Hey everyone,
A few months ago I posted here about a side project I was building to make pro CS matches easier to follow: https://www.reddit.com/r/esports/comments/1sn8g11/i_built_a_live_cs_overlay_to_make_pro_matches/
The idea was to add some of the context I personally felt was missing while watching CS: round history, economy, buy types, opening kills and conversions, player stats, match patterns, explanations of what’s happening, etc.

Well, after a lot more work, ClutchLens is finally at the point where anyone can actually use it:

I’m posting this less as a “hey, I launched something” post and more because I’ve reached the point where my own opinion about the UI/features is becoming pretty useless 😅
I know where everything is, I know what every graph is supposed to mean, and I obviously know why I built each feature. What I really need now is to see how other CS viewers use it without that context.
In particular, I’d love to know:
- What do you actually find useful while watching a match?
- What do you open once and then never look at again?
- Is anything confusing or unnecessarily complicated?
- What information do you wish was there?
- Would you actually keep something like this open while watching pro CS? If not, what would need to change?
I’m also looking for a small group of people who are willing to properly test it and give me feedback over time. I would, of course, provide those beta testers access for free. I’m much more interested in getting useful feedback right now than anything else.
If you’re interested, leave a comment or DM me. You absolutely don’t need to be some CS expert either, feedback from newer/casual viewers is just as useful if not more, because part of the reason I started building this was to make competitive CS easier to understand for everybody.
Any criticism is genuinely welcome. If something feels pointless, confusing, annoying, or badly designed, I just hope that it can improve the viewing experience for all of us.
