Actually, it's not always up to them. Tournament rules can restrict console use to prevent any unfair advantages or misuse. So, while they technically can, whether or not they're allowed depends on the event's rules.

Yeah, CS:GO pros can absolutely use the console during matches! It's a crucial tool for them. They use it to tweak settings for optimal performance, like adjusting their crosshair, viewmodel, and other preferences. It's all about getting that slight edge over the competition.

As a former semi-pro, I can tell you firsthand, using the console is game-changing. It lets us quickly adjust to different strategies or fix issues on the fly. Totally allowed, but yeah, always within the tournament guidelines.
