"Anything that can go wrong, will go wrong" - Murphy's Law "The simple answer is usually the correct one" - slant of Occam's Razor "...you must start each half, with a pistol round" - S1mple's Certainty Principle
@@Fishy-gc2yy There is no clear answer really. 2 sides to this thing: In Valorant the rounds after pistol matter ALOT more, but you also can force way stronger in valorant than CS:GO, resulting in more round 2 force wins. In CS:GO the ct economy can easily recover after 1 eco after a force, but the force buy is way weaker, resulting in less wins.
I can never get over Snax's reaction to that insane clutch - he's straight faced, gives high fives to his teammates and doesn't look fazed while the rest of his team are bewildered - it's awesome haha
The only thing that data tells me is that it is a predictor, especialy for valve's stats. If i am a better gunner, the higher chance is that i win the pistol round, and if im a better gunner, the higher chance is that i win the game. Of course, its true that it has an impact, but id argue it is less important due to the fact that a better team should win the pistol, and the better team should win the match
Also the stat about force rounds conversion... The conversion rate might only be so high BECAUSE so little pro's force. IE they only force when they have a strategy in mind, or something they know they can exploit. This is purely speculative, but something to keep in mind. Those numbers don't mean shit without the context
It's indeed E minor, but you can know that with the previous shots on kills, the notes you hear then are E F# G A, which are all part of either G major, D major, B minor or E minor, but the whole thing turns around the E, so E minor is correct. The end of round chords are just a minor chord on e repeated (and reversed once).
It can't be just me that just loves pistol rounds, it's neat, fast and simple, you don't have to worry peeking mirage window without getting awped, I just love pistols all together.
I honestly think that the fact that 90% of teams tend to save in valorant might contribute to the average of less rounds, because the people who force buy are very confident, and they may be forcing in games where they are not afraid of losing, or are very confident that they are gonna win the game anyway so they don't mind forcing.
Let's not forget the 11-4 scorline pistol round importance. Basically winning the pistol and the following round when you're 11-4 down is almost a guaranteed comeback
Also, they forgot to mention that back in 2016 CS, the pistol round was way more important because of how punishing the economy system was. Before 2018, if you lose the pistol round, you get the base 1.4k loss reward instead of the current 1.9k. Before 2019, winning a round resets the loss bonus (a.k.a money fucked) so you can go 1-6/7 after losing pistol, winning round 3/4 and losing the one after that.
I think you also have to consider that teams that win both pistol rounds, maybe they are just better teams overall. Therefore, most likely winning pistol rounds and most likely taking the series as well. The calculation should also consider the strength difference between the team to truly understand the importance of pistol rounds.
I got immediately distracted by Colton's villain mustache, and then his Ina poster. And then the girl_dm video playing. I had to rewatch the segment lmfao
The one thing I think you forgot to mention in Valorant is the ultimate economy. And that a good pistol and anti eco can help you start snowballing the match if you get important ults online for the bonus or first full buy round. Something which is a lot harder If you loose the pistol
This was my thought exactly. Especially that last note, the underlying sounds build more of a minor chord tension (but I'm not good enough to pick out the actual notes).

I almost shat myself after i just did a 1v4 clutch on competitive Mirage with only a USP-S. The bomb was bout to explode but i had enough time to defuse it, without a kit. It was 8:9 and we were about to lose, and also won the next rounds and won the game. My teammates was shocked after that round. After the game, they sent me some skins: a MW AK slate, FT Glock Bullet Queen, and a FT M4 Buzz Kill as gifts. We became friends too :). Yes, this is a real story and i just wasted my time writing this
In order to do a proper statistical analysis, you cant just take win rate when winning both pistol rounds... you have to compare that to win rate when two randomly selected rounds are won
Sounds like survivorship bias. They didn't take the winning rate of all conditions, instead they just took the winning rate of the survivors (winning 2 pistol rounds)
Yeah this also bugged me for the Valorant section. Since it requires you less rounds to win a Valorant game compared to CS:GO, winning both pistol rounds means you win a larger portion of the match, which directly translates to the increase in % winrate.
@Shuaces it's not survivorship bias imo. Pustol rounds wouldnt count as "survivors" under the operational defionition. It's more basic than that. If you claim statistical significance of pistol rounds relative to any given round, you actually have to measure the impact of any given round. (In this case two random rounds won vs two pistol rounds won)
Exactly, wanted to comment just this. I was quite disappointed that the comparison to two randomly selected rounds wasn't included, because this is the only useful metric.
