# DeadlockMaster AI - Stats & Guides

> Chrome extension combining a Deadlock player stats tracker with hero guides, counter picks, mechanics tutorials, live objective timers, automated patch notes, and on-device AI coaching.

## What Is DeadlockMaster AI?

DeadlockMaster AI is a Chrome browser extension that provides a comprehensive in-browser toolset for Deadlock (a 6v6 MOBA-shooter by Valve). It renders in Chrome's native sidebar panel so players can track stats and reference guides without alt-tabbing out of the game.
