WES Masters Cup #1 stats recap

This two day online tournament finished yesterday with EG winning after some unneeded controversy, but I won’t talk about that here as it didn’t have much effect on the stats. So, let’s see who the heroes were.

The top team was without a doubt Evil Geniuses, who, on their road to victory played 14 maps, winning 12 and losing 2 (both on de_dust2, which might give us an indication where we won’t be seeing them much in IEM). They also had an impressive 70% rounds won during the event, probably enough to guarantee 1st place for anyone in any competition. At 2nd place stats start to take a different shape from the official final placing, as we now have H2k, who also lost only 2 maps during the entire event, both in the semi-finals vs EG, and both extremely close – one in overtime, and one 14-16. 3rd place again matches the respective cheque-winners as it is Playzone with an 8-5 record overall, but out of all those defeats, the biggest one was 12-16, meaning they always put up a good fight, even when they were losing. Which leads us to who is 4th (and why) – cbteam. They played great most of the time and had only 3 losses, but all of them were very convincing (only 17 rounds won in those 3 matches), including the final vs EG, which is why the stats didn’t look too kind on them.

Top Teams

#	Team	W	L	RW	RL	RW%	Rating
1.	EG	12	2	242	105	70%	1.20
2.	H2k	7	2	158	90	64%	1.14
3.	Playzone	8	5	217	156	58%	1.10
4.	cbteam	9	3	184	145	56%	1.09
5.	PinG	6	4	143	116	55%	1.03

Looking at the individual performances now, it was only natural for everyone’s stats to take a slight drop compared to the group stage, as they had to play against stronger opposition in the playoffs. Nevertheless, the order of things at the top didn’t change, as we have Playzone’s Dennis “dennis” Edman keeping the #1 spot after solid performance in the playoffs, especially on de_inferno vs cbteam. He also remained the player with the highest KPR (0.93). Just behind him is André  “BARBARR” Möller from H2k, with 0.87 KPR (3rd) and 0.55 DPR (2nd), but he lost the Top AWP award with the second-best 83 awp kills, mostly because he played only 3 maps in the playoffs. After that we have EG’s Danny “fRoD” Montaner, the one who did take the Top AWP award with 99 awp kills and was also the player who survived the most rounds (46%). Another thing worth mentioning is his performance on de_nuke in the Final, which was, with a 1.92 rating, one of the best performances in the whole tournament. The 4th best player according to the rating was another EG player, Tomi “lurppis” Kovanen, who also takes the Top Fragger and Top Rifler awards, and has the 2nd best KPR (0.88). Only two more players kept their rating above 1.20 after the playoffs, which should be kind of the line between great and good performances, and those two were Jordan “n0thing” Gilbert of EG and Preben “prb” Gammelsæter from cbteam.

10.	Karl-William 'kalle' Haraldsen	cbteam	0.79	0.69	1.13

In the end I would like to pick the MVP of the tournament, and also have you guys make your choice on the matter, so I’ll nominate the top 4 players, as they stood out the most, for you to vote for.

So, my pick for the Most Valuable Player of the tournament is Danny “fRoD” Montaner, as he didn’t fall behind much in any aspect of the stats compared to the two players with better rating than his, and he has, unlike them, managed to win the event.

Who's your pick?
