With EMEA Challengers Promotion coming up I’ve tried to do a statistical review of the overall power of the teams using a statistic I have created using a bund of per round stats like KPR with the addition of clutch win rate. I have called this statistic Round Impact Score (RIS for short). So below shows each team in the events RIS as a team along with individual player RIS, players are listed in the order of Duelist, Flex, Initiator (Sova), Controller and Sentinel:

BIG: 0.519
AslaN: 0.533
Obnoks: 0.519
gob b: 0.545
Kaspe: 0.440
Twisten: 0.586
BIG come down as the loser of group A having never won a group this is what causes their Team RIS to be a lot lower compared to the teams coming out of the VRLs. However stand out players for this team are Twisten and gob b, with Twisten being a monster and gob b having the second highest RIS on the team whilst being the teams IGL.

SuperMassiveBlaze: 0.514
Izzy: 0.559
Brave: 0.520
CyderX: 0.464
glovee: 0.467
XiSTOU: 0.558
SMB again suffers from the same problem as BIG for their RIS making them seem like the worst teams in the tournament but Izzy and XiSTOU are proving to be two very good players especially from XiSTOU on the sentinel role.

Excel: 0.623
elllement: 0.657
paTiTek: 0.608
Moe40: 0.654
ozzy: 0.597
chiwawa: 0.601
XL comes out of the Northern VRL beating notable teams like Alliance and Tenstar with the third highest Team RIS of the tournament despite a stacked VRL it will be exciting to see elllement and Moe40 battle with the best of the other VRL’s. Moe40 also comes in as the top-rated initiator player coming into the tournament.

Rebels Gaming: 0.603
jannyXD: 0.637
musashi: 0.600
lyNxi: 0.546
GatsH: 0.579
Vo0kashu: 0.654
Hailing from the most popular VRL of Spain Rebels are a strong team that made the closed qualifiers for EMEA Challengers 1 with a middling Team RIS but vo0kashu has been a standout player with the second highest RIS out of all sentinels in this tournament but with the number one sentinel in their group it might not be enough.

Sector One: 0.586
Goaster: 0.614
KONEQT: 0.549
MARCTYLINHO: 0.593
SHIN: 0.643
iDex: 0.531
Sector One come out of the France and Benelux VRL with an epic reverse sweep against BDS in the final and coming out over other big names like Vitality. Their player with top RIS is SHIN, as the second highest RIS of the controllers, but even he isn’t enough to cause the teams Team RIS to be the lowest out of the teams in the groups.

Surreal Esports: 0.625
Masic: 0.670
jeyj7y: 0.594
RieNs: 0.601
Jlerst: 0.578
Alfajer: 0.683
The second highest Team RIS of the tournament Surreal Esports has the second best duelist by RIS but the top RIS with Alfajer who by the stats is an animal and the engine that has driven this team to the top of Turkey but in what is dubbed the group of death will it be enough against the other teams.

Anynomo Esports: 0.595
xuss: 0.610
maniek: 0.600
snikk: 0.576
kamyk: 0.626
adm1k: 0.564
Anynomo Esports come out of the Polish VRL or rather the East VRL which was comminated by polish teams outside of an upset from Greek team Anorthosis. None of the players really stand out as star players from the numbers and with one of the weaker Team RISs from the VRL teams but they made it out from a strong looking VRL so its all to play for.

FOKUS: 0.614
JUGi: 0.695
YaBoiLewis: 0.600
iluri: 0.532
vong: 0.639
bucher: 0.605
FOKUS had a massive boost in performance when they benched one of their two German players and brought in JUGi who turned up and absolutely dominated the DACH VRL with the highest duelist RIS in the tournament expect FOKUS to be contenders powered by explosive performance from JUGi.

Team Falcons: 0.638
alvar: 0.666
SpYzera: 0.629
Fr4nky: 0.576
Moh: 0.674
OuTLaW: 0.647
With the Highest Team RIS of the tournament, even though Falcons come from what many consider the weakest VRL, they dominated their VRL and should be treated with the respect that the accomplishment deserves, with Moh having the best RIS of all controller in the tournament and the top RIS for his team they have a strong team and it will be great to see MENA play against the rest of EMEA again.

