FACEIT Recap: Your CS2 Year in Numbers

Spotify tells you your year in music. Steam tells you your year in hours. Nobody tells you your year in Counter-Strike, which is the one that actually took the hours.

So we built it. Type your FACEIT nickname, pick a year, and get your season back as a story: every match, every map, your role, the teammate you win most with, the one you lose to most, and the professional whose numbers look closest to yours.

It is free, there is no login, and it works for any year from 2013 onwards. Here is what is in it and where the numbers come from.

Everything comes from your own matches

Nothing here is estimated. The recap reads your match history through the official FACEIT Data API, match by match, and every figure is counted from your own scoreboards.

That means two things worth knowing. Matches you played outside FACEIT are not in it, so your Premier grind does not count. And the numbers are exactly as FACEIT recorded them, which is sometimes less flattering than memory.

The duo and nemesis are the part people screenshot. The tool goes through every match you played and finds the teammate you have the highest win rate alongside, and the opponent who has beaten you most. Both come out of real results rather than vibes.

Fourteen years, not just this one

The year selector goes back to 2013. If you have been on FACEIT since CS:GO, the whole archive is there, and you can pull any single season on its own.

That is more interesting than it sounds. Running 2019 and then 2026 side by side is the cheapest honest answer to the question of whether you have actually improved or just played more.

And you do not have to wait for December. The 2026 option runs on the year so far and updates after every match you play, so you can check in now and again at the end.

The pro whose numbers look like yours

This is the part that gets shared, and it is worth explaining properly rather than letting it look like magic.

We took the FACEIT matches of 379 active professionals and measured six things for each of them: opening duels, AWP kills, flashes thrown, utility damage, headshot percentage and ADR. Your recap measures the same six on you and returns the closest match.

Be clear about what that means. It is a style match, not a skill match. Coming out closest to a world class AWPer means your shape of play resembles his, not that you are near his level. The six numbers describe how you spend a round, not how well.

Used honestly it is a decent mirror. If your pro twin is a utility heavy support player and you think of yourself as a star fragger, the data is telling you something your memory is not.

Squads, comparisons and the roast

Three things beyond the solo recap.

Squad recap. Put in up to five nicknames and get the group version, with awards across the stack. This is the one to run in your team Discord in late December.

Compare. Put your nickname next to a mate's and get the two seasons side by side, stat for stat. It settles arguments.

Roast mode. The same numbers, read back to you unkindly. It is a joke button, but it is a joke built on your real stats, which is what makes it land.

Every recap produces a story sized image and a square image you can download, plus a link you can send. Nothing is gated and nothing asks for an account.

The leaderboard

Every recap that gets made feeds a public board for that year, ranked on most aces, longest win streak, most matches played and best ADR.

One honest caveat. It only contains players who have made their recap here, so it is not a ranking of FACEIT as a whole. Early in the year it is small and easy to get onto, which is either a flaw or an opportunity depending on how you look at it.

What to actually do with your recap

The screenshot is the fun part. The useful part is the three things to fix that come at the end of it.

Look at two numbers before anything else. Your headshot percentage, because it moves when your aim genuinely improves and stays flat when it does not. And your win rate against your match count, because a thousand matches at 48 percent is not a year of improvement, it is a year of practice at staying the same.

If your headshot rate is the number you want to move, what counts as a good ADR explains why it climbs 13 points between ranks while ADR barely moves at all.

If your win rate is the problem, the honest arithmetic on how long climbing actually takes is in hours to FACEIT Level 10, and the reason most players stall in the same place is in stuck at Level 5.

Where to go next

Make your recap first, it takes about ten seconds and you need nothing but your nickname.

Then, if the recap raised a question, the other FACEIT tools answer the specific versions of it. The FACEIT Head-to-Head tool puts your history next to one specific opponent rather than against an average, which is the natural follow up once you know who your nemesis is. The FACEIT Elo Calculator runs the maths on how many matches your current win rate needs to reach the next level, and how FACEIT elo works explains why that number is usually larger than people expect.

And if your recap says your role is something you did not choose, the CS2 Pro Positions tool shows where players in that role actually stand at the top level, map by map.
