Roster building, matchups, and situational strategy run underneath
Team Fortress 2
Class loadouts and map routes solvable
A matching score does not mean a matching test. Two games can both sit at 10 on execution and demand completely different things of you - which is why the reasoning above matters more than the number beside it.
