How to remove BOT prefix
  1. Download Source 2 Viewer: https://valveresourceformat.github.io/
  2. Drag \game\csgo\pak01_dir.vpk into the Source 2 Viewer
  3. Extract a correct localization into an empty folder keeping the same hierarchy
    My game language is English, so I extract resource/csgo_english.txt into an empty folder

    The final path should look like: <empty folder>/resource/csgo_english.txt

  4. Open extracted csgo_english.txt, find SFUI_bot_decorated_name lines and remove BOT prefix like this:

    Save changes!
  5. Pack the empty folder into .vpk using Source 2 Viewer

    Save changes!

BOT prefix appeared again, what to do

Each time you verify or update the game, it resets csgo_enlish.txt and gameinfo.gi files
If you want to hide the BOT prefix again, just repeat the tutorial from the beginning
