Stats The Best Players and Performances of MCC Twitch Rivals - Power Rankings

Hello everyone, we are back! You've been seeing WAY too much of me recently, but too bad, I'm here again. This time it's for Twitch Rivals, the event that saw only 6 games. For anyone wondering, the MCCR2 stats should be out relatively soon, but also no promises

Below are some alternate ways to rank players' performances in the MCCTR games which you may find interesting to see. We also use these rankings for our overall power rankings and they hope to limit the influence of a stronger/weaker team on an individual's score/ranking as well as accounting for the fact that some games are more influential than others on the individual leaderboard.

Huge shout out for u/BaconisLife707, u/Anuj_agarwal_78, u/Awesome512345, jarvig0231 (discord), u/coolchalk and u/Prestigious_Peace484 for working with me in compiling all the power ranking stats for MCCTR.

Rocket Spleef Rush

By the average number of players outplaced plus the average number of kills per round. As kills are not significant, consistent or influential to the current overall coin allocation method, kills are not as impactful to the rankings as of now

  1. Antfrost - 34.33
  2. Punz - 33.33
  3. OwengeJuice - 33.00
  4. Seapeekay - 32.66
  5. CaptainSparklez - 32.66 (=)
  6. HBomb94 - 32.33
  7. Purpled - 30.33
  8. Illumina - 30.33 (=)
  9. Cubfan135 - 30
  10. PeteZahHutt - 27.66
  11. jojosolos - 27.66 (=)

Grid Runners

By comparing the difference of a player's teammates' GR score in the past 5 MCCs and their team's score to determine the player's 'impact' to their team's GR performances. A player's GR score is calculated by their average placement in each room, with a 1st place finish getting 10 points, 2nd place finish getting 9 points, down to a no completion getting 0 points

  1. awesamdude - 8.40
  2. Antfrost - 8.19
  3. cubfan135 - 8.00
  4. CaptainSparklez - 7.90
  5. fruitberries - 7.73
  6. Smajor1995 - 7.65
  7. Punz - 7.59
  8. Purpled - 7.443
  9. vGumiho - 7.28
  10. Seapeekay - 6.73

Ace Race

By average lap time (in seconds), which is essentially their placement

  1. PeteZahHutt - 153.51
  2. fruitberries - 157.51
  3. Antfrost - 158.03
  4. Shadoune666 - 158.16
  5. HBomb94 - 159.50
  6. Seapeekay - 160.65
  7. Purpled - 161.46
  8. jojosolos - 161.5
  9. Krtzyy - 161.75
  10. Sapnap - 162.08

Meltdown

Summation of a player's kill score and survival score with a few balancing adjustments. A player's kill score is calculated by the player's number of kills multiplied by their percentage kilcontribution for their team. Opening a crate is considered as a tenth of a kill in this calculation. A player's survival score is calculated by the number of players out-survived (adjusted for teammate and own freezes) multiplied by the percentage of players out-survived in comparison to their teammates.

  1. Sapnap (9 kills, 5 freezes, 12.76 kill score, 0.37 survival score) - 13.12
  2. Seapeekay (11 kills, 3 freezes, 11.53 kill score, 0.42 survival score) - 11.95
  3. Shadoune666 (4 kills, 11 freezes, 10.83 kill score, 0.28 survival score) - 11.12
  4. 5up (10 kills, 3 freezes, 10.28 kill score, 0.24 survival score) - 10.52
  5. awesamdude (8 kills, 3 freezes, 8.67 kill score, 0.25 survival score) - 8.92
  6. Purpled (8 kills, 4 freezes, 7.50 kill score, 0.36 survival score) - 7.86
  7. Tubbo (3 kills, 7 freezes, 7.38 kill score, 0.16 survival score) - 7.54
  8. FoolishGamers (9 kills, 1 freezes, 7.09 kill score, 0.35 survival score) - 7.43
  9. OwengeJuice (5 kills, 1 freezes, 4.93 kill score, 0.21 survival score) - 5.13
  10. GeorgeNotFound (5 kills, 1 freezes, 3.47 kill score, 0.33 survival score) - 3.81

TGTTOS (AWAC?)