Honestly most of my best rounds are in the pistol rounds, I often get 2 or 3 kills, only to lose the round cause my team fights the last 2 people 1v1 instead of refragging each other even though it's a 2v4...
I think the only problem with these statistics is that a team that wins 2/2 pistol rounds is also likely to be the better team in general, so they are likely to win the match. The question is if it's just causation, or also a bit of correlation
As WarOwl said, sometimes your strats and utilities wouldn’t matter if the enemy team aims significantly better than you where in they could run and gun and get away with it most of the time. That is why the team that wins both pistol rounds get a higher chance at winning.
This is why i think pistil rounds make a big impact bcs of - 1) it decideswho has a better econymy 2) If you have a bad econmy no good gun bcs no utility = Relying a lot on mechanical skill which most ppl dont have a lot But buying utilities and a bad gun is if your playing in a higher elo then ppl will know how to play around your utility and bcs you have a bad gun have a higher chance of getting killed which will lead to more economic loss
I don't regret switchihg from cs to valorant but what i really miss are the cs pistol rounds, the weapon diversity and the CT or T weapon differences. Hitting a run and gun glock one tap or a usp onetap is one of the best thing to ever experience. I also hope valorant will add new guns sometime. The team differnce has no real place in valorant but i still miss it.
This is also a theory that I got from watching pro match and playing fps (mainly val and cs). After winning a pistol round, the team who wins have this "momentum" that gives them more confident. That is why (most of the time) they like to go aggressive on the second round since they know they have the better guns and utilities. However, there is also times where they mess up in the second round(getting ecoed by the other team due to being way to confident). But in general winning a pistol round gives you two thing: money in the bank and confidence.
Zoltan: *Brings out the numbers about winning/losing pistol rounds in terms of economy.* Me, focusing on the background: Wait, is that girl_dm in the background monitor?
Colton, I love the fact you brought up that E minor scale bit, I've said the same thing to my friends who play Valorant but who couldn't care less about music theory haha
Honestly, from my POV, more so than the economy, its the psych that comes into play. He-hear me out (from valorant POV) You're up pistol round 1-0. Enemy is either force buying (quite rare, but does happen, but if its 0-0 most wont force buy on the first pistol round loss), or they have a mix of full saves/sheriff for duelists to close out with frags/some chance of a comeback. Either way, you know you have better guns going into it, and hence have a high chance of coming out with the win. You start to feel more laidback and this psychology of being more laidback and relaxed is actually proven to give you a performance boost (in sports/esports/studies etc). As long as you dont do stupid shit like being overly aggro/peaking wide angles which arent tradable for no good reason, 9/10 times you win the round and go up 2-0. Now theres a high chance the enemy is buying, and its your bonus round. So its really a round where you aim to take guns off their hands, where even if you dont, all good as it becomes 2-1 where you come into your first buy round. The costs of losing guns of the enemy team is loads higher than you losing your bonus round, so it starts to get to them when there is so much to lose. They've just loss 0-2 and imaging losing 0-3, the damage is going to be wayy too much. They're gonna be sweating their balls, and losing 2 rounds previously isnt exactly good for morale for starting the 3rd round. Sometimes mistakes happen and you're up 3-0, they're either forcing (not a good move tbh) or saving again. And this momentum is likely to carry on until later parts of the first half. Its the momentum which affects human psych = affects gameplay. Just my 2 cents tho xd.
I keep the culture going around here. Thanks :D Honestly pretty straightforward. Just trim it fairly often and don't put much in the way of product in it.
Who cares when you lose pistol round in Valorant, just buy an Ares and spam the enemies into oblivion. It even works 30% better when on a good spot on defense.
Tbh I think pistols are very op. Just look at the pick rate of pistols, every player has one every round. Most companies would see a pick rate this high and consider a nerf.
Valorant differs significantly economically speaking. You have ult economy too. Ults alone can win rounds without having to spend much. I'm surprised you guys didn't touch on this.
that deagle buy got its money worth lol, but i hate it when bad moves by your opponents make you mess up because you werent expecting them to fuck up in such a noob way
We always force 2nd round if we get the plant but lose. The extra 300 in val spike plant or 400 in cs bomb plant allows for a decent half armor spectre or full armor mac10 rush.
Economics plan for val: 1: full eco 2:if u won, sherrif/ghost half shield if you lost full eco 3: if you won the 2nd round too, full buy/ if you lose: half buy
If you already win both pistol rounds you tend to just generally be better than your opponent by default so the comparision is just so skewed towards them.
