SOS: Overrated/Underrated

This post compares the Strength Of Schedule (SOS) for teams in Masters 2 Reykjavik and Masters 3 Berlin.
The strength of schedule is just the average placement of the teams that a team faced. Ties are treated as in the middle of the placement group, for instance, 9-12 ties are all counted as 10.5. The smaller the SOS the tougher the schedule.
SOS is highly seeding and placement dependent so doing better typically means a better SOS.
For Masters 2, Vikings got screwed with a really tough strength of schedule while Crazy Raccoons lost to a pretty weak strength of schedule. TL also had a pretty weak SOS for placing 4th.
The high stats for players like TenZ, Sacy, Derke, and Lakia are more impressive because they faced good opposition.

The Masters 3 Berlin format of group stages and single elim playoffs makes SOS almost useless since there is very little cross play between groups and a ton of ties. Also group D having a double round robin makes their SOS very different.
This time, CR faced Gambit twice so had a very high SOS. Group A didn't do well in playoffs so their SOS is quite low.

The SOS is not comparable between tournaments since there are different numbers of teams, but I calculated an adjusted strength of schedule (SOSa). The formula is

(SOS - 1)/(#Teams - 1)

This makes the average SOS for Masters 2 (5.5) and the average SOS for Masters 3 (8.5) the same SOSa of 0.5.
If both Masters 2 and 3 were double elim, this would make the comparison useful, but since they have different formats you can't get a lot of info out of it.

Basically teams high on the lists faced better opposition than teams lower on the lists.

why did u waste ur time on this?

im so confused

Thats some great work! but it requires a little bit of thinking... maybe just post a conclusion in the end that summarises everything in simpler language

so, ez for CR?

No idea but good work
