Who's going to be the #PGLMajor MVP?

I take a look at the form of the favourites 🧵
Where to start other than s1mple?

Top of his class in Rating and Impact, he remains the best in the world despite unimaginable external pressure Image
The best team in the world's AWPer is usually a good bet for MVP

broky may not open rounds but he doesn't need to. If we had a radar chart for when it was 14-14 not many would be close. Image
His main competition might come from ropz, who was MVP last time out at EPL and shares broky's incredible clutch factor Image
Still just 20, sh1ro has been putting together a monstrous 2022.

Whether he can maintain his s1mple-level form in front of a big crowd will be a huge win condition for Cloud9 Image
The same goes for Ax1Le, who has the highest rating of any rifler in 2022 with more than 20 maps played Image
stavn's 2022 has destroyed the perception that Heroic lack a superstar.

Denmark's best rifler — and maybe best AWPer too — will be key if they are to lose their onliner tag in Antwerp Image
Even in 'bad' form by his standards, ZywOo scores in the top 20% of AWPers for Rating, KPR, and Impact.

After going immortal in his opener, he might be heating up just in time for a resurgence

Image
In Stockholm and the back end of 2021, NiKo ascended to a level few other rifles could dream of

G2 will hope to have him back at that level. If he does, I'm gonna have to update the scale on this chart. Image

- YEKINDAR giving Outsiders a leaving present?
- Major winner HObbit ImageImage

The scoreboard never lies - but it doesn't tell the full story either

Here's a thread on stats in #CSGO, using @brendankent's metric framework 🧵
First, a quick explanation of the framework

The key thing to bear in mind is that 'factual' stats become 'proxies' depending on what we are quantifying

KPR is a 'fact' if you're measuring how many kills a player got, but it's a 'proxy' if we're defining how *good* a player is
We'll start with the purest measure of fragging: KPR

It's simplicity is a bonus but it has several blind spots that mean it's pretty rare to see it these days.
