Why you would do that ?

CSGO devs have made own game mode settings: gamemode_competitive.cfg
which over take cvars what you change in server.cfg.

So, CSGO devs made also override config file: gamemode_competitive_server.cfg
to over take cvars what gamemode_competitive.cfg change.

You can read/look from gamemodes.txt
