Axis by axis
Execution8 vs 8
Same score on execution - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.

Recoil control and snap aim decide most firefights

Arena aim plus portal movement sets a high mechanical bar

Splitgate: Arena Reloaded
Predicting where humans will portal from is constant
Variance2 vs 2

Day of Defeat: Source
Known maps, minimal randomness beyond spawn waves
Splitgate: Arena Reloaded
Spawns and weapon timers add mild uncertainty

Day of Defeat: Source
Class loadouts and lane control are quickly mapped
Splitgate: Arena Reloaded
Portal setups and map control patterns are learnable theory
