best - split
worst - pearl / breeze
he takes signficantly more risks than most top tier duelist players imo and it's especially visible when he's separated from his teammates. I think his playstyle , which already puts him in contention for number 1, could be further optimized by taking less risks and playing the percentages more.
I disagree imo aspas has the highest ceiling in the world. you can see it in every solo play he makes - the movement, awareness, and aim is incredible but it's very unrefined.
this has been clear since it was leaked, just like '22 LOUD.
SEN wins -> TenZ is the best human to ever play a video game
The kth percentile P_k is that value of x, say x_k, which corresponds to a cumulative frequency of N, k/100, where N is the sample size.
Weisstein, Eric W. "Percentile." From MathWorld--A Wolfram Web Resource. https://mathworld.wolfram.com/Percentile.html
Let the 37th percentile be a rating of k_1. and the 63th percentile be a rating of k_2.
k_1 then corresponds a cumulative frequency of 37% while k_2 corresponds to a cumulative frequency of 63%. I.e. starting from an average rating of zero, summing the frequencies of each rating until k_1 results in 37% while doing the same for k_2 results in 63%. Evidently, k_2 > k_1.
And I legit said that the skewing of data in favor of international players is more than double that of the average for imports
For the top 5 players, an international player has a 10% better rating than a regional player. I think that's very acceptable considering it's maybe been 2 months since the league started.
To be clear, I respect the effort you put into the post I just think it's somewhat difficult to understand as it's currently worded.
it really isn't an easy read.
Import is 1.05 which puts them in 21st.
what the fuck does 21st mean here
And the data get even more fucked when you only include the top teams (VLT, GDR, OG, AA, RGE)
why would you ever calculate the stats without including the top teams? does this mean the previously calculated average rating is inaccurate?
Now obviously the data above is skewed because we're only taking data from 25 players from a tournament with 54 players
JUST CALCULATE THE AVERAGE USING ALL 54??? What on earth??
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
Let's assume position is really supposed to be rating - then this would imply an average top 5 South Asian player has a better rating than 63% of the population (which isn't clear either) while a top 5 international player has a better rating than 37% of the population. That would mean the average South Asian player is performing better than the average international player according to the usual way the term "percentile" is used (which imo isn't even required in this analysis, just compare the average ratings!)
And besides, none of this really even matters when you actually put it into context - you'd only ever want to import a player if they already exceed the average population's skill. Naturally, you would then expect imported players to perform better than the region's players - if they didn't it would indicate that the teams have been choosing bad imports.
9 chances to close it out and not even a single win
this is false and you know it deep down no matter how much you may try to ignore it
stfu little bitch stop actin like ur something
cringe + ratio + 0/8 + you are a shame to your ancestors + stfu!
ice spice was radiant last act
this mf is finally playing at the same level he used to
I HATE YOU AND YOUR ENTIRE BLOODLINE I HOPE YOUR FAMILY TREE ENDS WITH YOU! :3
XOXO,
queueK
that's what he got signed for but I feel like a player of his caliber is inevitably going to end up starting for them.

wonder whose place he's taking
great movie!
the soundtrack is super fucking cool too - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ol_XDBdEm0M
Cut all caffeine, pull an all nighter, do low intensity exercise for a long period of time during that day (jogging is great) and eat a lot for dinner
Don't actively try to fall asleep - read a book/ do homework / anything not super active that u can do in bed. I find not looking at the time helps a lot too.

subtitbles have tokyo but i feel like turkiye makes more sense in context?
only the sheriff and the guardian feel good everything else feels horrible imo. definitely the worst part of valorant.
they made up for it by making kills super satisfying though.
my intention was to compare the teams at the level they will be when they next play each other, which will be Tokyo.
Currently I 100% agree they are dogwater
the rrq comparision is unwarranted, they're in a tier of their own.
I definitely do think they showed a lot of good though. > Yet, their macro was still good, their setplays were good, and the IGL-ing was solid.
It's super visible in their gameplay, just look at even the very first round of the series - Liquid run a beautiful fake that gets all the TS players off site and then proceed to massively fumble the plant because nobody holds for redgar during the plant. This round structure (TL having good ideas but fucking up the foundations) repeats in different forms throughout the series and was in my opinion the main reason they lost.
It would be worse than or at the level of, not strictly worse but yeah. I claim that they WILL BE at the level where the statement is true. Currently, they're clearly not even close.
Compared to the other regions possible third seeds (Lev, Furia 100T, SEN, Talon, Gen G, PRX), there's not a single team that I can confidently say is better than Liquid. I genuinely think that their performance at Lock in was decent despite being massively below expectations.
It's a completely new roster without an existing core made with players from three different teams that didn't play similarly (or really share any structure). Yet, their macro was still good, their setplays were good, and the IGL-ing was solid.
Once they manage to coordinate better - as all new rosters do after a few months - they will perform way better. Not good enough to match the S-tier teams because of their weak links but good enough to beat anybody else.
Their single map against Secret, despite being a stomp, still had a lot of great macro and setplays. They just fell apart during execution - players wouldn't trade or space correctly. It almost felt like a communication issue, not dissimilar from Korean-Japanese rosters but with much improved firepower
Agree with pretty much everything except Liquid - I think that rooster's only issue was a complete lack of cohesion. It was like watching a bunch of headless chickens navigate a hedge maze.
However, I think with a supposedly good coach, this is a problem that will be fixed over the course of the split. After that their performance should be on par with NAVI and Fnatic imo
These mfs need to drop the crossover episode
After rewatching the entire bo5, I have to say that the crowd was incredible. It makes the experience so much more real and tangible. Would the event be better if the crowd made the same level of noise for both teams? Yes. Would the crowd be nearly as passionate and loud if they did attempt to support both teams? No. The energy that the crowd brought stems from rivalry, from the competition, from not only supporting a team but "hating" the other.
I prefer the most dedicated crowd over any lesser option despite an evident bias.
Then comes the aftermath - the crowd after their team has lost. I've noticed a lot of threads stating that the crowd left before the trophy was raised - but that's only partly true. The crowd started leaving directly after LOUD's second-place bow / camera moment. The majority of the people however were present for Fnatic raising the trophy - they left during the break for the post-match interview. I think that's entirely fair. The post math interview is, in my opinion, similar to a post-credit scene in a movie. It's something for dedicated fans, of which there aren't many. I've been to many traditional sporting events where it's entirely customary to start leaving immediately after a team wins (though most of these were regular season games as opposed to a grand final) - the trophy raise generally indicates the end of the event. If the TOs wanted a crowd to be present during the post-match interview, I think having a more seamless transition is necessary. During downtime, seeing the stadium empty out even partially triggers a domino-effect-esque reaction where more and more people leave, unwilling to break the trend.
I hope Masters does return to Brazil and I hope a Brazillian team makes it to the final again - the energy is unmatched.
mfw my ranked teammates don't understand the entirely new language I invented specifically to communicate more efficiently in valorant
