Honestly, third-party sites are the way to go for 1v1s. Community servers can be a hit or miss sometimes.

To dive into 1v1 matches with strangers in CS:GO, your best bet is community servers! Open your game, head over to the 'Play' tab, and select 'Community Server Browser.' Use the search bar and type in '1v1' or 'arena.' You'll find a bunch of servers dedicated to 1v1 matchups. Just pick one with a decent ping and you're good to go. Another way is to check out third-party matchmaking services like FACEIT or ESEA. They have 1v1 ladders and tournaments that can really spice up your game.

Just hop onto the community servers, type '1v1' in the search, and join any server. Easy peasy.
