Professional competition: the rules

In general terms, CSGO is a battle between two teams, Counter-Terrorists (CT) and Terrorists, that must complete objectives while attempting to eliminate the opposing team on a game map.

THE BEST BONUSES FOR SLOTS

– Every round is a 5v5 battle that lasts for 1 min 55 secs. Every match is 30 rounds where the first team to reach 16 rounds wins that specific map. You cannot change the team on your own after 15 rounds played, the teams switch sides automatically. If the match ends in a 15-15 tie, there will be announced overtime. The game may end faster if the opponent team throws in the towel;

– Each match is usually played in a BO1, BO2, BO3 or BO5 format (it means ‘Best of 1 map”). If it is a small competition or group stages, BO1 is a standard match type. BO2 type is used in group stages (the teams can receive points for draws). BO3, BO5 types are used in knockout stages, deciding games and tournament finals;

– The terrorist team must plant a bomb at one of two bombsites while the CT team will defend these places. The CT team has 35 seconds before the bomb detonates. The round winning conditions:

Counter-Terrorist

1. The bomb has been defused;
2. The match time is over without the planted bomb;
3. All Terrorists have been eliminated before the bomb is planted.

Terrorists

1. The bomb has been exploded;
2. All CTs have been eliminated before the bomb is planted;