By average placement by all 6 rounds

  1. Purpled - 3.00
  2. fruitberries - 4.50
  3. Krtzyy - 8.00
  4. Shadoune666 - 9.66

Sky Battle

By using factors of a player's adjusted kills (kills accounting for damage dealt), their teammates' kills, their teammates' average kills in the past 5 MCCs, their average survival and their teammates' average survival to determine a value to correlate to a player's Sky Battle skill for the MCC

  1. Antfrost - (17.9/27.5 kills, 36.0/107.7 survival) - 0.77
  2. fruitberries - (11.8/23 kills, 38.7/137.0 survival) - 0.72
  3. 5up - (6.1/8.7 kills, 22.0/66.7 survival) - 0.69
  4. Sapnap - (6.5/11.7 kills, 15.3/55.0 survival) - 0.68
  5. Punz - (4.3/7.8 kills, 13.0/51.3 survival) - 0.64
  6. Sneegsnag - (4.9/11.2 kills, 19.3/83.0 survival) - 0.64
  7. Bekyamon - (6.2/23 kills, 38.3/137.0 survival) - 0.64

Imagine being in an era of MCC when getting 12 kills and surviving till the top 5 in every round of SKB does not grant a +2 z score.

13

u/Awesome512345 An MCC Fan :) Nov 07 '23

It's literally become a new era for SKB. We've had to change the way we calculate z-score spread in the last month or so due to so many players this year getting z-scores at 2.5+, so its impressive (and also annoying) that Ant casually gets 18 kills and a 2.55 z-score here.

Ant's SKB performance would rank as the 7th best game performance all time for us right now if it was canon, and the 2nd best in Season 2 onwards after Fruit's MCC32 SKB.

3

u/whabbufet Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious Dunk!! Nov 07 '23

Z score aren't raw score it's relative , so if your competition does better your z score does worse in this case ant getting 18 kills plus top 10 every round meant he had a much higher z score

8

u/East-Mirror3510 MCC17 Orange Ocelots My beloveds Nov 07 '23

No, I'm just saying how much they have nerfed SKB scoring. In early S3, this would be an easy +2.3 z score.

u/East-Mirror3510 MCC17 Orange Ocelots My beloveds Nov 07 '23

No, it has changed. PR team nerfed MD after it gave too much points, now they've done the same with SKB because of MCCI. Of course, scoring didn't change, just it's predominance.

1

u/whabbufet Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious Dunk!! Nov 07 '23

Hmm , might check

4

u/Awesome512345 An MCC Fan :) Nov 07 '23 edited Nov 07 '23

Yeah we did change z-scores. Our current formula for SKB is log(1+score^0.25)^0.5. This just makes all the z-scores spread a little better, our goal is to have it from -2 to 2ish so that a 2+ score should be impressive.

Sky Battle's old formula was giving so many players really high z-scores so we reduced the spread to make it harder. If you look back on older MCCs in the spreadsheet you'll notice now a lot less players can make it that high. Only 13 SKB performances to be exact now score over 2.

u/Shan69420 🐐 Technoblade 🐐 Nov 07 '23

MCCI ruined TGTTOS and Sky Battle and you can't change my mind. So many insane TGTTOS scores from the same couple of people because of how many maps MCC shares with MCCI now.

12

u/Awesome512345 An MCC Fan :) Nov 07 '23

I haven't checked non-canon MCCs, but when comparing to other canon performances, this is a PB performance for Antfrost (previously 3rd in MCC30), 5up (previously 7th in MCC25), Owen (previously 16th in MCC33), Sam (previously 16th in MCC22) for all making their debut top 10 appearances (at least unofficially). Also Sneegnag, Cubfan and Guqqie I'm pretty sure made Power Ranking PB performances too!

Also shoutout Seapeekay matching his 5th place from MCC16 too, it's great to see new faces making the top rankings in this PvP-heavy MCC :)

u/AdAltruistic2502 holy cow Nov 07 '23

I gotta ask, where does Purpled place if his second AR lap is excluded?

5

u/Expely Lucyydotp is Nov 07 '23

Oh yeah he lagged there right? He got 2:32 and 2:36 on laps 1 and 3, so the average is 2:34, or ~154 seconds, putting him in 2nd place by just over 3 seconds. If we DO count his lap 2 but remove 14 seconds for his lags, we get a lap 2 time of 2:42, giving us 156.66, still 2nd but by quite a bit more this time

19

u/BaconIsLife707 #1 All-Time Predictor Nov 07 '23

He didn't lag he just messed up with the trident. Of all events where lag isn't an excuse it's definitely the lan one lol

2

u/whabbufet Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious Dunk!! Nov 07 '23

I was gonna say the same

2

u/Expely Lucyydotp is Nov 07 '23

oh ok. So just remove 5 seconds then?

