E. Stromberg (da bears) is another well-known CPL/CAL-I player who has been on big name teams such as Eminence, 3D, U5, and, most recently, WEW. He has had to deal with a lot of high expectations over his CS career, especially that of when he was with Team 3D. With 3D being the newly created version of X3 with an all-star cast, hopes were high in the American CS community that they would win the CPL. After a very mediocre finish, da bears pursued other teams and has been successful in CAL Invite, but has never had a team finish well at the CPL. Because of this fact, many would assume that there would be a noticeable difference between his CAL and CPL play.

DAR
As with all the other players, da bears has had a consistent damage per round statistic at both the CPL and in CAL, but once again, it has been higher in CAL. Of the selected CAL matches, his highest was 96.6 and his lowest was 58.9. The average of these matches was 77.6. In CPL terms, da bears’ DAR didn’t have a very high maximum at 79.8. The average of these totals was 69.36. The difference between these totals is very much like Ksharp’s except that it’s at a lower level of damage.

FPR and ARF
In terms of frags per round, da bears is once again consistent, but there is a noticeable difference between CAL and the CPL. The difference between the two averages it around .5 with CAL receiving .656 and the CPL getting .608. The ARF of the selected matches is almost identical. An ARF of 50% is the highest that da bears receives, but there is only a 2% difference between the average ARFs of CAL and CPL play.

2F, 3F, 4F
For da bears, two-frag rounds are his biggest statistic and he performs in both the events that this article has studied. He totaled 19 of these in selected CAL matches with the highest being five in one match. He has also gotten five total three-frag rounds in the selected CAL matches along with two four-frag rounds.

He performs fourteen two-frag rounds in the total of selected CPL matches along with four three-frag rounds.All in all, da bears totals 18 multi-frag rounds at the CPL and 26 multi-frag rounds in CAL of the matches that were studied.

In the end, it must be remembered that these statistics compare from when da bears was on two different teams and the entire team does matter in a high level of play in the CAL medium. The difference of rosters between WEW and U5 is very noticeable, but da bears’ numbers are very consistent so it does not seem to make a difference.
