How to Use Match Predictions
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.
The Match Card
Each match card on the main page shows:
- Teams — with logos, HLTV rankings, and clickable names leading to team profiles
- Lineups — 5 players per team with photos, each clickable to their player profile
- Time — match start time (converted to your local timezone)
- Event — tournament name with star rating (more stars = bigger event)
- Predictions — model outputs shown as percentage cards on the right
Reading the Prediction Cards
Each small card represents one AI model's prediction:
- Top label — model name (e.g., ORACL, APEX, TIER)
- Percentage — how confident the model is in the predicted winner (always shown as the higher side, e.g., 67%)
- Bottom label — which team the model predicts to win
- Lock icon — model requires Basic or Pro subscription
Color Coding
Prediction percentages are color-coded:
- Green (70%+) — high confidence, the model sees a clear advantage
- Yellow (60-70%) — moderate confidence, edge exists but upset possible
- Red/Gray (50-60%) — low confidence, close match
Predictions between 48-52% are hidden (shown as 50/50) because they carry no useful signal.
The Consensus Bar
Below the team names, a colored bar shows the overall consensus across all models:
- If the bar is mostly on one side (e.g., 70/30), most models agree — stronger signal
- If it's close to 50/50, models disagree — uncertain match, proceed with caution
Match Detail Page
Click any match to see the full detail page with:
- All model predictions — not just the top 15
- Model accuracy badges — how accurate each model has been historically
- Player lineups — clickable to individual player profiles with tactical radars
- Team links — clickable to team pages with roster analysis and match history
- Wager pool — community predictions with odds
After the Match
Once a match completes:
- The result appears on the Results page
- Each prediction is scored — correct (green check) or wrong (red cross)
- Model accuracy on the leaderboard updates immediately
- ELO ratings recalculate, improving future predictions
Tips for Best Results
- Follow consensus — when 15+ models agree, they're usually right
- Check the leaderboard — not all models are equal, some are consistently better
- Watch for model disagreement — if TIER says 75% Team A but MIND says 60% Team B, the match is genuinely uncertain
- Consider the tier — we only show predictions for Top & Major matches where accuracy is highest
- Look at player profiles — check the tactical radar to understand each team's playstyle
