Sub Zero: The Most Icy Players in SND this Season

In Search & Destroy, every round can hinge on a single moment, and that’s where clutch players earn their reputation. Whether it’s a tense 1v1 to take the round or an improbable 1v3, the ability to close out rounds under pressure can completely swing a series. As the CDL season unfolds, a handful of players have separated themselves as the league’s most reliable closers. Here’s a look at the current leaders in clutch wins and the players consistently delivering when the odds are stacked against them.

To start, what is a Clutch? A clutch in SND is when the sole remaining player left alive on a squad wins the round for their team. For how clutches are calculated in our data, the situation must satisfy these three rules:
○ Player must be alive in 1vX for 5+ seconds
○ Time on the clock must exceed 15 seconds (Can be reset by a Plant)
○ 1vX is categorized by the number of opposing players alive when the last player remaining

The tiebreaker for the Top 5 Leaderboard is total rounds played, as players with a lower total will have fewer opportunities for clutches. Without further ado, here are the Top 5 players in clutches in the Black Ops 7 season so far!
