map is a console command that loads the specified map and starts a game on it.
Warning:For multiplayer games, this command will kick everyone from your server before changing the map, or does a hard change, so to speak. If you want to soft change your map from console use the changelevel command.Usage

Example: map de_dust2 deathmatch
Tip: 
The optional gamemode parameter can be deathmatch, casual, competitive, armsrace, coopstrike ..., see CS:GO Game Modes.Todo: A similar list exists for
