Absolutely, you need an original copy of CS:GO to play online! The game checks for a valid license through Steam when you try to connect to online servers. Plus, having the original means you get all the updates and can play without worrying about getting banned.

Nope, you just need Steam and you're good to go. CS:GO went free-to-play so anyone can download it directly from Steam and start playing online immediately. Enjoy!

Definitely get it from Steam. Besides being the safest option, you also get to join the massive community legit. And remember, playing the original helps support the devs!
