jks: The Flash Master. Breaking down best grenade performers in BLAST Global Finals
Flashbang Stats
Despite Complexity taking 7th-8th place, Justin "jks" Savage showed incredible flashbang impact.
jks was #1 in Flash Duration Per Throw (2.98 sec), Fully Blinded Enemies Per Throw (0.54) and Team Flash Percentage (20.5%, which is half the average).
*You can find average numbers for pentagon in the end of the article.
Besides really impressive flashbang stats, Savage showed an average performance in Utility Damage Per Round and 82.31% Grenade Usage, which is a bit higher than average.
It's also interesting to see one more Complexity player in our grenade stats top. We're talking about William "RUSH" Wierzba who in BLAST Premier Global Final 2020 had 26.4% Team Flash Percentage (#2), 0.52 Fully Blinded Enemies Per Throw (#4), 2.77 sec Flash Duration Per Throw (#2) and 5.85 Utility Damage Per Round (#8).
Complexity has the two best players in flashbangs stats, however there's also Kristian "k0nfig" Wienecke, who was the worst player of the event based on the following stats: Fully Blinded Enemies Per Throw (0.19), Grenade Usage Percentage (61.7%), Flash Duration Per Throw (1.07).
Surely, k0nfig is not the player who should have great numbers in grenade stats, but when it comes to flashbang usage, it... could be better, to say the least.
Utility Damage Stats
You aren't surprised to see three Astralis' players on top of our list, right?
• #1, Emil "Magisk" Reif, 8.00 Utility Damage / round
• #3, Lukas "gla1ve" Rossander, 7.07
• #4, Andreas "Xyp9x" Højsleth, 6.97.
Second place was taken by Ilya "Perfecto" Zalutskiy with 7.47 Utility Damage Per Round on average.
Let's also take a look at Xyp9x's pentagon who besides incredible Utility Damage, also had pretty impressive Usage Percentage (#2) and Team Flash Percentage (#7).
