How to skip CS:GO downloaded matches
Best answer

Unfortunately, you can't skip through downloaded matches like you would in a YouTube video. The demo playback system in CS:GO doesn't support fast forwarding or skipping ahead directly. However, you can use the demo playback control panel (`shift + F2`) to speed up the replay. This won't let you skip to a specific moment instantly, but it does let you fast-forward through parts of the match faster.

Just hit the `shift + F2` buttons, and you'll bring up the demo player UI. From there, you can control the speed of the playback. Crank it up to breeze through the boring parts or slow it down for the intense moments. It's not exactly skipping, but it's the closest thing we've got.

I wish! CS:GO hasn't made it easy to just skip to the good parts in a downloaded match. Your best bet is speeding things up with the demo controls. Not perfect, but it does the job for the most part.

Actually, you just have to get creative with the `shift + F2` controls. Sure, CS:GO won't let you skip like you're binge-watching a show, but speeding up playback is pretty much the workaround we're stuck with. Make the most of it!
