Yeah, I couldn't find the ratings for china on vlr.
I used bayesian average to calculate the ratings - I wanted to take into account the number of matches played by a player on an agent while ranking them, and the bayesian average provides an estimate of their average rating.
(I am not an expert in statistics, this is what my friends suggested me to use)

Hi Everyone,

I did a project where I scraped the ratings of each player in VCT Stage-1 from vlr.gg and rib.gg. I then calculated a score for each player based on their average rating, and the number of matches played by each player. Based on the results, here are the top performers along with their ratings for VCT Stage-1

These ratings are purely based on the stats on vlr and rib. If anyone is interested, I have also rated the top players for each role, and for each agent - you can access the full results of this project here - https://forms.gle/qm4mconTrh5TjhYUA . Please let me know your thoughts on this.

i thought about loud, if the rumors are true and less is truly being benched then they aren't top 12.

and yea forgot about KC lol, they surely are a better team than C9

who else would u have on the list

TH,PRX,LEV,KRU,100T,FUT,NAVI,GENG,FNC,DRX,SEN,C9
(not in order)

they wont.

looks sick man🔥🔥🔥🔥
great job

i agree

at this point rossi would have been better than polvi

ascent or bind?

for zellsis🫡

if my grandma had tyres she would have been a bike

after we reverse the standings🏆🏆🏆

and the coach for the team was spin... so ig polvi will be joining GE

Loved seeing fnatic lift the trophy but would have liked if the extra slot at champs would have gone to NA

Fut fetish

imo they need another controller... maybe if figure out a way to include lightningfast to play the second controller in maps like pearl/lotus (where double controller is a meta) they might have a chance
