Why it matters
A pistol win usually brings the next round too: the losers cannot afford rifles, see the economy rounds. That is two or three rounds out of thirteen from a single fight with Classics and Ghosts. Still, about 27% of the teams that win both pistols lose the match.
Counted on 9,554 ranked matches (200,019 rounds) stored on RadianiteDB, all ten players of each match. These are the matches of players looked up on the site, not every Valorant match, so read small gaps with care.
