5 Stack

A Counter-Strike (CS:GO / CS2) take on 82-0 and Ultimate 11.

Each round the game rolls a random nationality and year — you draft a player who fits. Build a 5-stack (IGL, AWP, Pack Rifler, 2× Anchor), then simulate a Major run: Stage 1 → Stage 2 → Stage 3 → Quarters → Semis → Final.

The whole game is a single self-contained index.html with the dataset inlined. No build step, no dependencies, no tracking.

Running it in dev mode

You just need a static file server with live reload so that edits in VS Code refresh the browser.

Option A — VS Code Live Server extension (recommended)

1. Install the extension: Live Server by Ritwick Dey (ritwickdey.LiveServer).
2. Open this folder in VS Code.
3. Right-click index.html → Open with Live Server (or click Go Live in the status bar).
4. The browser opens at http://127.0.0.1:5500/index.html and reloads on every save.

Option B — npx live-server (no extension)

Requires Node.js. From the project root:

npx live-server --port=5500 --open=index.html

Edits to index.html trigger a browser refresh.

Option C — plain Python server (no live reload)

Fine for a quick look; you'll need to hit refresh yourself.

python3 -m http.server 5500

Then open http://localhost:5500/.

Deploying

It's a single static file. Drop index.html anywhere that serves static content (personal site, GitHub Pages, Netlify, S3, etc.). No build step required.

Swapping in your own player data

Open index.html and find the PLAYERS_CSV template literal near the top of the <script> block. Replace its contents with your own CSV. The columns are:

name,nationality,year,rating,roles

• roles is pipe-separated, e.g. AWP|Pack Rifler. Players may have 1 or 2 roles.
• Valid roles: IGL, AWP, Pack Rifler, Anchor.
• If you add a new nationality, add a flag emoji for it in the FLAG map below the CSV.
