Stage 1's All-Valorant teams

#1

Psion

This includes results, stats, and overall performance of both playoffs and group stage, and puts players into all-valorant or all-region teams similar to the NBA
explanation of how we used the flex spot:

Flex is not just for traditional "flash init/viper" players, but also for anyone who plays multiple roles a lot in general, like asuna, who while most his matches are on raze, plays gekko/kayo on breeze, icebox, and ascent, which is 3/6 maps 100T plays (they perma ban lotus). it gave us some more general breathing room to come up with fixes for role conflicts depending on map between teams, especially 100T and paper rex. for all intents and purposes,
TLDR: its a free space where anyone who plays multiple roles on multiple maps technically could fit

F0rsaken has played 15 games on initiator and 4 games off it in the past 30 days(which technically doesn't include like week 1 or smthn but anyway)
initiator was very weak role in pacific outside d4v41 and Muchkin, and f0rsaken's stats on harbor have been very bad compared to his initiator.
it made much more sense to put him as the #1 initiator in pacific, than the #3 flex, because he was definitely worse than Something and Invy

no problem, the issue is equating the yearly basis into a total, like do i go by individual year such as
duelist

aspas(2023)
or do i go by overall player

#58

go for the 3 main roles of duelist, flex and sentinel. Ik there are others but that is wayyy to much info to sort through

and go by year and then finally just average out for the overall

again thx

sscary over karon 💀

#9

–

yes? the only thing karon has over sscary is results, and even then GenG went 5-5 this split in matches
Sscary was igling and was also statistically better in
K/D, ACS, KAST, ADR, KPR, FK, FK-FD ratio, FD. the only thing karon performed better in sscary in was APR

#23

because sscary's stats mostly comes from baiting?
if sscary was better why did his team go 1-4??? and not to mention karon played twice of rounds and went against tougher opponents more

he took the 3rd most 1st duels of anyone on bleed, and you are kinda supposed to stay alive on controller, smokes are the most important individual pieces of utility in this game besides ults, so besides clove, controllers shouldn't really be taking a lot of first duels. duelists, initiators, and in some cases, sentinels, should be taking fights before controllers

#28

additionally,
if you take out playoffs where GenG played "tougher opponents," Karon's stats go DOWN
and valorant is a team game you can't expect Sscary to carry his team to victory all on his own

Alfajer under Tomazsy and Elite is wild ngl

both performed better than alfajer imo
stats back this up, elite was debatably the best statistical player of the stage and tomazy is better than alfa in a lot of stats that matter for the anchor/ lurker.
I'd be ok with Alfa above tomazsy via results(1st vs 4th), they are kinda close, but saying Alfa performed better than Elite this stage is wrong

the ONLY spot where we had more than 2 HM's was Senti on international so that we had 2 international HM's per slot on average (12), so sadly purp0 did not make the cut

we didn't do this for anything except this, but
Bc they were all so close, for the 3rd EMEA slot, we ranked qutioner, purp0, marteen, keiko, and derke in FK, FK-FD, ACS, K/D, Kast, ADR, and KPR
on average the placements were:
Qutioner: 2
Keiko: 2.4
Marteen: 2.6
Derke: 3.6
Purp0: 4.4
so qutioner got the 3rd slot and keiko and marteen got the 2 honorable mentions

for # 25, purp0 was last in everything except FK (4th) and Fk-FD (2nd) and qutioner was better than purp0 at both of those

hello ondez, glad you liked this.
While I'd like to say i did most of the heavy lifting, Geo did china by himself and Cleg helped give me a 2nd opinion a lot of the time.
although i do think i could claim most of the credit bc i am the one who talked to geo for him to do china, i'm not going to

its a combination of results(least important though), stats, and overall performance/eye test
sure, by the eye test meiy might've been better(i think jemkin looked better)
but jemkim's stats were much better than RRQ did way better than DFM given they face they had 2ge sub a game (auto loss)
