Of the 7 prestige events in CS2 so far Spirit and Vitality have each won 3. Spirit and Vitality each have 8 LAN wins in CS2. No other team has 5. In CS2 Vitality has a 56.5% WR on LAN vs top 20, Spirit has a 55.4% WR. The third best team is at 52.1% (and no longer exists).

A complete list of every single player in any role higher rated than EliGE on T side over the last 3 months:.1) donk.2) nobody 😃

None of these players were on a top 15 team on Nov 30. 5 years later chopper+sh1ro have won all 3 prestige events, qikert won one with Outsiders, and yeki has 2 top 20s. This is Spirit but with donk for yeki. See if you can build a major winning roster with 5 current T2 players.

NAVI's bench has more majors than the entire Falcons lineup.

Aurora on Mirage:

Since March 17th donk+sh1ro have combined for 1535 kills and 412 multikill rounds. Over that same timeframe all three of zont1x, magixx, and chopper have combined for 1529 kills with 346 multikills. Even s1mple+electroNic didn't outfrag all three of flamie/Zeus/Edward at once.

rain just gave away the AK that got 4 kills in what would have been an eco round for Mouz. He can't shoot back and it's killing Faze. 1/11 CT side earlier today with an eco frag and now this. Simply not good enough.

"Give rain his spots back he was so good."

mezii, kyxsan, and zont1x stand out as players with low 2K+% and 3K+%, but a very high percentage of their 2ks and 3ks come in quick succession, indicating their prowess as explosive players who decide rounds quickly (or they're spraying down ecos a lot).

ALL awpers are down at the bottom with the worst IGLs for how explosive their multikills are. In the 50 players I checked, all 11 awpers are in the bottom 15, joining snax, cadiaN, chopper, and magixx. On the flipside donk breaks the metric, but mezii is also quite high up.

HLTV have added a new feature where you can see more detail about multikills as well as added something they call "fast multikills" which are streaks of kills that occur within 5 seconds of the previous kill.

STAVN WHEN THE LIGHTS WERE BRIGHTEST.

rain 2020-2021 vs rain in the two years post IGS vs rain past 6 months. It wasn't good enough then, it's not good enough now.

Here's an article worth a read. The headline is incendiary but don't just scoff at it and click off, @n0miun raises some really great questions about how we as a community evaluate individual performance and whether the opening kill has any real value.

Note this doesn't take into account the fact that T side entries get traded frequently and 4v4s favor the T side, thus openers value is being slightly underrated.
