ENORM's 149.5 ADR on Anubis sets up a 2–0 week as VELTRIX Academy spread the load

VELTRIX Academy took both of their ESEA League Season 59 matches this week, and the two wins tell different stories. Against The Turks, the 13–8 on Anubis rested heavily on ENORM and mrRoobzo. Two days later, the 13–6 over Jalla on Ancient came from a much broader scoreboard, with four players finishing on a positive K–D. After a 1–1 week before it, the Central division side end this one 2–0 with a +12 round difference across the two maps.

ENORM carries Anubis

The opener against The Turks finished 13–8, a five-round margin on Anubis, and the individual line that defines it belongs to ENORM: 29 kills to 13 deaths and an ADR of 149.5. That damage figure is the number to sit with. It means ENORM was dealing well over a full player's worth of health per round, on average, across the entire map, and his 2.23 K/D shows he was doing it without giving much back.

mrRoobzo gave him real support with 21–11 and 95 ADR. Behind those two, the numbers drop sharply. Tajk finished 11–15, t0bb3 9–13 and Di_ZZel 6–13 with 31.5 ADR. On paper, this was a win built around two players, and the margin suggests that was enough on the day, though it leaves little room when one of them has a quieter map.

A wider spread on Ancient

Against Jalla the picture shifted. Ancient went 13–6, a seven-round win and the larger of the week's two margins, and this time the kills were shared out. mrRoobzo led the fragging with 20–8, a 2.5 K/D and 86.4 ADR. ENORM, the confirmed Match MVP, was not the top fragger but posted the highest damage on the server at 102.3 ADR alongside 17–10.

The more telling lines came from further down. Tajk turned his Anubis numbers around with 16–10, 87.8 ADR and a 69 percent headshot rate. Di_ZZel went from 6–13 to 13–8, a 1.63 K/D. With four players positive, the win reads as a team result rather than one built on a pair of standout performances. t0bb3 was the exception at 8–16, though his eight assists were the most on the team in that match.

The week in the numbers

ENORM finishes the week with the most kills on the team, 46 over two maps, at a 2.0 K/D and 125.9 ADR. No one else came close to that damage output. mrRoobzo was the more efficient fragger across the week, 41–19 for a 2.16 K/D, and he was the one player to post a strong line in both matches alongside ENORM. Between them they set the tone in each result.

Tajk ends at 27–25 and 73.3 ADR, a week that reads as a slow start followed by a solid second map. Di_ZZel's 19–21 and 46.6 ADR are weighed down by Anubis, while t0bb3's 17–29 is the lowest K–D on the roster this week, offset in part by a team-high 15 assists across the two matches.

Where it leaves them

Two wins, both by clear margins, and a week-on-week step up from 1–1. As of 28 October, FACEIT's table has VELTRIX Academy 61st of 251 teams in the conference with a 5–3 record and 15 points. The encouraging sign in the numbers is not just the results but the second one: a win where the damage and kills came from more than two places. The open question is whether that spread holds, given how much the Anubis victory leaned on ENORM's output.

Ahead

The next fixture is against SlayersMultiService on 2 November at 18:30 UTC, a chance to see whether the balance shown on Ancient carries over.
