If MatchZy is installed and active on your CS2 server, demo recording will start automatically when a match begins.
This means: - No manual commands required - Every scrim / match is recorded automatically - Perfect for teams and competitive play
How it works: MatchZy detects match start and triggers CSTV recording automatically.
