why is my mate in c tier?

we looked at everyone’s games, did some maths, and put them in a very colourful queue.

play well. number goes up.

kills help. damage helps. helping your team win helps. you don’t have to play jett to get credit.

doing it again and again tells us more than one ridiculous game.

who you beat matters.

big numbers against strong teams mean more than big numbers against an easy lobby.

the final recipe

how good you’ve been5% room to grow

mostly stuff you’ve actually done. a tiny bit of “hmm, there might be more here.”

we look at some potential, but thinking you can drop 40 and actually dropping 40 are still different

then: beep. score.

higher score, higher spot. the colours just group nearby scores together.

it’s a score out of 100, not your chance of winning. and two players sitting next to each other could easily swap places. please do not settle this in all chat.

who gets on the list?

at least 80 official rounds in 2026, including more than 40 in local australian or new zealand events. ranked games don’t count. your passport doesn’t matter.

we stopped counting on 19 september 2026.

okay, show me the exact maths

strength is 80% individual production and 20% winning impact. the final score is 95% strength and 5% upside.

the model adjusts for roles and opponents, and gives older games less weight. strength and upside are put on a scale centred around 50 before the final mix.

missing opponent details use the event’s wider field as a fallback. missing winning evidence leans back toward individual production. missing stats do not become zeroes.

the profile stats show local events in 2026. the rankings use a wider history. the bios are just for reading; they don’t change anyone’s score.

s++ starts at 80, s+ at 75, s at 70, a at 60, b at 50, c at 40 and d at 30. below that is e. we use the full score for this, even though you see it rounded.

where did all this come from?

this is an independent community project using public match and event records from vlr.gg. it is a snapshot through 19 september 2026, not a live leaderboard.

the bios were written with ai and edited for this site. they are playful introductions based on the records, not interviews or scouting from watching every game. they do not affect the scores. each player page links to their vlr record.
