CS2 Broadcast Overlay Production Suite

What Makes a CS2 Broadcast Overlay Suite?

A broadcast overlay suite is the complete set of graphical assets used throughout a live CS2 production. It covers every moment in a match broadcast: the opening presentation, in-game action, pauses and timeouts, half-time intermission, and the final victory screen. Together, these scenes create a coherent visual identity that elevates an event from a raw stream to a polished esports production.

CutROOM provides all of these scenes in a single subscription, with a unified dashboard to control them. Operators can trigger scene transitions, update team data, activate sponsor displays, and manage the full production flow without leaving the CutROOM interface.

Broadcast Scenes Included

Match Intro

Animated opening screen showing both teams, tournament logo, map name, and match context. Plays automatically when the match begins or can be triggered manually.

Live Scoreboard

Always-visible round score display with team names, side indicators (CT/T), and overtime detection. Updates automatically at the end of each round via GSI.

Teams Overview

Full roster display with player names, avatars, roles, and statistics. Used during pre-match, timeouts, and half-time to give viewers team context.

Intermission / Half-Time

Structured pause screen with first-half score summary, sponsor placement area, and team break timer. Keeps viewers engaged during the 90-second in-game pause.

Sponsors Display

Automated sponsor rotation with configurable timing, logo sizing, and display priority. Sponsors can be rotated throughout the broadcast or pinned to specific scenes.

Victory Screen

End-of-match celebration screen with the winning team, final scoreline, series context, and MVP highlight. Supports tournament progression metadata.

Tournament Bracket

Live bracket visualization for multi-match events. Shows current standings, upcoming fixtures, and completed results in a broadcast-formatted layout.

Dashboard Control During Live Broadcast

Every scene in CutROOM can be triggered manually or set to activate automatically based on GSI events. The dashboard shows the current match state and allows operators to prepare the next scene while the current one is active.

Common workflow during a live broadcast:

1. Match begins → trigger Intro scene manually
2. Knife round ends → GSI switches sides automatically, scoreboard updates
3. Half-time → trigger Intermission scene, start sponsor timer
4. Match ends → trigger Victory scene, GSI provides winning team data

Multi-Match Tournament Production

For day-long tournament events, CutROOM supports rapid team data switching between matches. Operators can pre-load all participating teams, map schedules, and bracket data before the event starts, then switch to each match's data in seconds as the day progresses.

Caster+ subscribers can run up to 3 broadcast PCs simultaneously — essential for productions where separate operators handle obs, production, and studio simultaneously.

OBS Integration

All CutROOM broadcast scenes are delivered as browser sources compatible with OBS Studio, Streamlabs, and any other broadcast software that supports browser capture. Each scene has its own URL, so you can add all scenes to your OBS scene collection and switch between them using standard OBS transitions.
