Important Notes:

  • Use self-kicking sparingly to avoid Trust Factor penalties
  • Success depends on teammate cooperation
  • Consider improving gameplay instead of leaving
  • Frequent kicks can affect future matchmaking
  • Always try to resolve issues before deciding to leave

Remember: While self-kicking provides an emergency exit, it's better to complete matches when possible to maintain good standing in the CS2 community.
