NewMatch review

Every match you play, read from the demo

The scoreboard says what happened. The demo says why. We fetch the demo of each Premier, Competitive and Wingman match and read it shot by shot: who had whom in view, how far your crosshair had to move, how fast you were going when you fired and what every grenade did.

Tools built around what the pros use

Every tool runs in your browser and ties back to the pro data on this site: compare your crosshair, sensitivity and lineups against the players you watch.

Fresh from the demos

Pros whose crosshair changed in a recent official match. Each code is read from the demo itself.

Everything in one place

Matches, events, teams and players link to each other, so a score on the board leads to the bracket, the roster and every player's settings.

What is CS2 Buddy?

CS2 Buddy is an independent Counter-Strike 2 site that puts the pro scene and your own practice side by side. One half follows the game: live scores, schedules, tournament brackets, Valve's team rankings and a profile for every tracked pro with their crosshair, mouse, video and gear settings. The other half is about your own play: a review of every matchmaking game, read from its demo, and tools for the practice you do outside a match, with a crosshair generator that has a real in-game preview, a sensitivity converter and a smoke practice notebook.

The two halves feed each other. Pro crosshair codes are read out of recent match demos, so when a player changes their setup the new code shows up here with the match it was first seen in. Pro demos are read for stats the same way yours are, so your rating, aim and grenade numbers sit beside the pro average and your review names the pro you play most like. The sensitivity converter shows which pros share your eDPI, and every team page lists its roster's crosshairs ready to load into the editor.

Everything is free. Only match review needs a Steam sign-in; the rest works without an account, and anything you save, such as followed teams, stays on your device.

Common questions

How does match review work?

Sign in with Steam and paste two codes from Steam's help site, which let a site read your list of match share codes and nothing else. We fetch each match's demo and read every player's stats from it, usually within a few minutes. Valve keeps demos for about a month, so older matches can't be reviewed. Set it up or read what we store.

Where does the data come from?

Match schedules, scores and tournament results come from PandaScore. Team rankings are Valve's own Regional Standings. Crosshair codes are read from match demos and checked against published settings; mouse, video and gear settings come from prosettings.net and Liquipedia, as do photos and logos. Grenade lineups are read from pro match demos.

How up to date is it?

Scores refresh every minute while you have the page open, tournaments every few minutes, rankings whenever Valve publishes a new table, and crosshair codes as new demos are processed. Each pro profile shows when its settings were last confirmed.

Can using these tools get me banned?

No. Crosshair codes, console commands and practice configs are standard CS2 features. Practice commands like sv_cheats only work on your own offline server, never in matchmaking.
