Let’s look at how accurate Team PP sum is for predicting ranking. I put each team, their ranking, and their PP in a table.

10 is 1st place and 1 is last place.

I then graphed this table as a line chart and got:

Y-Axis is PP and X-Axis is Placement (10 is first place and 1 is last place)

As we can easily see, PP has a pretty strong correlation with placement. Other than a few outliers, as PP goes up, so does placement. If we do a more mathematical analysis, we find that the Pearson Correlation Coefficient is ~0.86, which is strong correlation.

Pearson Correlation Coefficient

Now that we know that PP is a pretty good measure, we can forecast how well both TSM and TL would have done last season. Compared to last season, it seems as though TSM has dropped a bit, but again, synergy and coaching will play a large part.

However, there is no doubt that TL has had a massive improvement over last season.

Thanks for reading! I‘m thinking of creating more analysis about the rest of the teams and deeper analysis too, so please leave your feedback!
