IGL role scoring

IGL (In-game Leader) role represents the player that leads your fantasy team, switching tactics on the fly, and guiding your team to victory through calculated decision-making and effective leadership.

Like any other player in your lineup, IGL earns points from both player scores and role scores.

– You can find more information on scoring in the article 'Scoring and roles'.

IGL role score is based on team score, while all other roles use the player score.

Team points (score) are derived from the real-life team results of the selected player, such as a team win or a sweep (clean) win. Team points are calculated based on match (boX series) results.

The IGL earns role points when their team wins matches or achieves a sweep victory.

Formula for IGL:

RS = ∑ (Team score × Role coefficient)

Role perk impact on IGL scoring

Each IGL card now has a role perk that provides an additional percentage bonus to the total team points earned in each round.

Updated Formula with role perks:

RS_final = RS + (RS × Role Perk Bonus%)

For example:

• If an IGL's team wins a match, and their card has a +5% role perk, their final role score increases by 5% before further multipliers are applied.

What this means:

• Even if two IGLs lead teams with identical match results, their total scores may differ due to their unique role perks.

• The IGL role perk applies directly to team role score, enhancing fantasy impact.

• Choosing an IGL card with a strong perk bonus can provide a significant edge in tournament rankings.

How to choose the best player for the IGL role in your lineup?

Selecting an in-game leader (IGL) player for your fantasy Counter-Strike 2 team at Powerplay can be a strategic decision that requires careful consideration. Here are some factors to keep in mind when choosing an IGL for your lineup:

Role and Playstyle: IGLs have a unique role in the team as they not only make strategic calls but also need to maintain good communication and adapt to in-game situations. Look for IGLs who have a solid understanding of the game, can read opponents well, and adapt their strategies accordingly.

Performance: While IGLs might not always have the highest fragging stats due to their focus on strategy, they should still contribute to the team's overall performance. Look for IGLs who consistently perform well in their role and contribute to their team's success.

Team Performance: An IGL's success is often closely tied to their team's performance. A successful team will likely have an IGL who makes effective calls and contributes to wins. Check the team's recent performance and consider selecting an IGL from a team that has been performing well.

Consistency: Consistency is crucial in fantasy esports. Look for IGLs who consistently perform well over multiple matches and tournaments rather than those who have occasional high peaks but are inconsistent.

Recent Performance: Analyze the IGL's recent performance and statistics. Look for trends in their performance over the last few matches or tournaments. Avoid choosing an IGL that has been struggling recently.

In-Game Impact: Consider how much of an impact the IGL has in terms of making game-changing calls, clutch situations, and leading the team to victory. Some IGLs have a reputation for being clutch players and making critical decisions under pressure.

Research and Analysis: Before making your decision, research and analyze the IGL's history, performance, and the team's adaptability. Keep up with Counter-Strike 2 news, community analysis, and expert opinions to make informed decisions.

Remember that fantasy esports is also about taking calculated risks and making educated guesses based on available information. No IGL is guaranteed to succeed in every match, so try to balance your lineup with a mix of different roles and players to maximize your chances of success.
