PEPS Analysis: Four Angry Men Team Average
The PUBG Esports Player Stats (PEPS ) highlights pro player's gameplay styles and patterns-giving us a small inside look at the success driving teams to the top.
In Weekly Final Week 2, Four Angry Men played as an absolute unit.A powerhouse of a team known for their offensive style!In virtually all Battle, Strategy, and Experience stats (circle graph), Four Angry Men's Team Average was above 60 points!In their team play-style (bar graph), the unit performed imaginably balanced-usually aiming for an early, mid-circle drop.Whether fighting at short or long distance, on Miramar or Erangel, defensively or offensively, Four Angry Men's team balance shines!
Weekly Final Week 2-Top 5 Kill and Damage Leaders
Even as Four Angry Men claimed Weekly Final Week 2, no single particular member outshined the rest.That means Four Angry Men is a consistent force to be reckoned with in PGI.S!
Regardless, we must give credit where credit is due.. Do these players leading the Top Kill and Damage during the Weekly Final surprise you?
In terms of kills, Team Liquid's jeemzz held it down.A staggering 19-kill weekend wasn't enough to lift Team Liquid out of position #7 at the end of the Weekly Final.Gen.G Pio and Loki-we see you're teamwork, dropping a massive 30 kills between the two of you.
infantry's lead in damage comes as no surprise as LongSkr scored almost 300 damage compared to #2 player-Daytrade Gaming Nourinz.LongSkr's positioning on both Kill and Damage leaders puts his barrel as most deadly after Week 2-not someone to 1v1 in a compound!
Weekly Final-Bottom16
Teams in the Bottom16 don't fight for cash, but they fight for opportunity-equally as important in the upcoming weeks at PGI.S!Within 8 matches, the Bottom16 teams have a chance to position themselves soonest to secure a WWCD in PGI.S Weekly Series #3!Last week, Global Esports Xsset surprised everyone by snagging a Weekly Final placement with only 2 games in Weekly Survival, so for teams positioned #25-31, there's still a fighting chance!
This time DetonatioN Gaming White is stuck in the waiting room until the forthcoming Weekly Series!
At the end of Bottom16 Week 2, Meta Gaming, TSM, and T1 will be the first 3 teams to enter the survival ring!
