That's awesome!

• DZ231 vs 184TSM rounds played and too big of a diff in KDs between the two, favoring TSM - doesn't look good for DZ unfrt.
• Wardell is looking good while for past three games, DZ had some troubles in shuting down enemy's Jett.
• Hazed is in a good form and is a better kj/cyph DZ faced up to this point, let alone amazing clutcher. I think Hazed and Leviathan will be trying to shut down Andersin imho.
• For DZ, the fact that they have similar map pool could turn out to be interesting. Have they prepared other maps? We'll see....

Disregard me for leaving out other players from the quick glance though....
Will be interesting to go back after the match and see how thing have worked out based on your sheets. Thanks again for your time and work.

Nice one! Hope we're going to see more of this kind of threads from our comminity members.
If still bored, you can do the same for DarkZero and then compare them against each other on diff maps or just as kda. Also rounds played will add some depth.
Subroza needs to get his KD to 1.2 or at least over 1.1 for a tighter plays. Glad hazed is looking good.

bro plz... humanity won real life battles by using stats.

Shot out to Valorant Vods for exceptional work.

Thanks and I'm glad you think so.

But going further, I'd say that the article is not reliable in anyway towards Valorant. A typical PwC industry(even q1) analysis would include a good 100+ pages in it.... Meaning, a lot of data is simply absent from esportsobserver report, let alone sources. Riot doesn't share total players data per month or any, hence establishing GROWTH is impossible. And that's a very important indicator in such reports. Probably Riot share a lot of numbers in their reports behind the closed doors with potential sponsors and share holders but we have yet to see such annual report of their Valorant project. NGL I'd like to see that report too.

Advertising channels really.... At this point in time, for Riot, it doesn't matter who co-streams as long as the game gets out to the masses. However, there is only one but.... The higher a twitch streamer's impact over his or her viewers, the better for public acceptance, because that streamer(Shroud etc) is more likely to have a deeper influence on his or her viewers than official channels(mark101). Meaning, we're in the process of selling the product to potential customers, and the greater their loyalty to that streamer, the greater the effect, especially if the streamer enjoys the game. Therefore, we can see that spreading streams over different popular streamers has an actual meaning. And I assure you that Riot are taking this steps in a much more professional manner than Valve with CS as Valve's child had a way messed up(still is) history growing up.

Thanks, I didn't know that...

Well... 54% hs in 27 kills on icebox and over three maps 46% in 87 kills game is the highest hs% ever yet. So at least statswise al0rante is diff person then niesow as his stats looking insane even for niesow calibre.

How come other games don't have it on, like the ones from yesterday etc?

That's a new feature which is not implemented in other games stats yet.... thnx

You can't put a year old game like Valorant into category with games such LOL, Dota 2, CS or even Fortnite because the metric is not yet fully suitable for it. Remember it's an index, right? The metric include tournamnets and winning pool KPIs, besides Twitch views for the first quarter. CS wins ez over Valorant in this kpis because it's a developed game with it's own stable pro league and tournaments. Valorant is not there yet ffs... for valo the best kpis are Twitch viewership only atm! It acts as a public interest kpi, giving green light to corps such as Zowie, Razer and many many more to start puring $$$ into it. Given small tournaments and officials, Valorant still has a tiny total price pool history and way smaller than cs tournamnets numbers as market is not there yet - new game. As I said, twitch viewership and rest kpis associated with twitch are the most important kpis to watch at this stage, in order to judge its popularity and acceptance amongst the public.

Here's about the KPIs in the index... please take into account that the Distributed Esports Winnings and tournaments play very important part in the metric:

LAN will help.... Besides, why he can't be as good given he's talented, hungry and has exceptional dedication?

Ohh, last time I checked him on stream he was using g703 as well as what prosettings state. But I clearly remember he said it on stream.... though it was some long time ago.

No, in no way TR is a trash region. You have a new super team that might go far or Oxygen can surprise and upset some big teams EZ. But it's totally normal to look back and compare results and results didn't look good for TR back then, probabilistically and realistically speaking. Meaning that TR team had some blow and it can be a double blow if they fail this time too. Nothing wrong in trying to succeed after a fail and lots of us actually want to see TR put some real fight, despite being from other countries.

Same could be said about CIS and their teams- - they are actually strong. Be it Forze or Singularity, it won't be a walk in park in EMEA's playoffs. They all had time to prepare some strats and study their opponents, so old Gambit might look quite new and crisp, right? Though, Gambit has a little choking history and, I hope they won't repeat that tendency in their upcoming matches.

They're not DOGSHITs... It's just when you play against teams with a system, you will fall if you don't have any system to counteract them. PERIOD.
No matter how good you are you will always lose against teams with prepared and practiced systems(not only strats). Flukes are possible but let's be realistic.

Unlike rara(g703) he uses high sens - g pro wireless(not superlight) and also palm grip.

If you load his recent older matches, you'll find game with 62% but only on 11 kills.... seems like it was a stomp 13-2.

