Risk-Momentum Transfer Model
Overview
A meta level model describing how risk transfers between teams as pressure, movement, and eliminations create shifting opportunity windows.
Key Points
- Explains how momentum interacts with risk exposure.
- Describes risk transfer events and momentum pivots.
- Covers delayed response cycles during high pressure states.
- Supports neutral analysis of risk beyond tactics or roles.
- Provides structure for interpreting comeback patterns.
Details
Risk Momentum Transfer describes how the responsibility to act and the consequence of failing to act shifts across a match. When one team gains momentum, the opposing team absorbs increasing risk, often being forced into higher exposure decisions.
Momentum is not merely psychological. It reflects structural advantages such as lane control, pressure imbalance, or asymmetry escalation. Risk transfers occur when one side fails to contain pressure, loses a critical lane, or mismanages timing.
This model helps analyze how matches swing between advantage and disadvantage states.
