3RD ASIAN-PACIFIC TOURNAMENT LEAGUE STATISTICS19 gamesViewed on VulcanHDGaming's Youtube PlaylistLink:Introduction: I have recently been getting back into SD again, and decided to compile statistics for the first tournament I have completed watching. I enjoy the game at a high level of play, and at only 90 hours of SD (300 in WGRD) I am not qualified to make statements concerning balance at this level of play, and have attempted to make my observations just that- observations free from a slant either way. This is just an attempt to record raw data to be used by those who do understand what happened. Contains spoilers for the winner of the tournament, for those who haven't watched it.Overview: Wins/lossesAllies- 14/5Axis- 5/14Allies had a 74% chance to win versus a 26% chance for Axis players (rounded).Wins by player:Chickendew- 1Tarsh_IV- 7Yuejin- 5Corbeau- 2Protosszocker- 1Nicholas Fricke- 1AmberT- 2Losses by player:DuroSVK- 2Nicholas Fricke- 2Chickendew- 2Gal_Oneill- 2Tarsh_IV- 2Theoman222- 2Protosszocker- 2AmberT- 2Corbeau- 2Yuejin- 1Champion: YueJinDivisions by popularity:Allies- 9 divisionsDemi Brigade SAS- 5 picks7th Desert Rats- 3 picks6th Guards Armored- 3 picks15th Scotts- 2 picks101st AB- 2 picks6th AB- 1 pick4th Armored- 1 pick3rd Canadian- 1 pick2nd Infantry- 1 pickAxis- 8 divisions9.

Luftlande: 1GroSS Paris: 2Notes:-Allies won all 3 rounds of the grand finals, despite players alternating to different Allied divisions every round.-Most Axis victories happened within the first 10 rounds of the tournament.-Despite being most picked, 9. Panzer only had a 37% chance to win-The Demi Brigade SAS had an 80% chance to win as the most popular Allied division-The general metagame seems to favor decks with high veterancy infantry in the early game and the use of early light (9. Panzer Pz. II Luchs) or sometimes medium tanks (Demi Brigade Panzer IV). Cheap infantry are also frequently used to take ground and soak damage. Good aircraft options are also important. Use of Marders by Axis players, especially 9. Panzer, prevalent over the use of actual tanks, including StuGs, usually starting in Phase B. This is due to range and in 9. Panzer's case, veterancy.-While most games lasted to 30 or the full 40 minutes, there were only a few comeback games, including a notable comeback by AmberT as 6th Guards Armored (Game #9).
