¿Which duelist opens the map best in VCT Leagues?

#1

xpablolo

I've obtained data from their corresponding VCT Leagues to know which duelist is the most successful at opening the map. Here are the results:

In EMEA: Derke (with 0.61 First Kill Success Rate and 0.42 Aggressiveness Rate)
In Americas: aspas (0.6 FKSR) and dgzin (with 0.39 AR)
In Pacific: something (0.61 FKSR) and Seoldam (with 0.44 AR)

To see the full data visualized with further observations check out my original Twitter Post.

I've done the same work for the 2023 Champions Playoffs. We now get:

Derke as the most aggressive opener (with 0.43 AR)
Demon1 as the most successful at opening (with 0.68 FKSR)

That means, Demon1 won about 68% of his first aggression attempts!

i still dont get why a lot of ppl say thate derke is a weak duelist and would get outshined, I think impact wise he has been one of the strongest and a more disciplined duelist

Derke was always considered as one of the best duelists itw but suddenly everyone started hating on him cause of the "superteam"

I was shocked to see Seoldam, but it would make sense I suppose

Seoldam has not a good Success Rate at the first aggression in comparison to the other duelists of the region but he is the player who makes the most first kill attempts per round (44% of the rounds he attempts a first aggression). But it is important to remark that this rate does not mean a more or less aggressive play-style. For example, although Jinggg has imo a very aggressive style, he has the lowest AR in the PAC League. This is maybe caused since he performs as the second entry in PRX and does not attempt a lot of first duels.

It’s because entries aren’t always the first duel lol, something can take random duels in mid and be more aggressive than jinggg but when PRX actually execute jinggg is entrying

how is aggressiveness rate measured?

its computed by

(First Kills+First Deaths)/Rounds played

This rate represents the average number of first kill attempts per Round. It is important to note that this aggressiveness rate does not illustrate if a player has in general a more or less aggressive play-style, it is just a measure for first aggression attempts in the round (the aggressiveness at opening the round).
