What it is

CS2 Demo Analysis Kit includes DAK Studio, a free desktop platform for analyzing Counter-Strike 2 demos locally. It links statistics to the source match, round and tick, with a 2D replay for inspection. The app runs on the user’s machine without an account, upload or server. Its modules cover replay, player profiles, duels and mechanics, utility and economy, tournaments, and coach preparation. The built-in exporter imports .dem files or cs2-demo-format v3 ZIPs and parses them on the computer. Windows and macOS downloads include a DMG, installer and portable ZIP options. The full Windows portable ZIP includes the Cologne Major 2026 event package and map data; the core ZIP contains runtime only. The runtime rejects v2 packages, which must be re-exported with cs2df. DAK Studio is AGPL-3.0-only, while ecosystem packages and the Python shell are MIT licensed. The analysis layer is also consumed by RivalHub and CS2 Insight Agent.