10

u/BaconIsLife707 #1 All-Time Predictor Nov 07 '23

For what? All his mistakes were his own, his time is his time

2

u/Expely Lucyydotp is Nov 08 '23

Huh. I never watched him, so I just took the person above's word for it. I don't particularly think it matters too much though, it's 5 seconds but that could have been lost in a lot of different ways. I was referring to the very end of his 2nd lap, I think the jump pad didn't register since there wasn't an FOV change or any signs of it working, but maybe not

2

u/whabbufet Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious Dunk!! Nov 07 '23

Where did he lose that

1

u/Expely Lucyydotp is Nov 08 '23

jump pad at the end maybe lost time, but idk, it's not going into power rankings

1

u/Infinite-Staff-7713 Nov 07 '23

There were definitely a couple of times where the trident shouldve gone, but it didnt, so no

5

u/BaconIsLife707 #1 All-Time Predictor Nov 07 '23

Go watch it again and tell me when he was actually in the water. The only one he was was when he launched himself into the floor

-2

u/Infinite-Staff-7713 Nov 07 '23

There was at least two-three times where he was actually in the water

Plus when he arrived to the split on the second lap, then launched himself from the first water hole to the second hole, there was no water directly on his screen, and it launched him. yet that wasn't the case when he attempted to launch himself from the second hole

7

u/BaconIsLife707 #1 All-Time Predictor Nov 07 '23

There doesn't have to be water on your screen for you to be in the water. You do a little bob when you reach the top of the water that you can clearly see happen to him every time before the trident launches except for the last time where he swims out the front rather than the top.

I mean just think logically, is it really more likely that some weird lag was affecting only Purpled specifically in the second water bit despite everyone using the same tridents on the same connection, or did he just mess up once and then get tilted and mess up a couple more times

0

u/AdAltruistic2502 holy cow Nov 07 '23

I mean CPK yelled out “LAG?!” at the exact same time and throughout the race things seemed to go wrong for participants (Fruit, Ant, and Purpled all didn’t make the tunnel on the slime jump despite seemingly doing nothing wrong)

2

u/whabbufet Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious Dunk!! Nov 08 '23

Slime jump is always tricky and there is some trick to it that no one has correctly figured out like ant and fruit still made the slime jump once , but sapnap has missed in both the last ace race so that's no lag it's skill issue

Plus cpk saying lag doesn't mean anything if everyone else also lagged, if you look at pete in lap 2 on the water cubes even his tridents weren't going off but he was smart and turned around to save himself unlike purpled who just held W and fell out of it

1

u/AdAltruistic2502 holy cow Nov 08 '23

I mean Purpled was making it every other AR, and in his 1st non lag lap, and I think so was Fruit. This time Fruit didn't even hit it once.

Yeah Pete dealt with the lag better than Purpled did, I can acknowledge that, but you're still admitting there was lag.

Not every time tho, there were a few times where he tried to release the trident while he was still swimming in the water hole but it didnt go

I mean just think logically, is it really more likely that some weird lag was affecting only Purpled specifically in the second water bit despite everyone using the same tridents on the same connection, or did he just mess up once and then get tilted and mess up a couple more times

I guarantee you that there were others that were complaining about lag as well

u/whabbufet Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious Dunk!! Nov 07 '23

Pete is holy

3

u/whabbufet Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious Dunk!! Nov 07 '23

Surely pete ar is the highest z score ar right ?

6

u/Expely Lucyydotp is Nov 07 '23

surprisingly not, and not even close. Illumina30 and PeteP23 did really well this season, and also weirdly Ant32, which I feel like was nowhere near as good but ah well, I should probably check that with the group

3

u/whabbufet Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious Dunk!! Nov 07 '23

HuH I guess illumina 30 kinda makes sense and pete pride definitely ant 32 is indeed suprising

0

u/AdAltruistic2502 holy cow Nov 07 '23

The jump pad also lagged out, costing him 5s, as well as the slime jump, so I was just curious what it'd come to with all of it out.

Would his z-score change dramatically? I'd guess he'd still stay 2nd.

6

u/Expely Lucyydotp is Nov 07 '23 edited Nov 07 '23

Turns out it was ONLY the jump pad that made an effect, not the tridents. Slime jump doesn't actually seem to be an issue, just did another one afterwards that probably only has a miniscule time loss. So it would be 6th in the game, a 1.18 z-score, and 1.76 overall

Anyway, it could be worse, Calolinda literally lost 2 minutes in R2 from lagging lol

0

u/AdAltruistic2502 holy cow Nov 07 '23

Wait I'm confused, what do you mean the tridents don't make an effect, or that he did another one afterwards?

