Esports Game Log

A round-by-round kill feed with a live radar for CS2, or a live map of heroes and fights for Dota 2.

Esports Game Log is the in-game view: a CS2 kill feed round by round, next to a radar of where every player is, or a live Dota 2 map of heroes, buildings and fights. It's also where rounds you pick in the other esports widgets are replayed. It follows one match, so link it to a colour group with an esports market. Map tabs work as in Esports Match.

On CS2, the log lists rounds newest first. Each kill shows the weapon and a headshot mark, and Opening tags the round's first kill. The time on the right is the round clock, or the bomb timer after a plant. On the radar, players are dots in their side's colour, a cross marks where someone died, and trails show the paths taken this round.

On Dota 2, the map shows heroes with an HP ring, deaths with the seconds to respawn, buildings under attack and fights in progress. The ⓘ button opens the map key.

Using it

Replay a round (CS2)

The radar can redraw any round your board watched live: where everyone went, who died where, and where each player was last seen. You can ask for a round from three places:

  • the map icon next to a round in this log,
  • a round in the round strip or the lead chart of Esports Match,
  • Show on map in an opened round of the Esports Feed.

The Game Log switches to that map if needed, and the radar's header reads Round 14 · replay with who won it. Press Back to live to return; once the map is over it says Back to the end of the map. Rounds played before your board was open can't be replayed: their positions were never recorded. A page reload keeps what was.

Follow players

Hover a log line to light up its players on the radar, and click it to keep them lit. Click a name, or pick one under the radar, to follow that player: set Trails to selected and you'll see only their path. Picking one in Esports Players works too.

On Dota 2, hover a hero or an event to find it on the map, and click a hero for their card with items and abilities.

Tips

  • Keep the Game Log beside Esports Match. When a round moves the price on the lead chart, click it and watch on the radar how it was won.
  • In a clutch, pick the last player standing and set Trails to selected: you'll see exactly where they've been.
