1v1 Deathmatch with Bot or Player - Recommended CSGO Workshop Map

If you are looking for a small and fun 1v1 deathmatch or aim map for Counter-Strike: Global Offensive, this is what I would recommend. 

1v1 Aim_map

This in my opinion is the best I have tried for 1v1 or more with players or even bots. Practicing aim or warming up before entering a match on this map is even better after Valve's updates on improving Bots' behaviors.



Access to this workshop map is through link below:

I usually warm up 1v1 with a bot(or more) on this map with these commands:
  • sv_cheats 1
  • mp_roundtime 60
  • mp_buy_allow_grenades 1 (optional)

After loading the map and before selecting a team, run commands above and also bot_kick to remove all bots first. After that select a team and run command bot_add to add a bot.

Simple Free VPN software for PC and Phone

A very simple VPN program I have used is Psiphon. In this post I am going to talk about Psiphon for PC. It requires only few clicks and you are connected to the VPN server. The installation is also straightforward. 


There are paid and free versions. The free version has a limited speed connection however you are free to connect for as long as you want. If I remember correctly, the mobile app has a limited speed of 2mbps so I am assuming it is the same for PC. The paid version gives you speed boost by purchasing PsiCash located at the bottom left corner of the psiphon window.




There are 24 available countries that provide servers for psiphon.

Other CSGO Binds That Might Be Helpful

You can find many important Counter Strike Global Offensive (CSGO) binds on the internet but here I want to share my binds for this awesome game.

Quick Drop Gun Switch
alias +drop "drop"
alias -drop "slot1"
bind g "+drop"

Note that cl_autoweapswitch is set to 0. The purpose of this bind is to automatically switch to the new primary gun (Slot 1) when you drop your previous primary gun. This only works if you are close to the gun that you are planning to pick up.



Auto-inspect knife
alias +knifeinspect "slot3"
alias -knifeinspect "+lookatweapon"
bind 3 "+knifeinspect"

With this bind you only need to press button 3 and it will inspect the knife when the button is released. However this might not work if you have high ping.

Middle Range Grenade Throw
alias +midthrow "+attack;+attack2"
alias -midthrow "-attack;-attack2"
bind alt "+midthrow"

Note that I use "alt" button for this. This bind is helpful to prevent myself from messing up the middle range throw. This bind may not work if pressed very quickly as it will just simply do a left-click throw.


Stop Google Chrome Auto-Update

Getting the latest Chrome version is important for security reasons and performance improvement. However there are reasons for some people decided not to update and stay on the old version regardless of the better security provided for the newest one, such as compatibility issue of Internet Download Manager for example. 

To install and use an older version of Chrome is quite easy however we need to be quick as Chrome will check and install its newest version automatically. 



First step is to uninstall current Google Chrome from the computer and download the old version from the link below. 


When done installing the older version, Chrome will open but just close it. Quickly disconnect the internet to prevent it from auto-updating, or open task manager and go to services and search for gupdate and stop the service. This is the service that will check for update and then download the latest chrome. 


Next step is to go to Chrome's "Update" folder which by default is at:

Local Disk(C) > Program Files > Google > Update -- (For 32bit computer)
Local Disk(C) > Program Files (x86) > Google > Update -- (For 64bit computer)

Delete GoogleUpdate application. If you could not delete the application, make sure gupdate service is stopped first.


If you wish to go back to the auto-update chrome, simply download and reinstall a new Chrome.

Video below is an example of stopping chrome update.
