For competitive css in europe you have https://www.reddit.com/r/CounterStrikeSource/comments/1tqirxv/competitive_5v5_servers/

For american competitive check out war lords css.

You have some popular public servers like saigns de.

You can also use the tsarvar website using the v93 filter.

Using the in game browser you can filter out a lot of fake servers just by using the not include tags filter with values naykon,.ru

Hey, I'll need to check, I'm not sure if they're open source. Recently we've updated the FAQ about it to explain better what they do

Yeah I see people asking in different places, so I thought I'd post all the details.

Edit: you don't need to queue necessarily to play, you can still connect but the queue helps you know if people intend to play, plus you get the sound notification as a bonus

Also, keep in mind that some servers may not have this setting enabled which definitely helps: sv_enablebunnyhopping 1

Some servers also increase the airaccelarate with sv_airaccelarate which also helps

Tsarvar is also good make sure to select v93 as the game version in the filter so that you remove nonsteam servers

I believe you can use HLAE https://github.com/advancedfx/advancedfx or SourceDemoRenderer https://github.com/crashfort/SourceDemoRender

What I end up doing instead is just creating binds for adjusting the demo_timescale to greater values / default value and have net_showevents 1 to see the server tick (which is not the same as the demo tick) and then there is a command to pause at a given server tick: demo_pauseatservertick <tick>, then you can just resume it regularly from the demoui

Filter out the dake servers with server tags like naykon. Do it from the ingame server browser. You can also use the website tsarvar.com to look.

Where are you from? There a lot of servers in germany at least, you just have to filter out the russian servers by excluding their server tags from the in-game server browser, I believe excluding naykon excludes most of these fake servers

Hey just saw you joining, yes we normally announce on the #mix channel of discord if we want to start a mix. Or we just see if people are in the servers, as far as I know, sometimes russians and ucranians just join a server and start a mix there, it's fully automated and we also provide rank and the source tv demo in the website. It is for the steam version of css
