Custom Team Logos, Names and Flags in CS:GO

How to create professional-looking demos and CSGO GOTV streams

In this guide/tutorial we will learn you how to set up custom team names, team logos, team flags, match stats and match odds in Counter-Strike Global Offensive. With these simple console commands, you can set up the team settings on the spectator screen to look like the CS:GO majors/championships. This can be used to create professional-looking demos or GOTV streams. This might also be cool if you are going to play a clan match and want it customized for potential viewers.

Requirements – how to get started

1. Setup or host a server – make sure it is with Competetive game type.
2. Type in the commands in the console or in the server config.
3. To view the flags and team names, you have to spectate the game.

Example of custom team names, flags, and logos:

Setup team names

To give the teams a team name, use the following commands in the console:

• mp_teamname_1 “Team name for team 1”
• mp_teamname_2 “Team name for team 2”

The team name can be anything you chose. Team 1 is Counter-Terrorists and team 2 is Terrorists.

Example:

• mp_teamname_1 “Fnatic”
• mp_teamname_2 “NiP”

Setup team logos

If you want to use your own team logo, I will recommend you to do it with a plugin. Logos are client-side, so you need the plugin so that the viewers will automatically download the custom logos. Check the Team Logo Manager for this purpose.

If you don’t want to download the logo manager, you can use the existing team logos stored in the game. There are both old and new teams.

To set a team logo, use the following commands in the console:

• mp_teamlogo_1 “Short name for team 1”
• mp_teamlogo_2 “Short name for team 2”

Example:

• mp_teamlogo_1 “nip”
• mp_teamlogo_2 “vp”

Setup team flags

To include a team flag behind the team logo, use the following commands in the console:

• mp_teamflag_1 “ISO CODE”
• mp_teamflag_2 “ISO CODE”

You want to replace ISO CODE with the ISO code for your desired country. Again team 1 is CT and team 2 is T.

Example:

• mp_teamflag_1 “se”
• mp_teamflag_2 “pl”

We have included a full list of ISO codes for every country below. Please note that many of these ISO codes will not work, because Valve doesn’t have every country implemented in the game.

Setup match stats

Match stats are shown below the team names and current scores to all spectators and GOTV viewers. By default they show up for 5 seconds at the start of each round.

To use match stats you will need the following commands

• mp_teammatchstat_txt
• mp_teammatchstat_1
• mp_teammatchstat_2

To change the default time of how long the stats are shown, use this command:

• mp_teammatchstat_holdtime [time in seconds]

Example usage

• mp_teammatchstat_txt “Match 5 of 10”
• mp_teammatchstat_1 “3”
• mp_teammatchstat_2 “2”

You can write what you want in the match stats, for example you could also use something like this:

• mp_teammatchstat_txt “Finals”
• mp_teammatchstat_1 “Challenger”
• mp_teammatchstat_2 “Champion”

Setup match odds

Besides match stats, you can also add odds. The odds are shown below the names and flags and by default odds are shown for 5 seconds as with match stats.

Commands:

• mp_teamprediction_txt
• mp_teamprediction_pct

The first command is a string, which means you can input any text you want. The second command is used to set the odd percentage for team 1, it will automatically calculate the odds for team 2.

Example:

• mp_teamprediction_txt “CSGO Lounge Odds”
• mp_teamprediction_pct 60

End result

The end results will be your own name, logo, and flag for the teams.
