## 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`](https://github.com/pnxenopoulos/awpy).

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

  Some demos are excluded if missing or failed to parse.  
- **Roles:** Adapted from [Harry Richards’ Positions Database](https://public.tableau.com/app/profile/harry.richards4213/viz/OLDPositionsDatabaseArchived/PositionsDatabaseNER0cs).  
  Players not covered in that source are left blank in `role_t`, `role_ct`, or `role_overall`.
