For players
What players and team captains do, from sign-in to the end of a match.
This page is for players in a CS2 tournament. Organisers can send it to their teams as it is. For games where captains report the score, see Manual reporting.
Play a match
Sign in
Open the tournament address your organiser gave you, for example https://tournament.example.com, and sign in with any of the buttons, such as Steam, Discord or Google. You land on Home, which shows your next match. Your own profile is under My profile in the account menu.
For CS2, your account needs Steam: the server lets players in by Steam ID. If you signed in another way, open Account settings in the account menu and connect Steam.
If the page says you are not registered, ask the organiser to add you to your team. Some tournaments only allow players that the organiser added.
Wait for your match
Home shows your next match, and so do your profile, your team's page and the tournament's Overview. Each has an Open match room button: the match room is where you play the match from. The Your match button in the top bar always opens it too.
Before the organiser starts the tournament, the match room says the match is waiting. Keep the page open. It updates by itself when something happens.
Do the map veto
In best of 1, 3 and 5 matches, the two teams ban and pick maps in the match room. When it is your team's turn, the room shows YOUR TEAM'S TURN TO BAN A MAP (or to pick a map or a side). Click a map to choose it. Any player on the team can make the choice, so agree in your team who does it.
The order of bans and picks is in Map veto. Shuffle tournaments have no veto.
Join the server
When a server is ready, the match room shows it. Click Connect to Server to start CS2 and join. You can also click Copy Console Command and paste the command into the CS2 console. It looks like this:
connect 192.168.1.100:27015If no server is free yet, the match room says it is waiting for a server.
Type .ready
You are put on your team when you join. Type .ready (or .r) in the chat when you are ready. The match starts when all players are ready.
Play
During the match you can use chat commands such as .pause, .tech and .unpause. See Ready Up commands for the full list.
After the match
The result shows in the match room, on your profile and on your team's page. In a tournament, your next match appears on Home when it is ready.
The team page
Every team has a page at /team/<team-id>, for example https://tournament.example.com/team/navi. It shows the team's next match, the roster, the team's stats and its match history, and anyone with the link can open it. The veto and the join button are in the match room, which the team page links to.
Problems
- The veto buttons do not show. Check that you are signed in with the account that is on your team's roster. Ask the organiser to check the roster.
- The server does not let you in. Your account needs Steam connected, and it must be the Steam account on the roster.
- You cannot join the server. Copy the console command and paste it into the CS2 console. If it still fails, tell the organiser. They can move the match to another server.
- You joined the wrong team, or you are a substitute. The organiser can add you to the match from the match page.
