To lower the round start time in CS:GO, you gotta dive into the world of console commands. Open the console (usually by hitting the `~` key) and type 'mp_roundtime_defuse 1' or 'mp_roundtime_hostage 1' (depending on the game mode) to set the round time to 1 minute. You can replace '1' with any number of minutes you prefer. Don't forget, these changes work best in private matches cause public servers might not be too happy with ya changing the flow of the game!

Honestly, why mess with perfection? The default round times are there for a reason - to keep the game balanced!

I play a lot of custom games with my friends, and we always adjust the round start times. Super easy with console commands. Makes the game faster and we get more matches in. Just remember, everyone needs to be cool with the change.

Just change it in the game settings menu before you start the match. It's way easier and you don't have to mess with console commands.
