CS2 is a game about precision. We obsess over statistical measurements in CS, headshot average percentages, kill/death ratios, entry success percentages, it goes on and on.
Any game as technical as Counter-Strike really thrives off of being able to measure performance so that there’s a clear path to improvement. Collecting the stats can be a challenge in itself, so here are some of our recommendations for the best ways to use a CS2 stats tracker to help you get your game where you want to be.
The main way to do this is by using a third-party CS2 stats tracker. There are many available online, and it’s up to you which one you use. Some players prefer these third-party trackers, as they track a few CS2 stats that the official one doesn’t. For example, some third-party trackers will track VAC and Overwatch bans of players you’ve played with. This can be useful if you think you’ve had a bad game, when actually you’ve just been playing with a cheater. This would essentially render a lot of the stats from that game useless, and you shouldn’t be taking them into account when analyzing your own performance.
Third-party sites usually require you to connect your Steam account, so use them at your own risk.
There’s plenty of choice with regards to stat trackers people like to use:
Sometimes trackers like Blitz.gg are the most convenient for players, as they can be used across a variety of games. If you’ve got friends coming over from games like CS2 and learning Counter-Strike, this could be something they’re familiar with and help them learn more quickly.
Other options include the ever-popular tracker.gg, which often serves as the most convenient tool to look up players and games outside of the CS client and using CS2 360 Stats. It’s convenient because the access on mobile devices helps you stay on top of the info you need regardless of where you might be while you’re doing your prep.
Finally, there are services like Leetify (founded by pro player ZywOo!) that can generate reports and profiles for players based on their recent game results. If you and a group of friends want to try to climb together, Leetify also offers something that’s less frequently seen in the world of stats trackers, which is a discord bot so that you can access it inside the server you share with friends. Quick commands to pull up info can help make it convenient to share info mid game.
Ultimately, you should decide which stats tracker to use based on your own needs. If you’re a casual player, you probably won’t need to pay for a detailed analysis. But if you’re serious about rising the ranks, the study of the game is just as essential as practice and there’s no better place to start than with your own stats. For just $0.99 monthly, the official stat tracker is our recommended tool for players new to CS2 stat tracking.
Previously, in CS:GO players could use the in-game stat tracker, CS:GO 360 Stats. This cost $0.99 a month to access but was done completely through the in-game menus. CS:GO 360 Stats provided a detailed overview of your games over a specified period of time, giving an in-depth analysis of your plays. For example, CS:GO 360 Stats showed how often you were successful in a clutch scenario.
This CS stat can be extremely useful, as it could inform how often you save instead of attempting a clutch. It even had detailed kill/death ratio details for each weapon, with heatmaps for your most common action zones on the map. It was a powerful tool that could be massively useful when learning how to get better at CS.
CS:GO 360 Stats was the best official way to track your stats.
Unfortunately, this feature was removed with the launch of CS2, and it remains to be seen if it will return in the future.
Alternatively, you can also use the in-game match replay page to track a few basic stats. This page will only track your last few games unless you download them, however it can provide a round-by-round analysis of what rounds you got your kills in during competitive CS2 matches. If you’re particularly good on the CT side, this is the screen where you’ll be able to see that. From here, you can watch back your matches, and find out step-by-step how you pulled off your greatest clips. Best of all – it’s completely free.
It all depends on the data that you take into account, as well as the sample size. For example, if you’re throwing a nade into a certain area every round to try and deal damage, but the heat maps are showing that it almost never hits, why would you continue to throw it? You can still buy the nade, and just use it in another area where it has more effect. Tracking CS2 stats like this might seem to have a micro-effect on your game, but CS can be a game of small margins.
How does tracking my CS stats make me better at the game?
Many third-party stat trackers do track FACEIT matches, and actually differentiate them from your other CS2 stats. While not every player uses FACEIT, for those that do, third-party sites are likely to be your best bet here.
Can I track my FACEIT games CS stats in the same way?
Honestly – probably not. Tracking CS2 stats is only worth it if you play lots, and are committed to getting better. If you take it seriously, it can be a really analytical process, which is certainly not going to be for everyone. Because of the growing competitive scene for CS2, it’s easy to forget there’s room for casual players too.
I don't play often - is it worth tracking my CS2 Stats?
Once you have taken a look at your stats, your focus should then move to comparing them against your replays. Stats are just numbers on a screen, but seeing how they actually correlate to your CS2 matches is an equally important part of the process. For example, you’re throwing a Molotov down Inferno banana every round, but it never burns anyone. Why is that? You might watch your replay, only to find that it’s because you’re not quite throwing it right, and then you’re able to adjust accordingly.
I've looked at my stats - how do I actually use them?
