woah wasn't really expecting you to listen to it or even like it, glad you found it good! <3

Another dataset would be really nice. I was thinking of also adding data from NBA games to compare momentum across different mediums, would that be good as well?
Thank you for the other variables to consider!
Good idea, I'll consider that fs!
Thanks for the feedback! Getting a good mark would probably involve stuff outside the IB course, I have some experience with stats and stuff but apparently you need calculus to do well, IDK how to integrate that but we'll see.
I hadn't even thought of economy as a factor, that would definitely influence outcomes much more than just rounds won and lost.
Appreciate you!
Hello all,
I'm doing a mathematical investigation for IB in high school and want to try something different. I want to investigate momentum and to what extent it affects a team's performance.
Do you guys have any tips on writing such an investigation? Whether valorant-specific or math-specific. This is my first time writing something like this, any feedback is appreciated.
Thanks!
Oh, I see, thanks for the info then
For kINgg, wasn't adverso IGLing in 2022? His fragging was on par from before to after.
probably better for him than Raze
kiNgg Raze
Demon1 Omen
tex Cypher
c0m Viper
nataNk Skye
kiNgg Viper
Demon1 Omen

Is it worth it to replace Demon1 on Raze with one of the other LEV players?
Should have been 11.6, fixed
Furia better than LEV is a take
yeahhh i find it really satisfying to use
Thoughts? What is the biggest surprise?

^ here are 12 Americas teams, rank them 1-12
one of sages biggest things going for her though is her wall to help plant, her defense is kinda secondary, vyse cant do that
not saying vyse isnt better, she'll contribute in other ways
good writeup, willing to bet a lot of us dont follow VCK this closely so it's nice to be informed. thanks!

Overall:
Team A 5 Points
Team B 11 Points
Team C 12 points
So I would say C > B > A.
He's not on AE anymore...
Yeah that was a while ago, it's phased out of the meta since Chamber got nerfed. It was a pretty good comp though
Those are cool statistics, where did you get them from?
I was referring to the current map pool, but you're right that Icebox is the best non-duelist map, I'd overlooked that.
and a Jett too, raze quickly became the dominant Duelist on sunset
that was the one I was trying to think of! I feel like their relative success was mostly due to their level of competition though, iirc they got demolished at ascension with it. But it's definitely not unviable.
you're right, i was only thinking in reference to the maps in rotation but i'd completely forgotten about g2 (and others') icebox comps.
Will no duelist comps ever be meta, or even viable, again?
The current map pool is Abyss, Bind, Fracture, Haven, Lotus, Pearl, Split
Historically the only map that has ever seen viable 0-duelist play has been Pearl, and that was during the Chamber meta. The comp in question was KAY/O, Fade, Astra, Viper, and Chamber. Even with a nerfed Chamber this comp could be redesigned to be viable within the current meta, maybe something like KAY/O, Fade, Astra, Harbor, Cypher? This allows at once strong map-control ability, executing ability, and post-plant ability, as well as retaining strong defensive identity. The only thing lacking is an OPer, which is pretty good on Pearl.
Abyss is a strong OPing map, Jett had been in basically all of the compositions up to now, either that or a Yoru-based composition.
Bind has never seen true zero-duelist comps at the high level; Raze (and very rarely Neon/Jett/Yoru) is a staple of every composition.
FPX ran zero-duelist on Fracture before, but that was at the very beginning; Raze or Neon has been present in basically every composition since.
Haven saw Sentinels run a no-duelist comp; again, this was the exception rather than the rule.
Lotus is a newer map and probably saw more experimentation of zero-duelist than I remember, but it seems still that a Duelist is usually meta.
Split is another heavy Raze map, and especially with the prevalence of double Duelist, zero-duelist does not seem very viable either.
This begs the question: why was zero-duelist ever a thing? Well, the Chamber meta allowed for an OPer, and also someone to take aggressive fights on attack. Because Chamber also covered the sentinel role, this freed up a spot for an extra initiator or controller for even more abilities to be used in various ways. Nowadays with the Chamber nerf, any no-duelist comp has to either have a playstyle in which you consistently take and win opening duels, which is a huge ask, or make up for it with the sheer amount of map-controlling abilities, which is perhaps a bigger ask.
So overall, as much as I loved seeing no-duelist comps in 2022, I don't think it'll ever be viable again. You're free to disagree though; I'm just a guy who watches and yaps without much basis in what I say.
Thoughts?
I think usually it depends on player flexibility. Some teams have their recon initiator as their flex (C0M on 2023 EG) and some have their flash initiator as their flex (kiNgg 2023 LEV). Also, depending on if teams choose to pair Tejo with a Sova/Fade or a KAY/O/Breach.
is VLR showing the agents wrong?
wow… this really doesn’t look good for ttr
Who else got poached?
didn’t he igl in 2022 tho on raze?
There is not a single Spanish player.
GMBLERS has 2 italians, a bulgarian, a finn, and a portuguese.
Melilla has 3 portuguese, a pole, and a russian.
Falke has 2 lithuanians, a pole, an italian, and a bulgarian.
HGE has 2 russians, a belarussian, a finn, and a lithuanian.
Totals: 3 Italians, 2 Bulgarians, 4 Portuguese, 3 Russians, 2 Finns, 2 Poles, 1 Belorussian, and 3 Lithuanians.
thoughts?
i think having a smokes player is better, since sayf is probably more comfortable on flex than smokes
any thoughts? do they match up well or is it just a coincidence? they haven’t beaten them for like 6 matches or something, stretching all the way back to 2021. (according to vlr)
edit: THIS IS THE WRONG WAY AROUJD MB
i made a spreadsheet for this a while back lol, here’s two other teams:
czechia - marteen, Minny, MAGNUM, Jesse, Nunmeister/alexiik
Denmark - pa1ze, nille, avova, cullumx, ri4d
i think if you make his wall longer, pass through walls, and you can activate it on command. but that would be too powerful so you gotta make it recharge. maybe make it his e instead.
for his new c you move the molly there but instead of healing yourself it makes the enemy die quicker. i think that’s a fair trade off.
and he doesn’t need more flashes. maybe another smoke would be nice.
and for his ult, something that advantages u in a 1v1 is good but run it back is rly bad - just see the scream victor clip. solution? make it so none of you can see anything for like 15 meters. also just get rid of the respawn - it’s too extra.
thoughts? this rework would help phoenix a little i think.
something is just better than sheydos tbh.
on jett maps:
something jett
chron flashes
trexx scan
demon1 smokes
nats senti
on raze maps:
something scans (he’s been playing fade and gekko)
trexx raze
etc
on neon maps:
chron neon
something scans
trexx flashes
etc
on raze double controller maps
trexx raze
something fade
chron kj
demon1 omen
nats viper
why not alfa duelist, woot flex, mrfalin smokes, then elite on sentinel?
he played it well during the chamber era on ghost. otherwise let zellsis play an initiator
they can just run a gekko comp on sunset, it’s not out of the meta
