Biggest overperformers, kills over xK (2 maps):
jcobbb +15.4 (34 kills from 18.6)
Magisk +13.7 (41 from 27.3)
Twistzz +13.3 (33 from 19.7)
asap +12.6 (37 from 24.4)
FaZe vs BCGame, Dust2 + Nuke, through xK:
BCGame: 181 kills from 137.3 expected
FaZe: 158 kills from 115.3 expected
Both teams beat their xK by almost the same amount (+43.7 vs +42.7). The gap came from chances, not finishing
BIG vs The MongolZ, 3 maps (cache, inferno, mirage) through xK:
BIG: 173 kills from 131.1 expected
MongolZ: 170 kills from 131.3 expected
Almost identical on paper. BIG beat its xK by +15.5 on Cache, MongolZ by +15.5 on Inferno. On Mirage MongolZ simply had the bigger chances: 56.4 xK vs 43.9.
@h4rncs over 9 Acend matches: 138 kills from 104.8 expected (xK). That’s +3.7 per match, best on the roster.
Sides: CT +18.6, T +14.6. He’s the only one on the team stronger on CT, and the best CT player on Acend by a wide margin (next best +12.2).
Officially a free agent.
AWPer, 26, six years of pro CS behind me. Looking for a team with structure and shared goals, where I can keep improving and give everything for the guys next to me.
Thanks to @AcendClub for the last months.

Thanks for the comment. I agree and thats why I’ll keep pushing the idea that CS esports needs another dimension to how we evaluate kills. Not all kills are created equal.
The best metric still slept on🙂

Astralis beat FaZe 2-1 in ESL Pro League yesterday.
FaZe was creating way better chances overall, but one game decided everything.
Jabbi was deciding player as he overperformed his 37,59 expected kills with crazy 49 kills, but he wasn't alone, as top 3 players of this match up were all from Astralis (+staer +6 xK diff and phzy +6 xK diff)
