We've added 2 new consensus models to CS2PREDICT: NEXUS and TRIBUNAL. Both were discovered through live data analysis — optimizing over real pre-match predictions with zero data leakage.
Unlike base models that compute predictions independently from raw team stats, consensus models act as filters on top of existing models. They only make a prediction when multiple models agree with high confidence. The result: fewer predictions, but significantly higher accuracy.
NEXUS — APEX + ORACLE both >65% same direction
The sharpest double confirmation on the site. NEXUS only activates when both APEX and ORACLE are strongly aligned — meaning two independent multi-factor models see the same outcome with high conviction. In backtesting on live top-tier matches: 100% accuracy on 12 predictions.
TRIBUNAL — OPEN + PRO + ORACLE all >55% same direction
A three-model consensus built around ORACLE as the anchor, confirmed by both the OPEN and PRO predictors. These three models use different feature sets — when all three agree, the signal is remarkably consistent. In backtesting on live top-tier matches: 100% accuracy on 11 predictions.
The 100% accuracy figures are from a small sample of top-tier matches — treat them as promising early signals, not guarantees. Both models will fire rarely by design: NEXUS requires two models at 65%+ confidence, TRIBUNAL requires three at 55%+. Expect 1–3 predictions per week on top-tier matches.
As live data accumulates over the coming weeks, you'll see real accuracy statistics on each model's page.
NEXUS and TRIBUNAL are available for Pro subscribers.

CS2PREDICT lets you test your CS2 knowledge by predicting match outcomes. Use your account balance to place predictions on upcoming matches and earn payouts when you're right.
All predictions on a match go into a shared pool. Below each match you'll see:
Odds are calculated from the pool distribution, not from AI predictions:
Odds update in real-time as more users place predictions.
When the match completes:
Predictions lock when the match starts (goes LIVE). You cannot change or cancel a prediction after it's locked. Plan ahead — place your predictions before match start.
Check your balance in the top-right corner of the site. To add funds:

| Basic | More models unlocked, predictions up to $50 |
| Pro | All models + detailed analytics, predictions up to $500 |
See Subscription page for current pricing.
Your active predictions appear on each match card (below the pool info). Past results are visible on the Results page — check which of your predictions were correct.
Every upcoming match on CS2PREDICT shows predictions from multiple AI models. This guide explains how to read the match page and make the most of the data.
Each match card on the main page shows:
Each small card represents one AI model's prediction:
Prediction percentages are color-coded:
Predictions between 48-52% are hidden (shown as 50/50) because they carry no useful signal.

Once a match completes:
CS2PREDICT uses multiple independent AI models to predict the outcome of professional CS2 matches. Each model analyzes different aspects of the game — from pure skill ratings to psychological momentum to team chemistry. No single model is perfect, but together they provide a comprehensive view of each matchup.
When a new match appears on HLTV, our system automatically:
| ELO family ELO, ELOHQ, ELOFACE, TIER, TIER2, TIER3 | Skill-based ratings. ELO tracks overall team strength. TIER variants focus on top-30 teams where data is richest. ELOFACE adds training activity signals. |
| Form & H2H OPEN, PRO, MAJOR, FORM | Combine HLTV ranking with recent form, head-to-head history, and match format. PRO and MAJOR are tuned for high-stakes events. |
| Psychology MIND, STREAK | Track mental state — tilt from losing streaks, momentum from winning streaks, recovery patterns after losses. |
| Player-based SQUAD, SOS, WR10 | Analyze individual player performance. SQUAD uses per-player ratings. SOS factors in opponent strength. WR10 focuses on win rate against top-10 teams. |
| Ensemble APEX, PHANTOM, ORACLE, EAGLE | Combine multiple signals. ORACLE blends ELO + form + tilt + SOS. EAGLE adds win rate data. These combine multiple signals for higher accuracy. |
Results are checked every 10 minutes. When a match completes:
We classify matches into tiers based on team rankings and tournament importance:
All data comes from HLTV.org — the authoritative source for professional CS2 statistics. We collect match results, player box scores, team rankings, and tactical profiles (Rating 3.0 radar). Data refreshes every 5 minutes for matches and daily for player profiles.
Each player profile on CS2PREDICT shows a tactical radar with 7 metrics scored from 0 to 100. These come from HLTV's Rating 3.0 system and represent the player's style and strengths over the past 3 months.
| Firepower | Raw fragging power — kills per round, damage output, multi-kills. High firepower = the player wins aim duels and gets kills consistently. |
| Entrying | How often the player enters sites first on T-side. High entrying = aggressive entry fragger who creates space for the team. Usually dies first but opens rounds. |
| Trading | How well the player trades kills — getting a kill right after a teammate dies. High trading = good team player who ensures no death goes unpunished. |
| Opening | Success rate in opening duels — the first fight of each round. High opening = wins the critical first engagement, giving the team a numbers advantage. |
| Clutching | Win rate in 1vN situations (1v1, 1v2, 1v3, etc.). High clutching = calm under pressure, can close out rounds alone. The "clutch factor." |
| Sniping | AWP proficiency — kill rate and impact with the sniper rifle. High sniping = dedicated AWPer. Most players score 0 here; only AWPers score high. |
| Utility | Effectiveness with grenades — flash assists, smoke placements, HE/molotov damage. High utility = structured, tactical player who helps the team through utility, not just aim. |
A well-rounded team typically has:
Teams with balanced radar across all players tend to be more consistent. Teams with one extremely high firepower player and low stats elsewhere are "star-dependent" — if the star underperforms, the team collapses.
See a live player profile: ZywOo — one of the highest-rated players in CS2 history. Notice his extreme Firepower and Sniping scores.
Tactical profiles update daily at 02:00 UTC. The metrics reflect the last 3 months of competitive play on HLTV.
We've added 4 new prediction models to CS2PREDICT, bringing the total to 21 AI models. Each was discovered through automated optimization across 3,400+ feature combinations tested against 667 completed matches.
APEX — ELO + Form + Streak + Strength of Schedule
Balanced model optimized for the best accuracy-to-coverage ratio. Combines team rating with current momentum, win/loss streaks, and opponent difficulty. 66% accuracy, 60% coverage.
ORACLE — ELO + ELOHQ + Form + Tilt + SOS
Five-factor model that adds psychological pressure (tilt) and dual ELO systems. Performs best when teams have clear form differences. 69% accuracy, 51% coverage.
EAGLE — Rank + ELO + ELOHQ + Form + WinRate
High-confidence model that combines three ranking signals with team form. Predicts less frequently but with strong conviction. 77% accuracy, 14% coverage.
PHANTOM — ELO + TierELO + WinRate + Tilt
Maximum accuracy model. Only makes predictions when all signals align strongly. When PHANTOM speaks, it's almost always right. 92% accuracy, 6% coverage.
All four models are currently in calibration mode — they need at least 10 confident predictions before appearing in the model rankings. You can already see their predictions on individual match pages.
The new models are available exclusively for Pro subscribers.
The Model Leaderboard ranks all AI models by their prediction accuracy on Top-tier matches. It's a live scoreboard — accuracy updates after every completed match.
Models are colored on a gradient from green (best accuracy) to red (worst). The color updates dynamically as accuracy changes — if a model goes on a hot streak, it moves up and turns greener.
New models show a pulsing orange dot and "calibrating" status until they have at least 10 predictions. This prevents ranking models based on too few data points.
No single model is always right. The best strategy is to look at consensus — when most models agree, the prediction is usually reliable. When models disagree sharply, the match is genuinely uncertain.
Check the leaderboard regularly — the best model this week might not be the best next week. Form matters for models too.
