Overall Results
We are seeing love for all of the factions in the 2020 Root Winter Tournament! I was honestly surprised to see the love the factions seems fairly evenly spread across all of them.
Due to the nature of the tournament, the high-reach factions are more likely to get picked since they are more likely to be in the draft.
And since they are going to be there more often, they will also be passed over more often. I will say, I am surprised how often the Woodland alliance was passed over.
Faction Ranking (Calculated as Number of Wins/Numbers of Plays) is:
| Riverfolk Company | 46% |
| Woodland Alliance | 44% |
| Vagabond | 39% |
| Marquise de Cat | 30% |
| Underground Duchy | 29% |
| Eyrie Dynasties | 29% |
| Lizard Cult | 21% |
| Corvid Conspiracy | 0% |
A part of my absolutely adores that the Marquise de Cat, the Underground Duchy, the Eyrie Dynasties, the Woodland Alliance, and the Vagabond has won the same number of games. And poor corvids are left behind.
While there factions have won the same number of games, they were not played in the same number of games which is why we see a difference in the factions ranking.
Below are some other stat breakdowns from the 2020 Root Winter Tournament that I found interesting!
