#1 prospect for a reason

@kaisz22 malbs anchoring on some maps will help siuhy on ct side. and idk if roland will stay long term. i expect a more conventional awper to arrive soon, its just not worked out

@NER0cs I dont know. Siuhy was an aggressive IGL at mouz. Roland was a aggresive AWPer when he came in. But if everything is failing, everybody is going to play a but more passive.

I’ve been harping on about this ever since YEKINDAR left so I am genuinely pleased Liquid have restored a balanced level of aggression in their rifle core Plenty of issues they don’t need reminding of but this is an NA rifle trio to build around

all that just for 6-6 😢

Come take a peek 🫣 Basically said Mario owns donk.

Liquid and G2 fans, come here 👋 @NER0cs and @Nohte invited @SwisherCS to discuss the recent malbs-NertZ trade, Liquid's subsequent return to Americas VRS, and other consequences of the move on our latest podcast: 📺 youtu.be/3i0AyK_rYQ0 🎧 open.spotify.com/episode/20fWek…

These charts are damning, but there's good reason to hope for an uptick in both teams NertZ-MATYS + EliGE-malbsMd are complementary pairings of lone wolf playmakers next to high trade volume site entries ie: Liquid lacked a selfless bomb-site entry, G2 lacked a 2nd in star

@LuzRaposa interesting, fair enough

I'm calculating "tradable death / trade kill opportunities" per round based on a proximity model and xertioN has almost exactly the same values (~0.2) as players like donk, xKac, xfloud, xiELO, etc. Spinx definitely does get to bait a lot more on the T side, but the resource gap ultimately correlates with higher expected kpr more strongly.

Mouz have a serious problem. Data from the last three tier 1 events.

@LuzRaposa yeah okay, makes sense. i wonder if including trading data might make it a bit more nuanced in some cases though e.g. xertion is traded more than he is trading, while spinx is the opposite. might narrow the gap a bit even if xert stays 1st

@NER0cs In pure economic resources, he's the highest resource T and CT rifler. In terms of role quality, him and Spinx are classic 1st and 2nd stars, with xertioN getting more team set-up from flashes, etc.

@LuzRaposa what's the difference in resources between spinx and xertion?

Torzsi didn't look too hot either, but his actions are much more conducive to winning rounds, as per aggregated round swing.

two breakout teams, one clutch difference all 5 PVISION players get more kills and die less than usual when the game gets late and close (9-9 onwards) FUT? 4 of 5 players are in the choking quadrant - let's see if they'll close it out against G2 today

"If you had five guys of nota's skill, a team that was completely fitting of his abilities alone, that team is probably ranked 25th in the world" @Mauisnake Where would PARIVISION be without Jame? More on "Come Here": 📺 youtu.be/BjrJFPBv1OA 🎧 open.spotify.com/episode/4sIRlV…

@rdygg_cs2 @LuzRaposa very nice piece @LuzRaposa

The cleanest part? Each role averages exactly ~0.04 KPR apart, ordered perfectly from AWPer to IGL. 20 years of CS role theory in one piece, by @LuzRaposa: rdy.gg/en/cs2/news/ro…

There is no consensus on what the five roles in Counter-Strike actually are. Every model we've ever used — entry/lurker, star/support, opener/closer — eventually breaks when a player refuses to fit the box. We tried to fix that. And, honestly, we think we did a good job.🧵

@diegoislame_ @HLTVorg in the 6 month sample these are the only people above a 1.15 rating against top 50 teams. so not sure who you mean

@HLTVorg xelex that high is pretty insane considering there are plenty of people under him either putting up better numbers vs similar competition or similar numbers vs much better competition.

🇲🇳cobrazera was towards the bottom end of the first few prospect lists, having not quite clicked into gear against top 50+ teams yet but in the last month, we saw his true potential on stage vs FURIA — and that's why he's this month's spotlight