Yeah, as I stated he goes by the name DooMxx on twitch but in Russian. Yeah he is pretty good, nevermind his KD as he plays very aggressive Phoenix. What realy interesting for me that majority of his frags come from long distance duels like typical end to end Haven C type of duels so that high hs% is even more impressive. He used to play pro cs 1.6 in past and now has his team by the name feelmyhack.

FMH DooM has the highest hs% I've ever seen and has a tapping style:

https://tracker.gg/valorant/profile/riot/FMH%20DooM%23XXX/overview

So if you want to check him out, he plays quals and streams under name DooMxx but is in Russian unfortunately. The guy had 52% hs in 30k followed by 58% in 23k and If you wonder he play on gpw 0.5/800dpi. Others come to mind are ScreaM(0.393/800dpi steelseries heavy) and Alorante(0.35/400dpi on hardpad)

Judging by other ex-cs pros like ScreaM, Ange1, Nukkye or many others, they have a very good chance to shine. They both have top LAN experience and have performed equally and exceptionally good in cs pro scene top tier events in past. I personally very excited to see such calibre of players migrating to Valorant.

Come on bro, don't do them like that - JW is 26.

True about Shahz though.... I only mentioned about Wardell's individual level of playing Jett as it is still top Jett level as TenZ's or any other Jett around the world. I looked to me when TenZ arrived at SEN, they didn't know how to make him play so they left him on Jett letting Shahz play that Sinatraas Sova, right? And at the time TenZ couldn't play Raze.... Now it gets better in terms of TenZ Raze plays and his Reyna is pretty good. So SEN found the way to imploy TenZ in his best way anyway. But for me, it would be nice to see Shahz on Jett and TenZ on Raze or Reyna given Sick plays Sage or Skye at those times. I mean thats pretty much how they play icebox now.

I'd say babybay play faster Jett than Wardell similar to TenZ one. The closest Jett to what TSM and Wardell are trying to achieve would be cNed and Acend. You could se that reflected in their KD ratio plus first deaths and some more indicators. But it all lies in TSM strats really. If they want Wardell to play at faster pace on entries, they could build some plays for that. Or they could copy Acend plays cause it seems like they are reaching some perfection in their plays, given their winning record so far - nothing wrong in copying other teams strats/paced plays etc.

Wardell would need to change his style as he plays slower than TenZ at the entries. You could see that stat reflected in first deaths followed by first kills and assists left behind. Also Derke is trying to keep fast paced Jett plays similar to TenZ while cNed is slower similar to Wardell style. Obviously at time they change their paces but overall I'd say Wardell is way slower than TenZ which also could be something TSM might think of changing. Otherwise, I'd look at Acend play style if I were TSM as they look similar on comp to TSM or at least closest. Though, I personally liked more Shahz on Jett... Sorry for of topic.

If you point at the flag, it will display its country name.... They've added this function recently.

I'm feeling

Three medium hut pizzas pepperoni/farmhouse and vegetable + Ben & Jerry's cookie dough ... nap time

At the moment, Shahzam is the best option out of two because SEN still lacks a COACH, whilst Fnatik has Mini as a coach. Imagine having a top Sova/Jett player on your team who is also a coach/analyst and IGL, and who, based on his track record, is the best in the Valorant pro circuit. Consider how much effort Shahzam does at the highest level while other teams struggle and can't do much eventhough they have a separate roles for a coach and analyst within their teams. Imagine being SEN manager and how happy he/she is to have such a person in their roster. That's just mind boggling! Yet there're still 1Heads who shit on Shahz.

As I mentioned it's VCT sample and both played vs good teams, given TenZ was off at some point while Wardell played. The sample is still small and not reliable if you will. But bro let's be totally honest here, if you put Wardell in place of TenZ in SEN, there will be no significant difference(imho) nor there will be any diff if you put any top 6-8 Jetts in SEN(imho). However, you can only replace Sick with Victor because there aren't many top Phoenixes around and Sick makes lots of very important plays with Phoenix for SEN including those that make their Jett(TenZ) shine.

On the other note, ofc TSM is nowhere near SEN level as a team but individually they are all up there. The real question to be answered is how long TSM will fuck around untill they sit down and start playing like their individual level but as a team.

Fool, aren't you? it's VCT sample....equally both played no tiers while qualifying. The Noah Aiello, Neebs and Weebs or Interstate 95 and many more are god tier teams to you?

What do you mean by fragging capacity? Age or what? In case, ScreaM is 27 too and doing alright you know, let alone Ange1and the rest.

Aye, aimDLL has same agent pool(some credit to OP at least) but OP forgot about regions and that Kryptix actually has to play with ScreaM and Jamppi unlike aimDLL's uberfrager team partner Russ(Jett) who's left the team. The balance in the teams is totally different, giving aimDLL to frag which leads to false presumption that he is better than Kryptix. Next thread on here will prob be about soulcas and how he is bad cause he's Brit.... Kind of pathetic and gets old.

