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 59% 17 maps
When they don't 7 of 10 maps
Difference -11 pts estimate range -41 to +25 pts field 19 pts
What that means
Does it change their result? The -11 pts gap sits inside an estimate range of -41 to +25 pts: real or noise, this sample cannot say. Is it a read on them? Not answerable yet: one of the two arms is 10 of 17 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?
When they do 67% 12 maps
When they don't 60% 15 maps
Difference +7 pts estimate range -28 to +38 pts field 28 pts
What that means
Does it change their result? The +7 pts gap sits inside an estimate range of -28 to +38 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?

Difference +11 pts estimate range -25 to +41 pts field 26 pts
What that means
Does it change their result? The +11 pts gap sits inside an estimate range of -25 to +41 pts: real or noise, this sample cannot say. Is it a read on them? Not answerable yet: one of the two arms is 7 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?

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 87% 15 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 +54 pts estimate range +16 to +75 pts field 48 pts
What that means
Does it change their result? Yes, +54 pts (+16 to +75 pts). Is it a read on them? No. The field lift is 48 pts and theirs sits +6 against it, so this is the game speaking about every team at once.

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. 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 handle the map neither side chose? sample too thin

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? exploit
When they do 69% 268 rounds
When they don't 36% 233 rounds
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 +33 pts estimate range +24 to +41 pts field 22 pts
What that means
Does it change their result? Yes, +33 pts (+24 to +41 pts). Is it a read on them? Yes. Their lift clears the field's own 22 pts by +11.
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.

When they do 36% 233 rounds
When they don't 69% 268 rounds
Their reset speed. A low number means a won round is worth more than one round — press immediately.
Difference -33 pts estimate range -41 to -24 pts field -22 pts
What that means
Does it change their result? Yes, -33 pts (-41 to -24 pts). Is it a read on them? Yes. Their lift clears the field's own -22 pts by -11.
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.

When they do 38% 137 rounds
When they don't 60% 364 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.
Difference -22 pts estimate range -31 to -12 pts field -14 pts
What that means
Does it change their result? Yes, -22 pts (-31 to -12 pts). Is it a read on them? No. The field lift is -14 pts and theirs sits -8 against it, so this is the game speaking about every team at once.
