Contextualizing Performance With Data Visualization

A personal exploration into the decision making and aspirations with the release of our latest data visualization widgets. How we plan to simplify performance into a digestible format for both new and seasoned fans alike.

Among the ideals that D1CE was founded on, a digestible website has always been the most difficult to implement. A hub of information is simple enough, but to meet the high expectations we set for ourselves, that information needed to be both intricate and shaped in an approachable way. The goal was to answer simple questions like "Who is the best player?" or "Is Team A better than Team B?" using easily understood statistics. That functionality has been sorely lacking in the collegiate esports space and we knew it was a mark that we could not miss if we wanted to create an impactful conference. And, while I'm proud of our work so far, I always felt like that was an area we can significantly improve on.
TL;DR, I'm not confident someone who doesn't play VALORANT would understand that Maryville is dog-walking the league. Or Ali's stats should be framed on Winthrop's wall.
I do still have faith in our existing statistics table, but if you aren't familiar with VALORANT the barrage of acronyms might as well be hieroglyphics. Honestly, that fact goes for regular players too: I went years not knowing what KAST stood for.
