this reminds me of an article i wrote about player evaluation in counter-strike for ESPN in a former lifetime espn.com/esports/story/_/id/…
Replying to @JFreshHockey
we talk a lot about how the "eye test" can be heavily influenced by puck luck or point totals etc. but confirmation bias and narratives from fan communities are an underrated one

but there are clear pitfalls to avoid. it's easy for narratives to structure our inquiry when we perform player evaluations, and that leads to confirmation bias, motivated reasoning, and bad evaluation. the explanation should be the result of inquiry, not the beginning.

Wild to see the changing of the guard over the past year in CS:GO. Regional strength has dramatically changed. Two years ago, no one would've guessed that France and NA would be (arguably) fielding stronger lineups than Brazil and Denmark.

For future work, I'm wondering what the pulse is on heatmaps. They're not utilized a great deal in written content, and I think they serve as clear and useful ways of communicating certain traits. What do you folks think?

As an example, see what I did with ESEA's heatmaps for the MDL Global Challenge last week: blog.esea.net/esea-mdl-gc-ju…
