I couldn't find the answer in rules reference, in epic battles rules reference and anywhere else.

How many obstacles should be used in an epic 1v1 deathmatch? As far as I'm concerned, in the first edition, each player should take 6 obstacles and place two of them each time, that both of them are at range 2 of each other or something like that. Can anyone explain how it should be done in X-wing 2.0?

By "1v1 Deathmatch" Do you mean a standard game?

Rules Reference, pg 17

Place Obstacles: In player order, players take turns choosing an obstacle and placing it into the play area until all six obstacles have been placed. Obstacles must be placed beyond range 1 of each other and beyond range 2 of each edge of the play area.

For standard, non-tournament games, you pick from the entire pool of obstacles until there are 6.

For tournament games,

Tournament Regulation, pg 4

Quote

Each player must include exactly three unique obstacles of their choice in their squad. Players must select these obstacles from the asteroids and debris clouds available from official X-Wing products, including first edition products (except those found in Epic expansions). A player may not select two of the same obstacle.

Players must use the same squad and obstacles for the duration of the tournament.

They haven't updated the Tournament Regs in a while, so gas clouds are not listed, but i believe most are allowing them in play anyway because its assumed they would be allowed, just that the text isn't up to date.

But you know, I mean EPIC games. On 6'x 3' table.

Epic in 2.0 now means scenario/mission play, if you mean using Huge ships there are no formal rules for # of obstacles.

Epic gameplay isnt strictly 6x3. Epic format is just a different format that happens to work well with Huge Ships. Epic formatting has their own rules for obstacles based on the scenario you are playing.

Officially, there isn't a standard gameplay (or freeform epic scenario) that is just a 1v1 on a 6x3, so rules do not exist for it. Typically, people use 6 obstacles for every 3x3 sized area. So for a 6x3, use 12. But that isnt a written rule as you are basically making up your own game format, so run it how you want.
