A CS:GO match? Short answer: it depends. Quick casual match could be 20-30 mins, but strap in for competitive games because you're hitting the 45-60 min mark, easy. If you're in for a marathon, overtimes can push that to a solid hour and a half. Time flies when you're having fun (or getting crushed)!

CS:GO matches vary in length depending on the mode, but a competitive match typically lasts about 45 minutes to an hour. If it's super close and goes to overtime, you might be looking at 90 minutes. Casual modes can be significantly shorter, usually around half that time. So, grab some snacks, it could be a long ride!

Competitive CS:GO matches can last FOREVER... just kidding. But seriously, plan for at least 45 minutes to an hour. If you're jumping into a casual game, though, you're looking at 20-30 minutes, tops. So choose your battles wisely, and maybe don't start one right before you have to leave for something important.

Short and sweet: competitive = long (45-90 mins), casual = not so long (20-30 mins). Pick your poison!

Honestly, if you're new, just focus on not getting kicked for inactivity while you admire your gun skins. But yeah, competitive can take up to 90 minutes, casual's shorter.
