If you're tired of being automatically switched between teams in CS:GO, I'll show you how to disable auto-balance in just a few simple steps. This works for both casual gameplay and when hosting your own server.

For Console Commands: - Open the console by pressing the

~

key (if enabled) - Type

mp_autoteambalance 0

to disable auto-balance - Type

mp_limitteams 0

to remove team limits

If your console isn't enabled yet, here's how to activate it: - Launch CS:GO - Go to Game Settings - Navigate to the "Game" tab - Set "Enable Developer Console" to "Yes" - Press Apply to save changes

For Server Admins: If you're running your own server, you can permanently disable auto-balance by: - Locate your server.cfg file - Add these lines:

        mp_autoteambalance 0         mp_limitteams 0        

- Save the file and restart your server

Important Notes: - These commands only work on private servers or when you have admin rights - Auto-balance cannot be disabled on official Valve servers - Changes will reset when the map changes unless added to server.cfg - Some community servers may override these settings

For optimal team management without auto-balance, I recommend using manual team switching or implementing a team scramble plugin if you're running a community server. This gives you more control over team composition while maintaining fair gameplay.

Remember that disabling auto-balance might lead to uneven teams, which could affect the overall gaming experience. Consider enabling it during competitive matches to ensure balanced gameplay.