Kryptix is a decent player and last time he faced aimDLL he had +11 on him:

https://www.vlr.gg/16829/bbl-esports-vs-team-liquid-champions-tour-stage-2-emea-challengers-playoffs-opening-b/?game=all&tab=performance

and then he faced this dudes and stomped without sweat:

https://www.vlr.gg/16834/team-liquid-vs-oxygen-esports-champions-tour-stage-2-emea-challengers-playoffs-sf/?game=all&tab=overview

BTW Oxygen is top 1 in Turkey, no? Yes, overall aimDLL's stats are a tiny bit better but how credible are they if he is playing in a lower tier region? Can we compare them vs EU region?

I believe you are alowed to mention the country of origin of orgs. However you are prohibited from discussing its countries political decisions and whether those decisions were rigth or wrong. Especially, you are prohibited from directly/indirectly linking certain events and blaming(directly/indirectly) team members of some orgs for their countries political decisions. It is not our DIRECTION as eSports enthusiasts. There are many valid on topic methods of criticising orgs or teams performance but politics is not one of them. If mods have not cleaned it out, you can navigate to recent team Finest matches forum and read some of the most 1Head and embarassing replies from our dear vlr community members.

In all honesty, eventhough I said "best", you still should take my reply lightly as it was not a proper analysis of the two players but more like a confirmation that Wardell is still very capable to play top tier level. I used VCT data to do so and the sample of both is very close(TenZ(813) vs Wardell(813)). But if we were to do a REAL comparison of the two we'd prob only rank them based on maps as there's a lot of scewed data in there that needs to be filtered first.

I don't know about any carry but his stats are looking CRACKED:

https://www.vlr.gg/player/1160/niesow/?timespan=all

He is EU top 10 on Sova/Reyna and possibly Cypher(not enough matches tho) with second best average k:d of 1.41 across all agents on officials. I can go on an on but that right there is already more than impessive, given 961 rounds sample.

s0m = best smile in NA ....EZ tier S

Reminds me of ice hockey.... So, Sweden/Finland/Canada/USA and Russia + Ukraine/France

Don't worry, you are correct in your believe on Wardell - best Jett in NA. If you considered TenZ to be the best Jett, here's the link to our stats page, showing slightly diff pic....

Filter on NA-VCT-JETT-ALL:

https://www.vlr.gg/stats/?event_group_id=3&event_id=all&region=na&country=all&min_rounds=300&min_rating=1600&agent=jett&map_id=all&timespan=all

So, Wardell has higher ACS, ADR and k:d ratio than TenZ which technically make him a more impactful player(Jett). The rest is similar except that Wardell a better clutcher and has higher HS% - rifles/pistols as good as OP. BTW we are looking at two Jett players who use OPs(body shots to screw hs%), hence very close comparison. The round diff is also neglectable.

All looks legit as it is a VCT data, however TenZ is more decorated Jett in the game than Wardell. But I highly suggest to keep an eye on ABX Yay as he's been playing well on Jett too. gDay! --- Not TSM, SEN or C9 supporter myself... just numbers.

Way too many good players... but for NA

Thanks and I've seen that from Wedid.... He is a smart controller player and a good person. I somewhat support NRG and wish them best but consistency in this game is quite a bitch, especially on a pro team level. DarkZero though been playing really well... that final vs Soniq and win over Faze were a blast from them. Hope they'll continue to improve as they've shown they could put a good fight. I am personally interested in seeing DZ, EZ5 and RISE improve, given all three already have solid squads.

Agree I just had a glimpse but I aimed at Omen/Viper duo mains as all six players above play regularly unlike Vanity(Omen/Astra) or Leviathan(Viper/Sova) etc. Surely Vanity is top smoker in NA but I'd go with either nitr0 or Marved atm. Also we might take Viper data lightly as not enough data for some players(no 10+ matches over 60d).

Viper/Omen dual mains with occasional Astra ... from left to right based on (ACS):

VIPER: (230)Andersin, (219)Marved, (203)nitr0, (199)supamen, (177)zombs, (172)jcStani.

OMEN: (227)supamen, (220)Andersin, (219)nitr0, (217)jcStani, (214)Marved, (151)zombs.

Andersin has caught my eye recently in games DZ vs Faze and XSET as well as supamen who is one of the few underrated players in NA imho. Though as of now I'd put nitr0/Marved as top smokers in NA and supamen/jcStani need a bit more time to adapt to new teams. Andersin needs more games vs higher tear teams but he is def there among the best. Zombs is top1 world so nq gg.

No worries, even Chebyshev had to study fractions at some point.... Though games are typicaly for enterteinment and/or competition, hence people don't view them as brain savvy or anything IRL. There's no need to be controversial as many on here play Dota 2/CSGO and Valorant - my trio.

Nah, it just means that on average people on Twitch prefer LOL over Dota 2 and Valorant over CSGO. It has nothing to do with brain.
Speaking of brain, what's your major - what did you study in uni?
