Using Data To Find The Best Valorant Player In The World 

yo, at the start of the video, you showed a piece of code with if statements and methods to calculate the impact and ratings of players. For this, does the code also directly take in data from the matches or do you have to import the data as a spreadsheet/vlr link? Also, is there anyway to share the code to read?

@@Flashfirexdd It just parses a spreadsheet provided to my by Augment.gg. I can give you a snippet here which is what I used to calculate one of the first graphs: paste.ofcode.org/zcTcBs6fx87Q3w4trFkhwd. I saw some others ask about this so in the future I may consider doing some BTS for how I conduct these analyses. Thanks for the comment!

@@platoonval thanks

Why wasn’t Lock/In used in the data set? I feel the charts might look different I think Chronicle especially (although not best player contender) is pulled down by his poorer performance at Champions compared to Masters and Lock/in and more data would be better + I’m interested to see how it changes the data. Is there anyway you could compare/publish the data with lock/in added?

Jingg has been the best 1st and 2nd entry of PRX with his trading and entry...when something was included he could focus more on 2nd entry and helped the team.

Jeremy > Jingggg noob

@@AldricBenjie sure

@@AldricBenjieI’m pinoy but I ain’t that delusional, Jinggg literally gets copied by everyone

​@@AldricBenjie you're probably the reason why Filipinos get a bad rep when it comes to "Pinoy Pride"

Holy it's him! Appreciate the comment and goodluck next season!!!

yowww, It's Cned. good luck next season Broo, even tho i root for other team but i cant ignore amazing talent like youu.

cned!!!!!

I would say smthg is pretty close to him. Watching them demolished others while doing crazy stuff were fun as heck

@@zadsazhad yeah something is pretty close too and crazy fun but sometimes when i watch jinggg his movement is something else. it's always jinggg airlines and he's using raze not jett xD

True! I think ppl confuse crazy aim/flicks with insanity playstyle. Jingg has crazy aim but his movement is what sets him apart. Sometimes is not a movement player so much, but has movement.@@0blivianne

jawgemo on raze is underrated

@@ImPerkkk Ah yes PRX Sometimes, the crazy Russian Jett

Is he taking a break? I thought Jingg was srraigjt up retiring

@@kiowaflyboy hes gotta do military service. but he said he is 100 going to come back after. if hes not washed by then

he said he was going to pursue university after and probably leave the professional scene@@mr.miyagi9004

⁠@@mr.miyagi9004depends on how long is -Indonesia- Singapore’s obligatory military service, 1 year? 2 years? If it’s just one year I think he can get back to the top

its 2 years@@Lucaz99

This duo is just sooooo impactful. I mean, Something is really good mechanically, but I think he lacks a bit of good decision making.

@@Spicyyy832hmm idk about that, I seen games where jing usually the one to overheat more

@@Spicyyy832 Something's decision making is actually a lot better than Jinggg. Nothing against Jinggg, bt he is a more "tell me what to do, and I'll do it perfectly" kind of player. He's also one of the 3 players who calls mid rounds for the team(forsaken and davai being the other 2) In a few important series(Loud and EG upper Finals), Something was doing the mid-round calls for a few rounds. One of the notable ones being in Lotus map against Loud, where all of PRX flooding in through rotating doors into Viper ult and winning thrifty. He is a very intelligent player

@@maibigbutt3746 yeah, actually Jinggg overheats a lot. You’re right, my friend. And I truly believe he’s (smth) quite intelligent (didn’t know about the mid round calls by him) The only thing is sometimes I don’t understand why he doing certain things, especially when oping.

@@waytun9608 true that, Jinggg is a crazy dude.

Someone else commented this and I agree it would be good to include death stats as well! Certainly will look to do something of the sort in the future.

dayym this would have been genuis

Yep. This was a huge discussion for Jingg in the APAC region considering he died first a lot

After thinking about it here's my response that I also posted in the thread but can't pin because I have to keep my sponsor up 😄: A lot of people have commented on considering deaths as impact lost into the last statistic and here are my thoughts on it after thinking for a bit: It's certainly a great point but the issue is that impact of a kill if traded does not become 0. In fact, many top players have the opinion that an entry who gets the first kill and dies is very valuable, because they took initiative, challenged space, gained info, and then started the chain of trades where your team is much more likely to come out on top. It's true that a kill that isn't traded is "worth more", but how much more? In the end it's better to just treat them all the same and let the statistics balance themselves out instead of applying an artificial value. What do I mean by balancing itself out? If you think about it, when you live later on into a match, you inherently will have the opportunity for more important kills. For example, if you kill every single player bringing the round from a 5v5 to a 5v0, you only earn 50% impact, but if you clutch a 1v1, you immediately gain 50% impact for winning. The statistic naturally balances out these situations.

