CARL2 Analysis Tool vs CS2 Demo Analysis Kit

CARL2 Analysis Tool is a free Windows desktop companion for Rocket League players, coaches, and casters. It analyzes replay files from Steam, Epic Games, or any folder, extracting statistics, movement data, boost events, and in-game actions in 10 to 30 seconds. The replay library supports bulk processing, searches by player or team, date filters, and custom labels. Single-game analysis includes shot maps, an expected-goals model, player timelines, interaction data, boost maps, movement heatmaps, and 3D path maps. Series views aggregate games for team comparisons, win-versus-loss analysis, and game-by-game stat changes. Single-game exports are available as CSV, JSON, or Markdown; series exports are CSV or JSON, with a ZIP option. Live modes include replay control, monitoring, coach tools, and a caster-focused view. Real-time stats can appear as a browser-source overlay in OBS or another capture tool. The current version supports BakkesMod and Easy Anti-Cheat. Installation instructions require BakkesMod first, followed by CARL2 and email account confirmation.

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.
