Just queue with friends from the region you wanna play in. If they host the game, you'll likely land in their local servers. Ezpz!

Honestly, just play where you're at. Changing servers with a VPN or playing on distant servers just messes with your ping and ruins the experience for everyone.

Changing your CS:GO server location isn't a straightforward option in the game itself, but you can use a VPN to appear from a different region. This tricks the game into placing you in servers of that region. Just remember, a VPN can increase your ping, so choose one with servers close to your desired location!

You can't directly change server locations in CS:GO because the matchmaking system automatically places you based on your local region. However, using console commands to set a max ping limit can sometimes influence which servers you join. Just type 'mm_dedicated_search_maxping [value]' in the console, with '[value]' being your maximum acceptable ping in milliseconds. Lower values may lead you to more local servers.
