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 3 of 9 maps
When they don't 7 of 9 maps
Difference -45 pts estimate range -71 to +1 pts field 19 pts
What that means
Does it change their result? The -45 pts gap sits inside an estimate range of -71 to +1 pts: real or noise, this sample cannot say. Is it a read on them? Not answerable yet: one of the two arms is 3 of 9 maps, too thin to carry a verdict.
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? whole field does this
When they do 7 of 8 maps
When they don't 3 of 10 maps
True of the field, not a read on them. They restart the map at the half. Bank utility for R13 specifically and treat 12->13 as its own prep item, not as 'round 13'.
Difference +58 pts estimate range +12 to +79 pts field 28 pts
What that means
Does it change their result? The +58 pts gap sits inside an estimate range of +12 to +79 pts: real or noise, this sample cannot say. Is it a read on them? No. The field lift is 28 pts and theirs sits +30 against it, so this is the game speaking about every team at once.
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?

Difference +25 pts estimate range -26 to +56 pts field 26 pts
What that means
Does it change their result? The +25 pts gap sits inside an estimate range of -26 to +56 pts: real or noise, this sample cannot say. Is it a read on them? Not answerable yet: one of the two arms is 3 of 4 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 +6 pts estimate range -37 to +44 pts field -33 pts
What that means
Does it change their result? The +6 pts gap sits inside an estimate range of -37 to +44 pts: real or noise, this sample cannot say. Is it a read on them? Not answerable yet: one of the two arms is 3 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 6 of 6 maps
When they don't 33% 12 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 +67 pts estimate range +19 to +86 pts field 48 pts
What that means
Does it change their result? The +67 pts gap sits inside an estimate range of +19 to +86 pts: real or noise, this sample cannot say. Is it a read on them? No. The field lift is 48 pts and theirs sits +19 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. The pale band inside each bar is that rate's estimate range: where the true rate most likely sits, given this sample. Who wins the coin-flip maps?

Difference -62 pts estimate range -82 to +8 pts field -5 pts
What that means
Does it change their result? The -62 pts gap sits inside an estimate range of -82 to +8 pts: real or noise, this sample cannot say. Is it a read on them? Not answerable yet: one of the two arms is 0 of 2 maps, too thin to carry a verdict.
won the previous round Denominator: non-pistol regulation rounds. Both bars are observed frequencies over this team's Stage 2 rounds, with no model behind them. The white hairline on each track is the field's rate for this condition, 64% across 4149 Champions-team rounds. The pale band inside each bar is that rate's estimate range: where the true rate most likely sits, given this sample. Do they string rounds together? whole field does this
When they do 60% 186 rounds
When they don't 45% 171 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 +15 pts estimate range +4 to +25 pts field 22 pts
What that means
Does it change their result? Yes, +15 pts (+4 to +25 pts). Is it a read on them? No. The field lift is 22 pts and theirs sits -7 against it, so this is the game speaking about every team at once.
lost the previous round Denominator: non-pistol regulation rounds. Both bars are observed frequencies over this team's Stage 2 rounds, with no model behind them. The white hairline on each track is the field's rate for this condition, 42% across 3684 Champions-team rounds.

When they do 45% 171 rounds
When they don't 60% 186 rounds
True of the field, not a read on them. Their reset speed. A low number means a won round is worth more than one round — press immediately.
Difference -15 pts estimate range -25 to -4 pts field -22 pts
What that means
Does it change their result? Yes, -15 pts (-25 to -4 pts). Is it a read on them? No. The field lift is -22 pts and theirs sits +7 against it, so this is the game speaking about every team at once.
have lost 2+ rounds in a row Denominator: non-pistol regulation rounds. Both bars are observed frequencies over this team's Stage 2 rounds, with no model behind them. The white hairline on each track is the field's rate for this condition, 42% across 2039 Champions-team rounds.

When they do 45% 87 rounds
When they don't 55% 270 rounds
Difference -10 pts estimate range -22 to +2 pts field -14 pts
What that means

Counts of distinct comps and agents grow with maps played, so each team's figure is resampled to a common 18-map exposure before comparison. The sample shown is the team's real number of maps.

No per-map decomposition for this one. Its season value is not a sum over maps: splitting it would produce rows that do not add back up to the number above, so none are shown. What the number is built from is below instead.

Defined asA deterministic draft-structure dimension (comp rigidity, role lock, off-meta rate...), RAREFIED to a common 18-map sample because raw counts of distinct comps/agents grow with maps played. value_text carries the raw value, the resampling sd, whether the dimension is a headline or a redundant cousin, and the cousin it duplicates.
