Top 100 Playoff Performances (TWLD)

[ogron]

Your best 2 rounds in the Semi-Finals + your best 2 rounds in the Finals.

Gamescore is simply Kills + Plus-Minus. A 14-7 is 21 GameScore. A 10-10 is 10 GameScore. A 5-10 is 0 GameScore.

This dataset includes every TWLD playoffs except S5 (if you know THE PUSHER, let him know his e-mail account twl_leagues@yahoo.com is the only hope to ever recover the S5 boxscores.)

There were no playoffs in TWL S1, S2, S3, or S4.

Huge thanks again to qan and Turban for their amazing work helping recover the S6 to S11 data.

Why would you only take people's best games and not count their bad ones and call it top playoff performances?

[ogron]

Because semis and finals go between 4 to 6 games long? You can't compare 4 rounds to 6?

It has to be 4 GP.

You can either take the best 2 rounds from the bo3, or average out 3 round playoffs into 2 games. Both are viable, but I've decided to stick to whole rounds.

You only need 2 rounds to advance. Lots of people win Round 1, zone out Round 2, then close out Round 3, or use Round 1 as a warmup then win Rounds 2 and 3. If you close a game out 2-0 your scores are probably good.

And in TWLD you can absolutely get fluked 1 round out of 3 by spawns/strays where it's out of your control.

There's no perfect way to do it. Averaging is fine but has it's drawbacks, too. If you lag and get subbed out then dominate the next two rounds, you get dragged down by the laggy round where you were 3-3. If you 2-0 and everything goes perfect your average is going to be higher than it would over a larger 3-game sample where you're much more likely to regress towards the mean.

In theory averaging should reward consistency, but again, I think lag, strays, spawns, etc. can undo that. I'm sure some series averaging better gauges performance, and vice-versa.

Taking the best 2 rounds from the semis and best 2 rounds from the finals is a perfectly reasonable methodology.
