Shawn is higher ACS than nature even though nature has 20 more kills and 3 more assists

baiter

more dmg = more acs

raze tend to get a lot of acs because the nades, ult, blast packs do a lot of chip damage. A lot of NaturE's assist may have come from sage healing or Kayo's flashes.
This is my best guess

average combat score = average across all 3 maps, if you look at it nature went crazy on split but not on either of the other maps while shawn was more consistent

He mustve had a lot of multi kill rounds
Multikill rounds give more acs than being consistant

Ex. Lets say two players go 8-8 in 8 rounds
The person with 2, 4k rounds is going to have a higher acs than the person getting one kill every round
I believe its because they have more impact, and ACS is more similar to an impact rating

do you know somewhere that explains how ACS is calculated?

Shawn got more ADR than NaturE even with much less kills. Maybe NaturE got many kills trading a weak opponent

do you know somewhere that explains how ACS is calculated?

Here's a long article
With every additional kill you get in a round you get bonus points for getting that kill
Shawn got 14 rounds with 2k's and with consistent multikill rounds comes higher ACS
It also matters when the Kills are gotten. First bloods are always worth more than the last kill of the round.
First kill is worth 150 and every kill after that is worth 20 CS less than the kill prior

• 1st:150 2nd:130 3rd:110 4th:90 5th:70 and 6th:50
• So assuming Shawn got first blood and then followed up with a second blood that would be 150pts for first blood and 130pts for second blood plus an additional 50 pts for the second blood being a multkill coming out to 330pts for simply getting two kills
• Nature could get the last kill 3x's in a row 70+70+70=210 and it is still no where near Shawn's one round CS even with getting a single more kill.
• In three rounds Nature could get 70acs for getting constant kills while the one round that shawn got made 110 ACS in 3 rounds.

In short: Multikills and Early round kills > being consistent
