- **Stats Glossary**: Every metric with calculation methodology

## Statistical Methodology

The CS2Bet.io projection model uses each player's last 10–20 competitive maps as the primary input, weighted toward recent matches. It adjusts for:

1. Opponent rating differential (stronger opponents suppress offensive output)
2. Expected map pool (Mirage / Dust2 = +8-12% kills vs. Nuke / Ancient = -5-8%)
3. Series format (BO1 = 1.0× multiplier, BO3 = 2.4× multiplier, BO5 = 4.0× multiplier)
4. Tournament tier (LAN events = -3% kill count adjustment vs online)
5. Role-aware variance flagging (entry / AWP wider than support / IGL)

S-tier and A-tier tournament results only — online qualifiers and showmatches excluded as their stats don't predict tier-1 performance.
