Casters Chad “SPUNJ” Burchill and Alex “Machine” Richardson got here up with a brand new statistic throughout the Brazilian Main that nobody appeared to concentrate to earlier than. They began monitoring Coach Timeout Conversion (CTC) throughout the matches to look at whether or not a coach is having the specified influence throughout tactical timeouts.
With the assistance of esports referee Michal Slowinski and software program growth supervisor Steve Dudenhoeffer, SPUNJ launched a desk at this time with all of the timeout conversion charges on the IEM Rio Main so far. And, surprisingly sufficient, NiP have been on the high at 57.14 p.c CTC, adopted by Outsiders (56.67 p.c) and Group Spirit (54.55 p.c).
NiP’s head coach Daniel “djL” Narancic talked along with his gamers in 14 timeouts and so they received eight rounds after that whereas dropping six. They misplaced to Fnatic, Outsiders, and Sprout throughout the IEM Rio Main and have been despatched house with out taking a single map.
Evil Geniuses (12.50 p.c), Group Liquid (16.67 p.c), and 9z (18.18 p.c) have been the groups with the bottom timeout conversion charges on the IEM Rio Main so far. Liquid have time to enhance in that regard since they’re nonetheless alive within the competitors and will make it into the playoffs.
In fact, this isn’t the one method to measure whether or not or not a coach is doing a very good job—particularly with this pattern measurement. It’s curious nonetheless, although, to see what groups are profiting from their tactical timeouts throughout some of the essential CS:GO tournaments of the yr.
