Before diving into projections and parlays, it’s crucial to first research a player's previous games and stats to understand how they've performed over time. Analyzing their past performances allows you to see how consistently they’ve hit their projected lines, which is key to making informed betting decisions. By comparing their historical data to the current line, you can understand whether a player is likely to exceed expectations or fall short. This manual process can be time-consuming and very difficult to find, so you can also use a tool like PickFinder, which streamlines the process by importing all the lines from apps such as PrizePicks and Underdog and analyzes each player's matches. It also allows you to filter players based on hitrate, past performance, and a range of other vital stats, making it easier to identify the best betting opportunities.

How to Utilize PickFinder to find the Best Valorant Projections

1. Filtering by Hitrate

The first step in finding the best Valorant projections is to filter by hitrate. Hitrate indicates the percentage of times a player has met or exceeded their projected performance metrics in past games. Here's how you can effectively use hitrate filtering:

• Access the Projections Page: Navigate to the Projections page where all the lines are imported directly from your favorite Pick'Em apps.
• Apply Hitrate Filters: Use the filtering options to sort players by their hitrate percentage. This will help you identify the most consistent performers.
• Analyze Top Performers: Focus on players with the highest hitrates. Consistency is key in betting, and players who frequently meet their projections are more likely to do so again.

As shown in the image below, filtering by hitrate places all players with the highest hitrate as top performers throughout all projected Valorant players. The player named Autumn is first on this list with a 90% hitrate and a streak of 7. This is a very consistent hitrate with a huge difference of 6 between his projection and average of his last 10 games. Once you're done analyzing the Projections page to find the most consistent players, click on the desired player which in this instance would be Autumn. 

2. Analyzing Individual Projections

Once you have a list of players with high hitrates, the next step is to analyze individual projections. This involves looking at various metrics and understanding how they might influence the player's performance in upcoming matches.

• Click on a Player: Select one of the top players from your filtered list to view their detailed projection.
• Examine the Bar Graph: PickFinder provides a bar graph showing the player's performance over recent games. This visual representation helps you quickly assess trends and patterns.
• Check Additional Stats: Besides the bar graph, look at other relevant stats such as kills per game, first bloods, agents, and maps. These stats provide a comprehensive view of the player's overall performance.

PickFinder's player page provides a visual representation of Autumn's statistics with details on the agents he was playing and on which maps. Details also include his line which is directly imported from PrizePicks, and an opponent filter to see how he has done against specific opponents in the past. As we can see, he has gone over his line 13 times out of his last 15 games which further proves his consistency. 

To add this projection to your personal Pick Builder (betting cart) using PickFinder, click on the blue star near the top left and select "Over" or "Under". In this instance we would put Autumn Over as he has consistenty been going over his projected line. Then you select the app you want to export your parlay to and it will navigate you there. An example is shown below with the player TenZ.

I locked in this pick with another CSGO player after doing this type of research and as you can see, they both hit their line.

Conclusion: Mastering Valorant Projections and Parlays

Finding the best Valorant projections and creating effective parlays requires a combination of thorough analysis, strategic filtering, and careful selection. By focusing on players with high hitrates, analyzing detailed performance metrics, and considering factors like opponent and map performance, you can make more informed bets. This can be done through manual research, however, analytical tools such as PickFinder can help streamline this process.

Remember, successful betting is not just about luck but also about leveraging data and insights to make strategic decisions. With the right approach, you can enhance your betting experience and potentially increase your winnings. Good luck!
