What the Data Shows
The current tournament meta has three clear layers.
grove is the strongest proven option. It is one of the two most popular factions overall, remains above 56% across the full event, and continues to perform well beyond the opening stage.
hive and schism have stronger post-Stage 1 win rates, but both are supported by much smaller samples.
temple presents the clearest gap between popularity and results. Players continue to select it more than any other faction, yet it holds the lowest overall win rate and has performed even worse after Stage 1.
The remaining matches will show whether Grove can maintain its balance of popularity and performance as each division approaches its final rounds.