@@platoonvalyou should’ve atleast included in traded deaths then as a 4th statistic just to see who throws the most and the least.

that’s actually why i think he’s the most valuable player in the world every single round LOUD play is opened up by aspas in some way, either directly by frags or indirectly by the space he takes

He got traded😢

​@@crackjee9301Lmao he did didnt he

they just lost the final match , dont forget they beat EG in semi's

@@divam_delusional_GE_fan unfortunately their individual performances weren't what they needed to secure the championship, I'm sure they gave it their best tho

​@@divam_delusional_GE_fanEG were always better than PRX They should've won Upper finals if they didn't choke an 11-6 lead EG winning despite PRX having 2 map bans shows how insane they were

@@king_thanos_2116 EG is insanse , but fundamentally . PRX's weakness is their own style, they can't dominate a map with their hyper aggressive-ness as said by Alecks himself. Hence why it doesn't really matter as much even if they have a 2 map advantage . They even lost the 1st 2 maps against DRX in the Pacific Final . The next step towards their evolution is probably improving their pistols and truly hammer down a certain map to be their own like EG's Fracture.

@@king_thanos_2116the map bans were never important. prx and eg are both bad at haven, so that ban was irrelevant, and prx fracture was arguably their best map, which they had to ban because eg’s was just better, so both teams were essentially even

HES BACK

Do you mean based on their deaths?

Interesting ideas guys! I'll definitely look to do some more death-related stats in the future!

​@@platoonvalmaybe Assist would be also important. Idk

@@lukyschmunzel1888 Very true I originally wanted to include assists in the impact calculation but was not able to discern it from my data. Hopefully in the future!

@@platoonvalI think adding up deaths is really important to level it out, mistakes lose rounds and are as important as good plays that win rounds. On top of that, teams with more rounds won in total may be skewing the data? From all the teams you analyzed you'd have to level it out to for example the highest common number. If a team won 340 rounds and lost 310, then analyzing 310 wins and losses would make sense. Otherwise a team that lost more as a whole may have lower percentage of 'round winning impact kills' across the board, and it depends on who they played against, etc.

I'll consider it as a future idea!

I also underestimated Jinggg to be honest since he was never in any discussions but was pleasantly surprised when looking at the data myself!

if only prx win champions, everyone would think jingg is the best player in the world. EG winning doesn't do much for valorant, especially with that scummy org behind them

same, I didn't know jing was this impactful

Appreciate the amazing quality and analysis done on the game and keeping me hooked even when I don't play the game anymore!

The fact cned was so impactful and yet Navi was so poor, doesn’t fill me with a lot of confidence for Navi 2024. Although their championship run under FPX in 2022 would also be interesting to analyze.

@@Lucaz99 they will be better this year for sure you could tell they didn't know how to play with CNed.

​@@Lucaz99as we know from eg, it's the team cohesion that matters more than single player impact. So maybe Navi would be better, we just have to wait and see.

@@Jinx-iw6zb that’s a good point. But even though EG didn’t have the best players, they still had really good individual players, good coordination AND Potter who scouted the entire team and was their coach. Only time will tell with Navi tho.

@@Lucaz99 you can just tell that NAVI had role issues just like how NRG faced the issue this year. Ardiis being back stabilizes the role in the team and he can fix ange1's trolling sensation now

For sure there will always be things we can't measure but one step at a time we strive to get closer to the truth!

Still hidden.

Aspas

He was really good in the year he was the best player but GOAT conversations require a longer period of consistency. Basically 5 years at a very high level is better than 1 super dominant year. But I think yay has the chance to make a comeback this year with Bleed. If he performs well, maybe he can get back to the top.

cned 2021

Leo has already surpassed him😂 leo had better stats in 2023, also won more trophies and mvp titles valorant in 2022 was much weaker than 2023 as well

Aspas is becoming the GOAT, we need consistency.
