A very strange, but at the same time amusingly precise pattern has been found in broky’s numbers: the Latvian plays his best Counter-Strike specifically on Thursdays and Fridays. Meanwhile, Sunday — a day often associated with deciding matches and finals — turned out to be one of his weakest days statistically.
broky’s rating
If you look at broky’s rating split by day of the week across the entire CS2 era, the picture is very unusual. On Thursday he has a 1.16 rating, on Friday a 1.15, and those are his strongest days. For comparison, on Sunday the number drops to 1.01, while on Tuesday it sits exactly at 1.00.
That is exactly why this stat stands out so much. On one hand, it looks like a fun meme about “broky Friday,” but on the other, it reveals a real pattern: in the middle and at the end of the work week, the Latvian consistently looks stronger than he does on the traditionally “most important” day of a big tournament.

Thursday and Friday are clearly broky’s days
The numbers look very clean:
- Monday — 1.02
- Tuesday — 1.00
- Wednesday — 1.04
- Thursday — 1.16
- Friday — 1.15
- Saturday — 1.03
- Sunday — 1.01
So broky’s highest points come exactly on Thursday and Friday, and the gap from the other days is already quite noticeable. This is not a difference of a few hundredths that can be easily written off, but a full upward jump.
Sunday, which is often finals day, is almost his worst
The most ironic thing in this story is that Sunday in Counter-Strike is very often the day of finals, the most important matches, and the biggest attention from the scene. But it is exactly on that day that broky’s stats are almost at their worst — just 1.01.
That does not automatically mean he “chokes finals,” but the pattern itself looks very funny and very telling. If Thursday and Friday are the version of broky that really flies, then Sunday looks like the day when his average level drops almost to the baseline of one.
Against the backdrop of FaZe’s overall condition, it sounds symbolic too
This statistic becomes even more interesting when read against the backdrop of FaZe’s current state. Over the past few months, the team has already been going through a difficult stretch, and broky himself has not looked as stable as he did in his best seasons.
So breakdowns like this by day of the week obviously remain more of an interesting statistical story than a hard analytical verdict. But they underline very well just how uneven the perception of a player can sometimes be even over a long distance.
The perfect stat for memes, but not entirely meaningless
Numbers like these spread so easily precisely because they are both funny and accurate at the same time. The formula “broky Thursday / broky Friday” sounds almost like a ready-made meme, but at the same time there is a real statistical sample behind it.
Of course, one day of the week does not by itself explain a player’s form. But as a small portrait of a gameplay pattern, it works very well: there are days when broky genuinely looks much more alive, and there are days when his numbers dip almost to a neutral level.

A beautiful anomaly
broky’s day-of-the-week stats in CS2 have produced a very beautiful anomaly: the Latvian plays his best on Thursday and Friday, while Sunday — the day that often becomes finals day — turned out to be one of his weakest stretches.
This is, of course, not a verdict and not a universal explanation for all of FaZe’s results, but as a statistical detail, it is almost a perfect story. Because now broky does not just have form — he almost officially has his own days of the week.
