We've all seen it happen: a lairy player calling a vote to kick themselves out of a game. And we've probably all wondered: how did they do that? For many, the question remains a rhetoric, having left their thoughts just as quickly as they pressed F1 or F2. For others, such as yourself, it's something you seek an answer to - perhaps out of curiosity, or perhaps that you can be the one to vote kick yourself from a game in the future. Whatever your destiny, you're in the right place - because this article has all the answers..

Kicking yourself from a CS:GO match requires the developer console - to use this, you'll need to enable it. You can do this by going to your CS:GO settings, then "Game Settings", and then select "Yes" on the "Enable Developer Console" dropdown. If you're struggling to enable it, check out our enabling the developer console guide for more help. You can open the developer console after enabling it by pressing the ` or ~ key on your keyboard.
Once you've got the developer console open, type the following command into the console:
status Copy

After retrieving those two numbers, add them to the end of the following command:
callvote kick Copy
So, to kick ourselves, using the numbers highlighted in the image above, the console command would look like this:
callvote kick 954 15 Copy
Here's an image of what would happen after using that console command:
That's all there is to this guide on how to call a vote kick for yourself - use your new-found power wisely. If you want to view more cool tips and guides for CS:GO, check out our guides page.
