Where the lineups come from
The lineups are Valve's official map guides in the CS2 game files, quoted as they are, typos included. The files are read in GameTracking-CS2, a public copy of the game files on GitHub (Valve does not publish them itself), at the version of Oct. 22, 2026. Lineups the files give without a title are not listed, among them all of Train's: its guide keeps its words in strings that are not in the game's English text file.
