StarSeries IX day 3 top performers

With SLTV StarSeries IX Finals in the books, we highlight Sunday's top performers with this post for today's matches.

SLTV StarSeries IX Finals were won by Natus Vincere, who overcame NiP in the grand finals without a dropping a map. Prior to that they defeated Titan and NiP, respectively, on Friday and Saturday.

The other match that took place on Sunday was the consolidation final. In it NiP split the first two maps with Titan, but then ran laps around the French-Belgians, claiming a spot in the grand final.

Today's leader board is, oddly enough, topped by the French duo of Nathan "NBK" Schmitt and Kenny "kennyS" Schrub. Schmitt was incredibly consistent, and got a kill, an assist or survived in 74.6% of their rounds in a loss.

Despite losing the series and getting devoured 3-16 on the final map, they were today's best players. Na`Vi duo Denis "seized" Kostin and Ioann "Edward" Sukhariev were most consistent.

Adil "ScreaM" Benrlitom once again had the highest headshot percentage, while Schrub topped the AWPing statistics over his main competition, Na`Vi's Ladislav "GuardiaN" Kovács.

The graphic above shows how each player in Ninjas in Pyjamas contributed to their success in the consolidation final versus Titan. As you can see, the often criticized Robin "Fifflaren" Johansson had a great showing.

Johansson got a kill, an assist or survived 90% of NiP's won rounds, a mark 10% better than that of his teammates. Oddly enough, even in NiP's win, their superstars were the ones at the bottom when at least an assist is required.

For Natus Vincere the top performer was Kostin, whose performance at the event was unwavering as he finished with a 1.25 rating. He took part in 94% of his team's won rounds.
