My Takeaways:

Tau had a 57% win rate this weekend. One event win and 8 players that went X-0/X-1

Black Templars had a 56% win rate. 2 event wins and 8 players that also went X-0/X-1. Templars now have 6 event wins placing them second for most wins since the data slate.

Both Tau and Black Templars (Along With BA Sons) have two things in common. A near 50% win rate into Crons and a strong favorability into Custodies per Stat Check data. I think this shows in the results keeping Custodes in check and Necrons winning but not dominating the weekly numbers.

Necrons had 80 players this weekend with a 56% win rate and 18 players going X-0 or X-1. With 2 event wins they now have 14 wins since the data slate meaning they have double the event wins then the next closeses faction

Custodes had 62 players a 54% win rate and 12 players that went X-0/X-1 this weekend. With no event wins this weekend they now have 5 total since the data slate. Placing them tired in 3^rd place with Aeldari, Guard and Sisters.

Tyranids have zero event wins in 1300+ games played since the DS. This weekend they had a 45% win rate and 7 of their 46 players go X-1.

Ad Mec had the worst win rate of the weekend at 38% with only 8 players. Still a dead faction.

Generic SM also had a 38% win rate this weekend and an overall win rate of 40% since the DS. They had 2 of their 50 players go X-1.

Orks also keep falling. With a 39% weekend they are headed in the wrong direction.

Grey Knights won 2 events this weekend. One with a list that had 5 Dreads (2GM), 3 Land Raiders and 3 Tec Marines….oh and some Henchmen, WTF? They had a 52% win rate and 7 players that went X-0/X-1.

Blood Angels won 2 events. Both of the winners ran Sons which had 62% win rate but overall Blood Angels had a 52% win rate because half of them chose poorly.
