To maximize your performance, explore detailed analytics of esports players in the Powerstats section. You can check the role effectiveness of each card using the role filter. 

Formula:

RS = ∑ (Player score × Role coefficient)

Role perk impact on Support scoring

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

Updated Formula with Role Perks:

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

For example:

• If a support player gets five assists, and their card has a +7% role perk bonus, their final role score increases by 7% before further multipliers are applied.

What this means:

• Even if two support players provide the same number of assists, their total scores can vary based on their unique role perks.

• The support role perk applies directly to assist points, enhancing fantasy impact.

• Selecting a support card with a strong perk bonus can increase overall team scoring potential.

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

Selecting Support player for your fantasy team at Powerplay is important for creating a balanced and effective team. Support players play a crucial role in facilitating their team's success by providing utility, information, and helping their teammates to fulfill their own roles. Here are some factors to consider when choosing a Support for your lineup:

Role Definition: Understand the role of a Support player in Counter-Strike 2. Support players focus on providing utility (smokes, flashes, grenades), gathering information for the team, setting up teammates for success, and often sacrificing their own stats for the benefit of the team.

Team Chemistry: Choose a Support player that has good chemistry with their teammates. A strong Support player will be able to adapt to their team's strategies, provide effective communication, and work well with the team's top players.

Utility Usage: A good Support player knows how to effectively use utility to create opportunities for their team. Look for players who consistently deploy smokes, flashes, and other grenades to control the map and create advantageous situations.

Map Awareness: Support players need a deep understanding of map control, rotations, and positioning. Players who can gather information for their team by pushing or holding key areas can greatly impact a match.

Selflessness: Support players often make sacrifices for the team's success. They might take on roles that don't result in many kills but are essential for the team's strategies. Look for players who are selfless and prioritize the team's objectives over their personal stats.

Communication: Communication is crucial in Counter-Strike 2. A good Support player communicates effectively with their team, relaying important information about enemy positions, strategies, and the state of the game.

Adaptability: Support players should be versatile and able to adapt to various situations. They might need to switch roles, play different positions, or adjust their utility usage based on the opponent's strategies.

Clutch Situations: While Support players might not be known for their flashy plays, some can excel in clutch situations. A Support player that can make impactful plays in crucial rounds can significantly boost your fantasy lineup's performance.

Team Performance: Look at the performance of the Support player's team. A successful team is likely to have Support players who contribute to wins and perform well in scenarios where teamwork is crucial.

Recent Performance: Analyze the Support player's recent performance and statistics. Consider their K/D ratio, utility usage, and overall contribution to the team's victories.

Remember that while top players might get more attention, a strong Support player can be the backbone of a successful team. By choosing a Support player who excels in their role and contributes to the team's success, you can enhance your fantasy lineup's performance.
