CS2 Demo Analysis Kit includes DAK Studio, a local-first desktop platform for analyzing Counter-Strike 2 demos. It connects statistics to the source match, round and tick, with a 2D replay for inspection. The application runs on the user’s machine without an account, upload or server. Its modules cover replay, player profiles, duels and mechanics, utility and economy analysis, tournaments and coach preparation. The built-in exporter imports .dem files or cs2-demo-format v3 ZIPs and parses them locally. Downloads include a macOS DMG, a Windows installer and Windows portable ZIP packages. The full Windows portable ZIP includes the Cologne Major 2026 event package and map data; the core ZIP contains runtime only. The runtime does not accept v2 packages, which must be re-exported with cs2df. DAK Studio is free and licensed AGPL-3.0-only; ecosystem packages and the Python shell are MIT licensed. Its analysis layer is also consumed by RivalHub and CS2 Insight Agent.
Who it is for
It suits Counter-Strike 2 players, coaches and tournament analysts who want to inspect demo statistics locally. Its round-and-tick links support workflows where a specific event needs replay review.
