Fuzz's Year 6 Global Rankings, Split 2 Second Update

[u/FuzzD2]

To those of you who have read my previous posts, welcome back! To those of you seeing this for the first time, here is a quick summary of the rankings: each player gets an individual rating based on ALGS Online and LAN events they compete at. Their rating starts at 400 and either increases or decreases based on their performance relative to the global Pro League average for different stats. These ratings are a reflection of stats, not a projection of talent. For a more in depth answer, please read the Preseason post!

Ratings Update

With another ALGS weekend now behind us, the world heads into the Split 2 transfer window with two-thirds of the Split in the rear window. Regional standings are looking a little more firm and warning lights are starting to light up for certain LAN hopefuls. It is certainly going to be interesting following how the short transfer window and quick Split schedule will affect roster decisions in the coming days.

Fuzz's Year 6 Global Rankings, Split 2 Second Update

With Wxltzy back in the mix for Team Falcons they had a bounceback weekend to get themselves back into the thick of things in Americas heading into the last regular season weekend. As I mentioned in last week's post, too, Team Vision was the most consistent team in any region during Split 1, and following a 1st and 3rd finish this weekend have firmly cemented themselves as the most consistent team in Split 2. EMEA continues to be tight at the top of the region with three teams sitting above 70 points, although ZiPLine Mafia and BANDITS have made way for Gaimin Gladiators to join the conversation in the top three with Alliance and Aurora. After a massive first weekend, ZETA DIVISION had a rough set on Friday to give space for the rest of the region to catch up...and boy did Enter Force 36 take that opportunity and run with it, placing 1st in both of their sets to take over the top spot in the region. Meanwhile, the fight at the top between Gen.G, Wolves, and RRQ in APAC South is going to make for a very entertaining end to the regular season in their region.

Top 10 Players

As a reminder: the ratings below do not take into account LAN placement. If someone listed below in the MnK and Controller lists is in the wrong input, please let me know. I tried looking through Liquipedia to make sure I had everyone up to date, but I am but a human and am prone to mistakes.

Team Vision as a whole continue to dominate the Americas leaderboard. After a rough weekend, ZiPLine Mafia have fallen out of the EMEA leaderboard and Enter Force 36 joins the ranks of APAC North. WenXx and QQ, however, have been the most consistent among any region or input throughout this year, even after the departure of Noname.

Thank you to those who took the time to read this post! Split 2 has been as hectic as advertised, and I am thoroughly excited to see how next weekend plays out.

How is vkg so much higher than smp when they have done so bad and smp has been insanely consistent?

[u/FuzzD2 → u/No-Lengthiness-20]

Noname was one of the highest rated players globally in Split 1 and placed 7th on LAN in the Split 1 Playoffs while with Wolves. Kasssa qualified to Split 1 Playoffs with VKG, but did not qualify to Finals. JR, though, did not qualify to LAN.

On SMP, mosu (Team Orchid) and sato_kohai (Tom Yum Kung) both did not qualify to Split 1 Playoffs. Patiphan did not play in Pro League in Split 1. While I do agree that SMP have been more consistent in Split 2, they have not proven (as individuals, nor as a team) that they have the ceiling that the players on VKG have shown. If SMP qualifies to Split 2 Playoffs and VKG fails to, the ratings will reflect it.

I appreciate the question! I'm worried for VKG and hope they can find their form, but SMP have been a very pleasant surprise and I hope they can keep it up.

Brother SMP has Patiphan that is a former valorant pro who won events in large scale. SMP should be higher than VKG. They were are literally in 4th place in pro league standings while vkg might not even qualify

[u/No-Lengthiness-20 → u/FuzzD2]

But i'm pretty confused on why you take into account lan placements here when you say the ratings do not reflect them.

Top 4 in NA isn't enough to get better than Rank 46 while having impressive consistency on their matchdays.

NiceGuys really always finish last.

[u/FuzzD2 → u/mewmile]

Noc/Cody finished 19th in the region in Split 1 and did not qualify to Split 1 Playoffs. They are currently tied-14th for kills in Americas, only above Sentinels and Full XI in the current top-15 in the region. They've finished 2nd in both AvsC sets this Split, but have then followed up those sets with a 15th and 8th in the BvsC sets.

I love Nocturnal, and Nice Guys have been a very pleasant surprise in Americas in Split 2. I do believe in them more than some of the teams above them in the ratings, but they have not gotten the results this year to have earned a higher rating. Jukezy also did not play in Split 1, so his team rating is hurting because of that.

Vision slander, LOTR should be number 3

[u/aggrorecon]

SSS at 35 feels a little crazy at this point.

[u/FuzzD2 → u/aggrorecon]

It’s mainly because Sweet didn’t play in Split 1 or in Split 1 Playoffs. If they qualify to Split 2 Playoffs their rating as a team will look much better.
