Just hit the console up with 'map de_dust2' or any map you fancy, invite your buds and bam, you're set. No need for all that complicated server rental business unless you’re planning the esports event of the century.

Making a private server in CS:GO is like baking a cake, but instead of sugar and flour, you need a sprinkle of commands and a pinch of patience! First, launch CS:GO and open the console using the '~' key. Type 'map ' followed by the map code (like 'de_dust2' for Dust II). This creates a local game. Then, invite your friends through the Steam overlay. If you want more control and customization, consider renting a server from a hosting service where you can set your rules, mods, and maps. It's a bit more complex but gives you the ultimate party planning power!

Renting a server is the way to go. Local games are fine for messing around, but if you want real control and no lag, get yourself a server. Trust me, been running my own for years and it’s the only way to have a real competitive match with friends.
