What 408 professional Cache nades show about CS2 utility

We analyzed every watchable Cache throw in the Daily CS Nades catalog to measure the utility mix, T-versus-CT split and most documented named landing areas. The result is a transparent snapshot of 15 public player guides—not a guess about the entire pro meta.

The difference is only 14 throws. This describes the current guide sample; it does not imply that both sides use the same utility in the same situations.

Named landing coverage

81 throws have source-backed callout labels

All 408 events have radar positions, but only 81 currently have a named landing callout in the source data. We leave the others unnamed instead of inferring a label.

Guide coverage

Which player guides contain the most captured throws?

This is a coverage table, not a player ranking. Longer matches and more complete source guides naturally create larger totals.

Methodology

What the report counts—and what it does not

The analysis reads the same public catalog that powers the Daily CS Nades radar. An event is included only when it has a Cache landing position and is connected to at least one public YouTube guide. A unique utility event is counted once even if it has multiple references.

The sample covers 15 players, 4 represented teams and 3 matches. It is useful for understanding this documented collection, but it is not a complete survey of every professional Cache match or the current competitive meta.

Callout names are reported only when supplied by the underlying match data. Unnamed events remain visible on the radar, and we do not guess their nearest named area. New public guides are incorporated by the automated catalog sync and update this report on the next site build.

Frequently asked questions

About the Cache utility analysis

How many professional Cache nades are in this analysis?

This analysis covers 408 unique, watchable Cache utility throws connected to 15 public player guides in the current Daily CS Nades catalog.

Which grenade is most common in this Cache sample?

Smokes are the largest category with 226 throws, or 55.4% of the analyzed Cache utility.

Does the player coverage rank the best Cache players?

No. It shows how many documented throws appear in each available guide. Match length, player selection and guide coverage affect the totals, so they are not a skill or strategy ranking.

How does Daily CS Nades build this analysis?

The site counts a utility event only when it has a radar landing position and a public video guide. Each event is counted once, and landing-area labels are shown only when the source data supplies a named callout.
