Results by game state

13 conditions · compared with the 16 Champions teams
won the first pistol (R1) Denominator: maps. Both bars are observed frequencies over this team's Stage 2 maps, with no model behind them. The white hairline on each track is the field's rate for this condition, 69% across 233 Champions-team maps. The pale band inside each bar is that rate's estimate range: where the true rate most likely sits, given this sample. Does the first pistol decide their map?
When they do 67% 18 maps
When they don't 50% 14 maps
Difference +17 pts estimate range -16 to +46 pts field 19 pts
What that means
Does it change their result? The +17 pts gap sits inside an estimate range of -16 to +46 pts: real or noise, this sample cannot say. Is it a read on them? No. Their rate with the condition is within noise of their rate without it. For scale, the field averages 69% with this condition.
won the second pistol (R13) Denominator: maps. Both bars are observed frequencies over this team's Stage 2 maps, with no model behind them. The white hairline on each track is the field's rate for this condition, 74% across 210 Champions-team maps. The pale band inside each bar is that rate's estimate range: where the true rate most likely sits, given this sample. Does the second pistol decide their map?

Difference -4 pts estimate range -34 to +28 pts field 28 pts
What that means
Does it change their result? The -4 pts gap sits inside an estimate range of -34 to +28 pts: real or noise, this sample cannot say. Is it a read on them? No. Their rate with the condition is within noise of their rate without it. For scale, the field averages 74% with this condition.
won BOTH pistols Denominator: maps. Both bars are observed frequencies over this team's Stage 2 maps, with no model behind them. The white hairline on each track is the field's rate for this condition, 78% across 129 Champions-team maps. The pale band inside each bar is that rate's estimate range: where the true rate most likely sits, given this sample. When they take both pistols, do they close it out?
When they do 6 of 10 maps
When they don't 59% 22 maps
Difference +1 pts estimate range -33 to +32 pts field 26 pts
What that means
Does it change their result? The +1 pts gap sits inside an estimate range of -33 to +32 pts: real or noise, this sample cannot say. Is it a read on them? Not answerable yet: one of the two arms is 6 of 10 maps, too thin to carry a verdict.
won NEITHER pistol Denominator: maps. Both bars are observed frequencies over this team's Stage 2 maps, with no model behind them. The white hairline on each track is the field's rate for this condition, 36% across 101 Champions-team maps. The pale band inside each bar is that rate's estimate range: where the true rate most likely sits, given this sample. Can they win a map after losing both pistols?

Difference -23 pts estimate range -55 to +18 pts field -33 pts
What that means
Does it change their result? The -23 pts gap sits inside an estimate range of -55 to +18 pts: real or noise, this sample cannot say. Is it a read on them? Not answerable yet: one of the two arms is 2 of 5 maps, too thin to carry a verdict.
led at half-time Denominator: maps. Both bars are observed frequencies over this team's Stage 2 maps, with no model behind them. The white hairline on each track is the field's rate for this condition, 84% across 209 Champions-team maps. The pale band inside each bar is that rate's estimate range: where the true rate most likely sits, given this sample. Do they hold a half-time lead? whole field does this
When they do 94% 16 maps
When they don't 25% 16 maps
True of the field, not a read on them. They convert leads. The prep target is the FIRST half, not the comeback; a 6-6 half is already a win for you.
Difference +69 pts estimate range +36 to +84 pts field 48 pts
What that means
Does it change their result? Yes, +69 pts (+36 to +84 pts). Is it a read on them? No. The field lift is 48 pts and theirs sits +21 against it, so this is the game speaking about every team at once.
reached half-time tied 6-6 Denominator: maps. Both bars are observed frequencies over this team's Stage 2 maps, with no model behind them. The white hairline on each track is the field's rate for this condition, 58% across 59 Champions-team maps.

When they do 1 of 5 maps
When they don't 67% 27 maps
True of the field, not a read on them. Coin-flip halves are where their second-half adjustment shows. Have a half-time change ready that does not depend on which side you start.
Difference -47 pts estimate range -69 to -0 pts field -3 pts
What that means
Does it change their result? The -47 pts gap sits inside an estimate range of -69 to -0 pts: real or noise, this sample cannot say. Is it a read on them? No. The field lift is -3 pts and theirs sits -43 against it, so this is the game speaking about every team at once.

The white hairline on each track is the field's rate for this condition, 28% across 147 Champions-team maps. The pale band inside each bar is that rate's estimate range: where the true rate most likely sits, given this sample. Can they come back from a half-time deficit? whole field does this
When they do 3 of 11 maps
When they don't 76% 21 maps
True of the field, not a read on them. Their comeback rate. If it is low, a first-half lead is close to match point; if high, do not relax a 8-4.
Difference -49 pts estimate range -71 to -13 pts field -50 pts
What that means
Does it change their result? The -49 pts gap sits inside an estimate range of -71 to -13 pts: real or noise, this sample cannot say. Is it a read on them? No. The field lift is -50 pts and theirs sits +2 against it, so this is the game speaking about every team at once.
playing their OWN map pick Denominator: maps. Both bars are observed frequencies over this team's Stage 2 maps, with no model behind them. The white hairline on each track is the field's rate for this condition, 63% across 175 Champions-team maps. The pale band inside each bar is that rate's estimate range: where the true rate most likely sits, given this sample. Is their own pick actually their advantage?

playing the OPPONENT'S pick Denominator: maps. Both bars are observed frequencies over this team's Stage 2 maps, with no model behind them. The white hairline on each track is the field's rate for this condition, 59% across 174 Champions-team maps. The pale band inside each bar is that rate's estimate range: where the true rate most likely sits, given this sample. How do they travel on someone else's pick?

Difference -2 pts estimate range -34 to +29 pts field -2 pts
What that means
Does it change their result? The -2 pts gap sits inside an estimate range of -34 to +29 pts: real or noise, this sample cannot say. Is it a read on them? No. Their rate with the condition is within noise of their rate without it. For scale, the field averages 59% with this condition.
playing a decider (neither team picked it) Denominator: maps. Both bars are observed frequencies over this team's Stage 2 maps, with no model behind them. The white hairline on each track is the field's rate for this condition, 56% across 66 Champions-team maps.

When they do 64% 326 rounds
When they don't 42% 279 rounds
True of the field, not a read on them. Break the chain: their strongest round is the one after a win, so the highest-value round to spend utility on is the one you are about to lose anyway.
Difference +22 pts estimate range +14 to +29 pts field 22 pts
What that means
Does it change their result? Yes, +22 pts (+14 to +29 pts). Is it a read on them? No. The field lift is 22 pts and theirs sits -0 against it, so this is the game speaking about every team at once.

When they do 42% 279 rounds
When they don't 64% 326 rounds

When they do 45% 154 rounds
When they don't 57% 451 rounds
True of the field, not a read on them. The skid round. If it is low, a two-round run is the moment to take risk; if high, they are hardest to close out and you should bank economy rather than force.
