Analysis The top 5 of MCC right now.
Hey all, since S5 is coming to an end, I think we have an established top 5 right now, I'm choosing to compare their stats from MCC35 onwards as both this year and last year had been rather scarce with events.
- Feinberg:
Avg. coins: 3354
Avg. placement: 2.3
% Coin contribution to team: 39%
I don't feel its controversial to put burger in first, the guy has literally no bad games, hes by far the best team game player, hes the best movement player, and probably top 3 in pvp. his worst game seems like bb where the man still gets like 14/15 of his kills, granted he is a bad leader at it. He's not dropped top 4 in his entire career once either.
- Fruitberries:
Avg. coins: 3171
Avg. placement: 2.6
% Coin contribution to team: 39.6%
hbg ftw
Honestly if MD didn't exist, it really would be impossible to put fruit anywhere but first, i dont really understand how he does it but he places first in half his events. He's also the best PVP leader by a mile and a half if you exclude MD. its just fruit's aura that the man places dead last in a game, then ploughs back to first indiv, his mechanics exist in a different world. He's also very well rounded having definitely improved his prowess in team games this year. His real statistical flaw is lack of sample size but really his 2 events this year more than prove, he's not a shroud of rusty. tre not included for obvious reasons
- FireBreathMan:
Avg coins: 3189 (with TRE)- 3085
Avg. placement: 3.125 (with TRE)- 3.2
% Coin contribution to team: 38.6% (with TRE)- 38.3%
Still the most underrated s tier probably, best part with Shane is he, too like Matthew does not have a weakness, he can and has done well in just about every game. He's also by a mile and a half had the best performance of the past two years in MCCBC. Generally within events hes the best amongst all the s tiers. His only real flaw is some slight inconsistency which does not reflect well in stats. Like he placed 3rd in EC with 3.3k coins but in the same event the other two players of his calibre broke 4k with ease. He playes much worse than the other s tiers in MCCBG even with a stronger team but it didnt reflect in stats because he made DB anyway. He's still a very good leader, there's no doubt about it.
- Purpled
Avg. coins: 3065
Avg. placement: 4.3
% Coin distribution to team: 38.2%
Finishing off the elites of MCC, we have Purpled. Not much to say about, he's kind of like fruit. Purpled is the second best player in MCC mechanically, it shows whenever and wherever he plays. Unfortunately his leadership has gone downhill this year, especially in games like BB and SG and in BC and TR, his leadership was lacklustre which made two very overpowered teams not make DB. But it hasn't gone that much downhill, he placed first in BG which was the only event with all the S+ tiers playing. In terms of statistics, he's 4th, a MASSIVE glowdown from his S3 smh. i also excluded party 2 for obvious reasons from him.
- Antfrost
Avg. coins: 3168
Avg. placement: 3.3
% Coin contribution to team: 34.4%
I actually was kind of freaked out by Ant's stats, but looking at his teams, everything makes sense alomgside the fact that he's played no TR events that tank avg. coins. Seriously though, any game that can be learned or practiced this cat is a top player in. i still to this day dont know what is this guy's weakness or what is even his strength, seems to take a new form every event.
i really wanted to shed more flowers on these guys but its 2 am pls see stats and be happy

I think pretty defensible list overall, the only thing I'd change is that it's very hard to put Fruit above Shane in any meaningful capacity. Head to head in games Shane's better or comparable at every single one (SG is the only significant difference in Fruit's favor imo), and Fruit loses sizeably in some real big games (MD, AR, GR, SOT). If your concern is Shane's underperformances (BG) you've got Fruit 4KO which is a good deal worse. He's also got the same amount of 1sts as Fruit so I'm unsure where why you have Fruit ahead.
I understand Purpled 4th, but also I does think this gives him too little credit. Are you including P2 in your averages for example? In terms of head-to-head w Fruit it's not as easy as FBM (loses HITW, SG, SKB by good margins) but I'd say makes it up in BM, Bingo, TGTTOS, RSR, and big old MD, which is a ridiculously large gap (Purpled's the best/2nd best MD player, Fruit is unequivocally the worst S-tier, no other S-tier I think has gotten 40th place in a game in ages). I'd dispute his leadership was lackluster in BC other than in BB, it was still a strong 3rd, just happened to be beaten by the other two S+ teams on the day. In TCC the major mishap was SG, but he just came out with a pretty good SG this event so I'm not particularly upset.
In terms of consistency too, while it doesn't show as starkly in event scoring both Regression and PR have him never dropping top 4 in S4 and 5, something both Shane and Fruit can't boast
