I'm not all-too familiar with the professional competitive CS:GO scene (or shooters in general) but I occasionally play some shooters.
Now in professional RTS/MOBA tournaments the players are often allowed to ban certain elements of the game or some elements/strategies are even forbidden by the tournament rules. I wanted to know whether there are some specific rules in CS:GO tournaments that disallow the use of certain weapons and/or tactics (Camping/Bunnyhopping for example) and also if the teams have an opportunity to ban certain weapons.

As far as i know ( I watched a couple of them ), there are almost no limitations.
Camping and similar tactics are part of the game and are abolutely necessary.
Other tactics like crouching, getting one player to jump on you and then jumping together to push him on the roof are allowed as well and are used as much as they can.
The only time i witnessed problems are when they found a leak in the map where you could see through the wall.
Every weapon can be used.
CS:GO is designed to be as competetive as possible, banning weapons would ruin this. Also, there are no problems with skins or whatsoever ( unlike some LoL skins )
