Setting up a practice server in CS:GO is surprisingly simple! First, you'll want to enable the developer console in the game settings. Next, launch a game with bots from the main menu. Once you're in, open up the console with the ~ key. You can then use various commands to customize your practice session. For instance, 'bot_kick' to remove all bots, and 'sv_cheats 1' to enable cheats like 'noclip' to fly around or 'god' to become invulnerable. Don't forget 'mp_limitteams 0' and 'mp_autoteambalance 0' to prevent auto team balancing. This way, you can set up the perfect environment for whatever you're practicing, be it grenade throws, map strategies, or aim training.

Who even sets up practice servers anymore? Just hop into deathmatch. Real players, real chaos. Best practice you can get.

Honestly, just download a workshop map for practice. Maps like 'Aim Botz' or 'Recoil Master' are perfect for warming up or practicing your aim and spray control. It's way easier than fiddling with console commands. You get a variety of settings and targets to practice on, making it super user-friendly for both beginners and pros.
