, you'll need to follow a few simple steps that I'll break down for you. I've been playing CS:GO for years, and these methods are proven to work effectively.

First, launch CS:GO and connect to a private server. The easiest way is to:

1. Click "Play"
2. Select "Workshop Maps"
3. Subscribe to and download "aim_map" or any 1v1 map
4. Create a lobby and invite your friend

For the best 1v1 experience, use these console commands:

• mp_warmup_end

  - Ends warmup

• mp_freezetime 0

  - Removes freeze time

• mp_roundtime 60

  - Sets round time to 60 minutes

• mp_limitteams 1

  - Limits teams to 1 player each

• mp_autoteambalance 0

  - Disables auto team balance

To practice effectively, I recommend setting these rules with your opponent:

• Decide on specific weapons (AWP, AK-47, M4A4, etc.)
• Choose whether utility is allowed (flashbangs, smokes)
• Set a win condition (first to 10 kills, best of 15, etc.)

For the most competitive 1v1 experience:

• Start with equal money
• Use similar weapons
• Don't camp for extended periods
• Communicate clearly about rules
• Reset positions after each round

Quick tips for winning 1v1s:

• Practice your crosshair placement
• Use sound cues to your advantage
• Don't reload unnecessarily
• Mix up your positions and strategies
• Stay calm and focused

Remember to warm up before starting serious 1v1s, and always maintain good sportsmanship with your opponent. These settings can be adjusted based on your preferences and skill level.
