HP Operator Analysis Equalizer (Meta Breaking) Situation depended but even in worst scenario effective DM (Effective)Volatile Claw & War Machine (Average) Claw situation dependent & War Machine most consistent Tempest & Sparrow (Sub-Optimal) Peak barely above the grand mean

Lets start with Control Equalizer (Lower band lies above grand mean) Very close to meta breaking Though high band width implies situation specific but still even floor is higher than average DM and Sparrow (Mean lies in band) Lower band is much closer to band implying very close to being the meta. Both are highly volatile which is mainly due to low sample size as only 4 and 3 players used it respectively. In my opinion if there was enough sample size these would also be in equalizer category Tempest and Annihilator (Mean lies in band) Both are your average ops. They just work but no game breaking especially anni being most consistent operator. Tempest high volatility indicates a higher skill gap and also mismanagement War Machine (High band lies below mean) From only kills perspective the worst operator and by a big margin. I would like to ask the opinions of players and coaches on its zoning capabilities vs kill tradeoff Claw was used by only jezz, not enough data to conclude anything

Question Do you guys think was their any operator in playoffs until now which performed significantly better or worse than an average operator? If so, which operators do you think were better or worse? Also was results same for HP and control?

Post Match Stats ELEVATE vs Q9: 4 - 2 A masterclass series from @KingPeejayELV

This is the first time since WC 2022 no chinese team has made it to top 3 of an S tier event or an international event.

Map 4 Q9 vs Elevate first blood stats Both teams split first bloods 6 each but elevate converts only 1 first blood into win. Q9 4 out 6 into round wins

Post Match Stats ALULA vs GODL: 4 - 1 A monstrous series out of @lucaszinfps1

A crazy Stat in Slums SnD AlUla had only 4 first bloods out of 15 rounds. A 26.6% First blood rate

Now finally to swing mode Control GodL has been really good control team but they have to now go against best Control team. Not just best, its team which is 100 in every parameter GodL have shown lot of clutch moments and they will need it

In the playoffs vs elevate individually godl players stepped up massively in HP. Look at their season's Kills/10M vs playoffs Kills/10M VipeR 36.92 --> 37.59 SkullG 32.40 --> 43.37 Prevail 34.90 --> 34.69 Abh1z 32.94 --> 29.64 Warden 33.68 --> 37.59 Can they sustain this level?

Now coming to HP AlUla the best HP team in the league. They do everything. #1 in pace, #1 in volume and pressure, best teamwork and #2 in efficiency. GodL a good HP team but to beat AlUla in HP they will need to be more than good.

Looking at player profiles AlUla is heavily depend on Lucaszin. Other players are hovering around league averages or just below in most parameters GodL is opposite There is not really a dominant player but everyone is playing their role Prevail's FB% standouts for a non-sniper

Taking deeper look into AlUla vs GodL Matchup Starting with SnD Best mode for GodL (#1 in SnD, 80% win rate) Worst mode for AlUla (#4 in SnD, 74% win rate) In reg. season coastal was the go to map for both teams with 63% and 53% play rate for alula and godl respectively

Post Match Stats Galorys vs Elevate: 2-4 A monstrous series out of @susadnoo

BOX SCORE Q9 vs Wolves: 4 - 2 Pretty even series out of everyone except Wind

Wolves finishes CDM Spring 2026 5th-6th. This is the first time they have finished outside Top 3 since CDM S2 This is also the worst CDM finish for Zai. Before that it was 4th in CDM S1

Q9 vs Wolves. A rivalry which defines CDM They have played each other 45 times Wolves leads the all time score by 25-20 These have met in lower brackets only 3 times and it was always lower finals Today is the first time they play each other to make Top 4

In Map 4 Meltdown till 7-4 score both teams had 100% first blood to round win conversion After this OUG had 5 first blood but only 1 round converted to win. A 20% conversion rate While Q9 converted 3 out of 4 first bloods. A 75% conversion rate

All the active world champions are fighting for their tournament life in lower bracket. Only exception is King who is already eliminated. Which world champions will make it to LAN or maybe none?
