CS:GO - How to Select MatchMaking Server Region

This Guide will explain how you can select a specific Server Region for MatchMaking, Wingman, Dangerzone and basically every official Valve Server.

I found these Commands through my large experience with Counter Strike Mapping, Modding and General Knowledge.

Can i get Banned for this?

This is NOT bannable and will not result in a VAC Ban

It is done by only using commands which DON'T require sv_cheats 1 and are therefore available for everyone to use however they like.

Preparing

Open your console and type

 mm_dedicated_search_maxping 350 

This Command will allow you to search for MatchMaking Servers where you would have a ping of up to 350ms.

The next Command will allow us to select our own game server

 net_client_steamdatagram_enable_override 1 

If you want to go back to automatic server selection just type

 net_client_steamdatagram_enable_override 0 

Selecting the Server

Next up we will select the Server Region we want to play in

 sdr SDRClient_ForceRelayCluster <server> 

Instead of <server> you will type in your preferred server region

After you know which server you want type it's server code behind the Command.

 sdr SDRClient_ForceRelayCluster lux

Let's take Luxemburg with the server code "lux" as an example.

Starting a Match

When you start searching for a match you should open your console to check if everything works properly.
You should see this while searching for a game.

If everything worked correctly this should show up in the console as soon as you find a match.

You can see that the client (you) is requesting a session from lux#9.
This means everything worked and we are connecting to a game server in Luxemburg.
