How the two are built

Agent roles and six team stats. 6 of the fingerprint's dimensions
different role mix Their most-used lineups have different numbers of duelists, initiators, controllers or sentinels.
Dimension G2 NRG Gap Reading Sample
More wins by defuse 54% 40% +14 Different 125 defence round wins
Opening kills spread 28% 32% -4 Same 22 maps
Top fragger takes less 21% 21% -1 Same 22 maps
Kills spread evenly 20.0 20.1 -0.1 Same 22 maps
Lower headshot % 25% 26% -1 Not settled 22 maps
Fewer assists per 100 kills 41.8 47.7 -5.9 Different 22 maps
“Not settled” means this sample does not separate the two values. The sample column is the smaller of the two teams' samples, in the unit that dimension counts, because a comparison is only as strong as its thinner side. These dimensions are not all independent: the structure ones restate how rigid a lineup is from different angles and move together, so read them as one family rather than as separate agreements.
How every other team is built against G2 15 teams

Role mix = the number of duelists, initiators, controllers and sentinels in a lineup.

This dimension does not separate teams. A team's position here moves between samples, so the order below is not a standing. It is shown because a flat dimension is a finding, and dimmed everywhere else on the site for the same reason.
