Before I get hate, this isn't a shit posting thread. I'm looking for someone to explain these stats.
In VCT SA the average VLR.GG Rating for an Import is 1.05 which puts them in 21st. (if you compared this rating to all player ratings)
The average rating for a local player is 0.967 which puts them 31st.
This means that Indians are on average performing worse than International players are in their own league.
And the data get even more fucked when you only include the top teams (VLT, GDR, OG, AA, RGE)
When we only include the top 5 performing Teams in the league (listed above) The average rating for an Import becomes 1.2 which puts them 9th
The average rating for a local player becomes 1.08 Putting them on in 15th place compared to all players in the tournament.
Now obviously the data above is skewed because we're only taking data from 25 players from a tournament with 54 players so if we put these stats on a percentline it'll look like this:
All players in tournament;
INTERNATIONAL:
The average position for a player in this sample (International Imports) is on the 40th percentile
REGIONAL:
The average position for a player in this sample (South Asian players) in on the 57th percentile
Topt 5 teams in tournament:
INTERNATIONAL:
The average position for a player in this sample (International import in the top 5 teams) is on the 37th percentile
REGIONAL:
The average position for a player in this sample (South Asian players in the top 5 teams) is on the 63rd percentile
This data is pretty scary for the future of VALORANT in South Asia and the "Imports are naturally better" argument need not apply because the average rating of an import is an average of 5 placed ahead (in a percentile) than regional players.
Don't send me death threats uwu.
