Unpack and play.
Thou I'm not sure of a non-steam server where you would have low ping.
Here are some servers I usually play at.

There, in "Playing" put Counter-strike, in "within" something like 1000km and in "Server with" type no-steam or non steam so it could find every server near you which support non steam players. And usually there are a lot of this kind.=D
