Team detection program for games on BattleMetrics and Steam. The program goes through the player list on the BattleMetrics server page and saves all player names in an array. Then it goes through the Steam profile of the player you want to inspect and compares the friend list names and profile comments with the BattleMetrics player array to find out which friends are currently on the server. If the program found any matches, it will then continue to go through the friend list of those friends and so on. What you end up with is a table of all the players that might be part of the same team as the player you provided the Steam Profile. It will also create a .html file that visualize the friends network to see who is friends with who etc...
Tested with Python version: 3.12.1
