Why Run a Dedicated CS2 Server?

  • 128 Tick Rate: Professional servers run at 128 tick for the most responsive gameplay experience.
  • Full Control: Customize maps, plugins, and gameplay modes to match your community's needs.
  • Practice Environment: Perfect for team practice, scrims, and competitive matches.

Note: CS2 requires more system resources than CS:GO. Subtick v2 networking is extremely sensitive to CPU jitterβ€”high-frequency dedicated cores are required for competitive stability.

Dominate the competitive scene. Host your CS2 server with Supercraft and experience 128-tick gameplay with premium network performance.
