For those saying you can't pause in CS:GO, remember it's about the context. Competitive matches allow pauses through voting - it's a team decision. So, teamwork makes the dream work, even in pausing!

Pausing a CS:GO match really depends on if you're playing in a casual game or a competitive setting. In casual games, you can't really pause the match since it's all about quick, continuous play. But in competitive matches, you can use the vote system to request a pause for the next freezetime. Just open the command console (usually the '~' key), and type 'callvote pause' to initiate a vote among your team. Remember, this needs a majority vote to pass!

FYI, some private servers and matches with custom settings might allow admins or players to pause the game directly. So it varies.

Simple: you can't pause in casual matches, only in competitive ones. And even then, it's up to your teammates.
