Forward-looking CS2 analytics.

People are trading on CS2 outcomes every day of the year. Kalshi, Polymarket, Underdog and a number of other operators all cover it. The volume is serious and growing. What is missing is analysis from someone who actually watches the matchups and understands the game at a high level.

I have followed pro Counter-Strike for over 20 years and played it competitively. If the Super Bowl and a CS2 Grand Final were on at the same time, I'd watch the Grand Final. And I absolutely LOVE the NFL. That passion and game knowledge is what separates a genuine read from a number pulled off a stat sheet.

Before this I was the long-serving Director of Content at RotoGrinders, one of the first full-time hires building DFS and sports betting coverage.

In 2006, Congress carved fantasy sports out of federal online gambling law on the basis that they are a game of skill, not chance. The name is a nod to that ruling. Daily fantasy sports grew out of that carve-out, legal sports betting followed in 2018, and prediction markets came next. For Counter-Strike in the US, the markets that matter are pick'em apps and prediction market exchanges, and this site covers the game across both.