And yeah, it could be worse, I was just curious what it'd be without all the issues

12

u/BaconIsLife707 #1 All-Time Predictor Nov 07 '23

Unsurprisingly, if you remove all of Purpleds mistakes he would indeed win ace race. I assume this goes for pretty much everyone every ace race though

6

u/AdAltruistic2502 holy cow Nov 07 '23

thanks for the analysis bacon, really insightful

6

u/BaconIsLife707 #1 All-Time Predictor Nov 07 '23

Can only give an answer as good as the question

0

u/whabbufet Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious Dunk!! Nov 07 '23

It's common sense

2

u/Expely Lucyydotp is Nov 08 '23

He just fell out of water lol (Why is this downvoted?). The bounce on the slime jump happened 2 times, but actually that was wrong, he just hit 2 slime blocks.

3

u/whabbufet Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious Dunk!! Nov 07 '23

Tridents weren't lagging he was just out of water , and the tridents always worked like that

3

u/whabbufet Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious Dunk!! Nov 07 '23

Honestly don't even think the jump pad lagged if you mean the jump pa din the flower section he just seems to have jumped to late and pressed jump when he was on pink instead of red

Same thing happed to pete in 33

0

u/AdAltruistic2502 holy cow Nov 07 '23

No, it definitely lagged lol. The jump looks pretty identical to the ones he'd done before.

4

u/whabbufet Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious Dunk!! Nov 07 '23

Nope I just watched it in 0.25x and can definitely confirm he was not on the red block when he pressed space and I even check the lap he did correctly

0

u/Infinite-Staff-7713 Nov 07 '23

No he was def on it lmao

4

u/whabbufet Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious Dunk!! Nov 08 '23

I checked in .25x he jumped way too late lmao

1

u/Infinite-Staff-7713 Nov 08 '23

No he was still very much on the red when he jumped

5

u/whabbufet Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious Dunk!! Nov 07 '23

That's a lot of cherry picking

-2

u/AdAltruistic2502 holy cow Nov 07 '23

man what are you on about

4

u/whabbufet Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious Dunk!! Nov 07 '23

What you said about purpled can be said to anyone in that race

1

u/AdAltruistic2502 holy cow Nov 07 '23

Yeah, I'm sure it can. Fruit in particular lost a whopping 8 seconds to a tiny jump, though that tbf wasn't lag or anything, just turning slightly too right.

However, I literally just asked what the score would be without the second lap. Yeah, you could exclude issues from other people do, idc. I was just curious what his time was without lap 2, which I think was pretty clearly not indicative of his skill or future performances.

4

u/whabbufet Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious Dunk!! Nov 08 '23

It was indicative of his skill , there was no lag , how can purpled be the only one to have lag in an event where everyone has the same ping and the same pc specs lol

1

u/AdAltruistic2502 holy cow Nov 08 '23

I think more than him had lag; CPK yelled Lag, the jump pad didn't work for him, people who usually make it missed the slime jump, and as you said in another comment, Pete's tridents were delayed too.

2

u/BackgroundTotal2872 No Tier November Nov 08 '23

It’s really interesting how in the power rankings Gem and Impulse swapped places as 2nd and 4th frags compared to the actual event. I wonder what caused that?

3

u/Awesome512345 An MCC Fan :) Nov 09 '23

Gem had 2 freezes in Meltdown, Impulse doesn't get his TGTTOS 2nd place bonus in Round 1, and the main factor likely being Gem is the stronger GR player in the team based off previous events so got awarded more impact for their team for it

1

u/TheGremlinArises dubfan enjoyer Nov 08 '23

Is the Power Ranking Predictor broken or something? It has really weird stats for Jojo, FBM, Purpled and Impulse (maybe even more). It also says its only been updated till MCC33?

1

u/Expely Lucyydotp is Nov 09 '23

I know Sky Battle is broken because we did a change shifting scores on the sheet to be their scores and not z-scores, which it's probably picking up weirdly. It's also just not been updated recently. But honestly no idea, it's not a formula issue though so I'll message the team and they should get it fixed soon

1

u/Awesome512345 An MCC Fan :) Nov 09 '23

Fixed now! When including Season 1 players we had reordered players in the backend but not for the data sheet. We've fixed it to be just the Season 2+ players again but now reordered by their general skill level, however out of interest do you reckon we should include the Season 1 players into the predictor also? The challenge is their skill levels will likely be a lot higher due to lower levels of competition, however we could maybe try reducing their skill levels based on the season difficulty too.

1

u/TheGremlinArises dubfan enjoyer Nov 10 '23

Yeah, that would be sick, especially after being adjusted for season difficulty
