Overview

This dataset captures player playstyle features and role labels from professional Counter-Strike 2 matches in 2024.
It includes aggregated player-level metrics describing opening attempts, trading behaviour, time-alive-per-death,
and team-relative positioning features (ADNT, ADAT) derived from parsed demo files using
awpy.

Designed for clustering, player profiling, and role-based analysis.
