Can you be kicked for idling during the warmup in an official competitive match?

I am wondering because I usually am warmed up, and I want to idle through warm up because of a computer problem.( don't be nosy please ) Will I still get kicked by console for no activity?


Solution 1:

Warmup, by definition, lasts for 5:00 in an official competitive match. When all players have connected, that timer drops to 1:00.

There are different possibilities for getting kicked, but idling doesn't get you kicked directly. Your teammates can vote to kick you.

Reasons you can be kicked:

  • You are kicked due to Steam issues (No Steam logon)
  • You are votekicked by your teammates
  • You are kicked for having damaged/killed too many teammates throughout the match.
  • You trigger a VAC ban
