Meta Monday: Chad-Mec, aka What Is Dead May Never Die

Welcome to another Meta Monday. This weekend was smaller with only 9 events. You will see two events from last week on the bottom and added to the data table below for a total of 11 events in the data. One was an event that was locked till late Monday and the other was pointed out to me. It’s from Poland and can be found on Championshub.app.  

Lists can be found on Bestcoastpairings.com or other sites as listed below. Some events are sponsored and thus can be seen without a paid membership. Everything else requires the membership and you should support BCP if you can.

Please support Meta Monday on Patreon if you can. I put a lot hours into this each Sunday. Thanks for all the support.

My tAkeaways:

If your faction is not listed below check out the Data Table below to see how they did this weekend

The 5 Ad Mec players this weekend(and from the one event from last weekend) won 2 events and another went X-1 for a 63% win rate. With only 5 players, a less than 1% representation of the player base this weekend this faction is truly dead, but these dead boys are winning.

GSC was the worst faction of the weekend with a 30% win rate but also only had 5 players. Hard to tell how this faction is really doing with so little play but with no event wins and no top placing its as far underground as it can be at this point.

Necrons were the most played faction again this weekend with a nice 55% win rate and 3 event wins. Winning the largest event of the weekend. 8 of their 50 players went X-0 or X-1.

Sisters had a good weekend with a 62% win rate and 6 of their 14 players going X-0/X-1. They are seeing more play and are one of the best factions in the game it seems.

Orks had a brutal weekend with decent representation and a whopping 38% win rate. 3 of their players did go X-1 which is pretty healthy but they seem caught between Custodes and factions teching into Custodes.

Drukhari had 54% win rate and Skysplinter had a 58% this weekend. With 4 of hteir 14 players going X-1. They are doing better than a lot thought they would and its nice to see them back on the tables.

Custodes took a small step back this weekend with a 50% win rate and only 2 players out of their 39 going X-1. I wonder if the Infantry spam list just has one too many bad match ups and something else is needed at the top tables.

Thousand Sons continue to be one of the best factions since the Data Slate with a 55% win and 4 of their 13 players placing well.   

Space Marines had a better weekend with GTF and Vanguard doing well. Still they had 3 of their 32 players place well.

World Eaters are good? An event win and a 54% win rate with 6 of their 19 players going X-0 or X-1. Yep them angry boys just might be alright
