At the end of this guide, every team in your event has the right name, abbreviation, logo, roster and photos, so every graphic shows the right players.

Before you start

Open the Board

  1. On the web, choose Open event on the Dashboard. The event opens on Teams & matches: its Board.
  2. In the collector, open Go Live and the Setup tab, then Teams & matches.
  3. Switch between Board (the whole event) and List (teams and matches in rows) at the top.

Add or edit a team

  1. Choose Add to event, then New team. To reuse a team you saved before, choose Team library instead.

  2. To edit a team, hover its card and choose EDIT ▸, or choose Edit team in List.

  3. In Team & players, set the Team name, the Abbreviation (up to four letters) and the Team colour. Changes save as you go and the panel says Team changes saved.

Rosters and nicknames

  1. Under Players, each player has NICK, STEAM ID, Real name, Role and Country.

  2. Type the nickname exactly as it should appear on air. Add the Steam ID too: live CS2 data is matched to your roster by Steam ID first, then by nickname.

  3. + ADD PLAYER adds a row; Remove player takes one out of this event's roster.

A team you add from the library is copied into the event, so edit the event's copy for this show.

Logos and photos

  1. Upload logo sets the team logo from a PNG or JPEG file of up to 5 MB. To paste an image address instead, click the logo on the web; in the collector, expand Use a logo URL.
  2. Each player has Upload photo; Remove photo clears it.
  3. Team player photos decides what the overlay shows: Auto uses each player's photo and falls back to the side's placeholder art, Force placeholder always shows the CT or T artwork.

Fix a mismatch

When the names CS2 reports do not match your roster:

  1. In the operator panel, MATCH CONTROL shows Roster setup needs attention with the players that do not match. Choose Edit team rosters to fix them.
  2. On the Board, open Detected in CS2. It lists the players CS2 reports for the current match as Linked, Unlinked or Conflict.
  3. For an unlinked player, choose Link player, pick the Match team and the Existing player, then Confirm link. The Steam ID is saved on that roster row.
