What All VCT Champions Have in Common

VCT Champions 2024 is approaching fast, so let's take a look at what all the previous Champs winners had in common, and what set them apart from the rest of the world class competition.

Saw a couple comments on this already so putting this out there for everyone!

Sorry to the stats nerds expecting a thorough statistical analysis! While I still think trading/economic efficiency (in a different form)/late round success metrics (in a different form) could all be a part of a real predictive model for performance, I recognize that round-related outcomes are going to be extremely biased towards teams with higher round win pct to begin with.

These stats were mostly for fun to try and bring attention to what team factors contribute to consistently high performances (closing out advantages, but simultaneously not relying on them to succeed), and what people might want to qualitatively look out for while watching Champs, but I understand your feedback that they quantitatively don't hold much weight.

I realized early on that there are probably too many limitations to make any solid predictions to begin with, which is why I emphasized not taking these predictions seriously towards the end of the video. With more time in the future I'll try to do a more legitimate stats video on something else, but hopefully you enjoyed the video as much as you could anyway😅

Bro really wanted those perfect pick’ems…

What all champions winning team has in common: They’re good at game

[noah]

what’s common is they never stayed together

EG ecos is not talked enough. The amount of times we saw them pull a round out of their ass because c0m had sova ult, ethan or jaw just owned an angle and got one more than they should have, or demon1 or boostio just popped off after picking up the vandal after clipping someone with a sheriff was insane. Literally at no moment in their champs run on a post timeout eco did I feel confident they would lose it.

your statistics are so good. i hope you make more of it especially for other team's analysis like TS which always one step away from qualifying for champs.

Commenting without watching the vid, I already know they all have a gaming chair

The first blood statistics perhaps were valuable if you included only one: either FB and Non FB. Taking into account both, you are sampling 100% of rounds and I feel like its just going to be biased to whoever wins the most (The Champions winners obviously).

The rest I feel as if are also biased to "whoever wins the most rounds" (Besides trades) which can just be equated to whoever is playing well. We all know the champs winners were playing well.

Though I think being able to win ECO's is huge and a good indicator of good tactics (in contrasts to just having good aim and mechanics. At least if were not talking the chamber meta)

Loud 2022 stats are crazy, every one in that roster is just insane...

[soraorganik]

Honestly, as a Computer Science student, I'd love to do some data mining on these stats haha

[AURAXKIRA]

Crazy time that goes into these videos 🔥

what all champions winning team has in common: they don't choke

[Gamer-xoim]

What PRX have the most post plants??? Something's not right with the data

Hey Platoon, love your analysis videos. Just as a method of solving the bias that winning teams have better stats, you could draw for each team 50 random rounds in a tournament that are wins and 50 random rounds that are losses to get non-win related statistics such as trade percentages. Of course 50 can be replaced with whatever number is appropriate (I just chose that number out of convenience) For win-related statistics, that problem would still persist but at least for such an important fundamental as trading or % of rounds won that are an eco this would solve that. ❤

so much work into the video, loved it

[Natty]

It's kind of funny how stats can still show stories, like how optic wasn't the best at trading but that might partly be due to yay single handidly destroying teams without needing to trade because of chamber and even though acend wast the top at trading they were still pretty high up there

[stefansiebert]

Great video! The data is simplified well and easy to read.

[moiradelaturret]

What a great video! Love the research that you put into it!

[edwardl]

The stats are proof that acend winning champs were just a fluke. I don't see any of the acend players getting highlights after the event

[alexwoodbury]

Fb win percentage feels like it has the obvious confound of the teams that win it all will have a higher round win percentage in general since they're winning, which would raise their fb win rate.
