Round win rate
Rounds are a much bigger sample than maps. Side splits show where the rounds are coming from.
Round win rate is rounds won divided by rounds played, across the maps in the window. It is a finer instrument than map win rate: a map is roughly two dozen rounds, so one map win is a crude measurement of a team's round-level strength.
Why split by side
Terrorist and Counter-Terrorist rounds are different problems. A team can post a strong overall round rate while being carried by one side, and the overall figure hides it. Splitting the rate into T-side and CT-side shows whether the advantage is structural or a single-half habit.
| Metric | Counts | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| Map win rate | Maps | Series and map markets |
| Round win rate | Rounds | Team strength with less variance |
| T-side / CT-side win rate | Rounds by side | Finding where the rounds come from |
| Pistol round win rate | Pistol rounds | Economy and opening halves |
Sample floors apply here too
Side and pistol splits shrink the sample, because only the relevant rounds count. When a split falls below the floor, ClutchIQ omits the rate rather than printing a percentage from a couple of rounds.
Questions
- Is round win rate a better predictor than map win rate?
- It has a larger sample per map, so it is less noisy as a description of current form. It is still a description of what happened, not a forecast, and it does not price anything on its own.
- Why is the T-side rate missing?
- Because the filtered sample of rounds on that side fell below the display floor. Widen the window or clear a filter to see it again.
