And we are back! After a few month hiatus, the Weekly Stats Report is back, bringing you the newest stats from the proleague every week.
In the team standings we have the defending champions rocking it up at the top of the log again, but not as convincingly as they did last season. In the first eight matches, Lecaf has already dropped two, losing against both STX and MBC in straight sets.
SKT has continued their climb to the top, taking important games from a still mediocre eSTRO team and a strong OGN squad. In contrast CJ Entus has dropped into the bottom third after losing against both Samsung and STX.
Finally, in the bottom half, ACE is trying hard to move eSTRO into the last spot, having already won as many games this season as they did in the entire previous season. Perhaps with the likes of a strong DaezanG, backed up with Boxer's genius, and Oversky's aggression, ACE finally has a chance this season to move out of their regular 12th position.
The map statistics are showing an unfortunate season for Zerg so far, perhaps reflected in our very own TSL season so far. Zerg is barely breathing with a winning rate of only 38%. Protoss is showing a similar win ratio to last season, leading the map statistics, mostly thanks to a repeat performance on a largely unaltered Katrina SE, while Terran seems to be doing well on all the maps, only falling slightly short on Andromeda.
In the 1v1 rankings, our current OSL champion Flash is showing dominating form, going 9-1 in his first ten games, with a fairly even spread of games. The only player able to take a game from Flash so far this season is Canata, who took an unexpected game in the opening match of the season.
A surprise player at the top of the list is Sea.Pure, the young WeMade FOX Protoss. After an unimpressive first proleague, Pure has opened his second proleague season with five straight wins, taking games from opponents of every race. Another young one in the top five is the MBCGame HERO Terran RuBy. While RuBy has been played fairly often by MBC, his recent form in the proleague might earn him a permanent spot in the line-up.
Finally, in the 2v2 rankings, we see some well known teams showing form again, with TT and Jihyun dominating at second place, and Saint and Light showing a strong performance in fourth place. The racial spread for the 2v2 teams are fairly equal so far, with the Protoss teams taking three of the top five positions, while the Terran teams take the mid positions.
Of the top five teams, only the team of Tester and hyvaa have been able to show consistent form on Hunters, going 5-2 there. TT and Jihyun has been the most impressive on Hanibal, winning four of their first five games.
I hope you've all enjoyed this update! They will start appearing regularly from now on, so watch out for them! See you next week.
