Creating a private CS:GO match is pretty straightforward. First, you'll want to launch CS:GO and open the game's console by pressing `~` on your keyboard. Then, type in 'map de_dust2' (or any map you prefer) to start a game on that map. Once the game loads, open the console again and type 'bot_kick' to remove all bots. To invite friends, press Shift+Tab to open the Steam overlay, right-click on your friend's name, and select 'Invite to Game'. Voilà, private match all set!

Just hit up the 'Play with Friends' option in the game menu. You can set the match to 'Private Match', choose your settings, invite your pals, and you're ready to roll. No need to mess with all that console stuff if you're not feeling techy.

Actually, you kinda want those bots for practice before the real deal. Don’t kick 'em all out!

Make sure everyone's got a decent internet connection. Nothing ruins a private match faster than one person lagging like crazy.