WARNING:
This is better used as comparison between players and teams from the same event as it doesn’t take into comparison the level of opponents they play against, I wanted to get this out before the VRL started to try and hype it up a little but throughout this year I hope to post more stuff using my RIS stat and derivatives of it throughout the year and using results from international tournaments or ones like VRL Promotion develop a reasonable accurate way of accounting for the challenge of the league teams have come from as Falcons is, at least from previous MENA results, not by far the best team of the tournament and the teams that came out of Challengers by far the worst.

at the start of they year who though FPX would be cracked and that M3C wouldn't be here

what did u expect for russian players whne iceland doesn't allow russians in rn?

riot have a 3/5ths rule for maintaining slots and Fnatic only had 1 russian player whereas FPX have 2 and Ange1 who is Ukranian and can't go to iceland as the country doesn't allow men between certain ages to leave as they need to fight. Therefore FPX are missing 3 members so don't have 3/5ths of the team that they qualified as so lose the spot.

How hard is it the two winners of the promotion tournament join the top 10 challengers 1

Liquid came fourth and beat guld to do it wtf would they play guild again they were both trying in the first game

Brazil is in south america so brazilian teams are south american therefore brazil loses to south amarican teams all the time

Please understand who ever wins out of NIP or KRU will cause the team that beat them in their own regions final to get the autoplayoffs spot

Plus there have been so many threads on this just read one of those

Gl

XL all the way

KRUPIUM

I feel like masters are important enough and prestigeous enought that you wouldn't troll even with no points

source? I mean i thikn thats the right thing to do but I haven't found it anywhere

Anyone know how the points are working do FPX just get the points wherever liquid place and liquid just play for fun and to try and win?

Bro its a massive chinese org it won't disband

thye get fucked due to no util

honestly give me shaz jet, vanity smokes, boaster flex, fns sentinel and bonecold sova and you have a team that could win as all of your players are jet or duelist one tricks minus nukkye

btw r u like the slightly troll Noyn of NA

btw r u like the fucking slightly troll Noyn of NA

surely at least 50% of this is troll

tbf I agree they could have let people who weren't definite keeps trial for other teams as well for the new 100t system

so he wants to igl?

no hiko as content creator?

please anyone but zombs 100t is the NA team I support and I beg no zombs much rather derrek

I think at least the _ got to go in order to see proper growth

I think _Dem needs a new roster

team1 because I would rather regions develop their own talent than import plus I think it is better

thow off then

unfortunately liquid is pro at throw

remember liquid beat g2

U dumb or just blind?

well lets find out either way I am hyped and hope they do well

jesus thats a good coaching staff to build a fucking good team

flexibility as you aren't as limited by just one wall most likely

and thats why the one non invited team made the final and is currently winning?

Germany not Netherlands so Deutch not Dutch

both british

I personally am not a fan but the leagues have run different formats through out playoffs ond groups at least in terms of maps per series so you can't really compare to any other leagues

banger

-hiko + Derrek and get Sean Gares or MikesHD as coach which ever sentinels hasn't got

they are a Ukranian organisation please just look it up

its a little harsh but I agree with the sentiment but it is his choice in the end

Wheel gang

nice that they are playing and not going for the we should be tier 1 so can't play antyhing but vct

Anyone know who any of the igl's were in the chinses tournament that just happened?

you can get a better strcuture with the same players and I think the player quality outside of hiko is better than rise so minus hiko plus derrek is just good for 100t and derreck imo

Liquid fans are giving a bad name to Liquid?

TSM would never

he is carrying RIse in half their games, at least by kills so I'm not sure it would be a downgrade for him if 100t could get a good structure before stage 2.

With it looking likeley that rise won't make playoffs and the 100t tweet about looking for a 5th what do people think of ethan moving to full time chamber/sentinel and picking up Derrek as a sova?
