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 NS LOUD Gap Reading Sample
Fewer wins by defuse 35% 46% -11 Not settled 143 defence round wins
Opening kills spread 26% 34% -7 Not settled 31 maps
Top fragger takes less 21% 25% -4 Different 31 maps
Kills spread evenly 20.1 20.5 -0.4 Not settled 31 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.

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.
