What Mercurial is
Mercurial is a web-based analyzer for Counter-Strike 2 demos that reports gameplay statistics and probabilistic cheat-detection scores. It accepts demos from Valve matchmaking, FACEIT, and community servers. The maker says each demo receives more than 40 cheat-pattern checks, and its AI Deep Scan considers the findings alongside player history, account credibility, and match context. The analysis also grades counter-strafing shot by shot and measures crosshair placement, utility use, pre-aim, ping, and spray shake. Match Coach gives advice tied to specific rounds, while Form Check reviews performance after every five scored games. Setup Lab lets players tag matches with equipment and settings, compare results between setups, and receive AI suggestions. The free plan permits one AI Deep Scan daily, analysis of the user's own demos only, and two saved Setup Lab profiles. Plus costs $5 a month and Ultra costs $10 a month; both allow analysis of other players' demos within daily limits. The maker warns that results can be false positives or false negatives.
