How to analyse a CS2 match demo in your browser

Get a scoreboard with K/D/A, headshot share and ADR from a Premier or Competitive .dem file without uploading it anywhere.

STEP 01

Why Valve matches need a demo file

Valve does not offer a public API for Premier or Competitive match scoreboards, so a website cannot look them up by link the way it can for FACEIT. The match demo, a .dem recording of the whole game, is the reliable source for those modes.

STEP 02

Download the demo from the game

In CS2, open the Watch section, choose Your Matches, select the match and press Download. Recent matches are listed for a limited time only, so save a demo soon after the game if you want to keep it. The file is stored in the game’s folders with a .dem extension.

STEP 03

Open it in the match tracker

Choose the Premier or Competitive tab in the NEXFRAG match tracker and select the .dem file. The file is read by a parser that runs inside your browser; it is not uploaded to NEXFRAG or to any other server, which is also why large files open quickly.

STEP 04

Read the report

The report shows the detected mode, map, final score and a scoreboard for both teams with kills, deaths, assists, headshot share and average damage per round. ADR is often a steadier measure of impact than K/D, because it also counts damage that did not end in a kill.

STEP 05

Know the limits

A demo describes one match. The report does not show rating changes, does not judge decisions and cannot detect cheating. If the file is incomplete or from an unsupported format, the tracker says so rather than filling the gaps with estimated numbers.

Quick checklist

  1. Download the demo from Watch → Your Matches soon after the match.
  2. Open the match tracker and pick the Premier or Competitive tab.
  3. Select the .dem file; it stays on your device.
  4. Compare ADR and headshot share across both teams, not only K/D.
