Easy peasy! Open up CS:GO and hit the play button to start looking for a game. Then, click on 'Official Matchmaking' and look for the 'Region' settings. Here, you can select the region you want to play in. Remember, choosing a region far from your actual location might spike your ping, turning you into a teleporting ninja whether you like it or not.

Changing regions? Why bother, stick to your own and dominate! Playing in another region with high ping is just asking to get owned.

Just use a VPN. Pick a country, connect, and boom - matchmaking region changed. Keep in mind though, your ping might go through the roof. So, choose wisely unless you want to play 'Lag Simulator 2023'.
