Watch Phreak’s video, too!
Summary of this video for the TL;DW crowd: in 98.5% of cases where a team has taken a pre-20:00 inhibitor in a Worlds-qualifying league in 2021, they have won the game. The one loss came from terrible throws. And in the examples I looked at of games where the gold gap narrowed during the inhibitor, it always happened because of dumb mistakes, not because of the enemy team freezing super minion waves.
Armchair GM afficionados: you can play with my LCS armchair General Manager spreadsheet game by going to this Google Sheet and clicking File -> Make a Copy, then saving into your own Google Drive.
Ping me if there are players you think should be added for everyone else to “play” with.
This chart shows the average game length vs. the combined kills per minute (CKPM) for every Worlds-qualifying league in Summer 2020.
t’s a shame we won’t get to watch the VCS at Worlds, with their super fast game pacing.
Meanwhile, the LCS had the longest games and second-lowest CKPMs. Zzz…
Looking at individual World Championships-qualifying teams is also an interesting breakdown.
