You're absolutely right — SteamDB is a great resource for checking real-time stats. I often keep an eye on the trending charts, and it's interesting to see how games like CS:GO, Dota 2, and Apex Legends hold their positions over time.
For CS:GO especially, tracking trends can be fun beyond just player count. I’ve recently gotten into
Austin Major Pickem, where you can predict the outcomes of pro matches and even win skins based on how accurate your picks are. It adds an extra layer of excitement when watching big tournaments or checking team performance.
Combining real-time stats from SteamDB with prediction games makes following esports a lot more engaging. Definitely worth a try if you're into CS or competitive gaming in general.
