The Bokur Brawl Wrap up Show Going over IG and Team Event by the numbers

In the latest Episode of Tyrants on the field we breakdown may events in North America, Europe and the Entire world Meta for april 30th- June 2nd looking only at Rated, Singles Events, With 10 or more players. We break down both the North American, and European pieces of the pie and then look at the world aggregate over that time frame with the same restrictions to get a view. Additionally I then talk about power level of models and lists not always being evident from the cards and model selection but some power levels being obscured by needing to see it on the table. As power level of rules can often be over looked or undervalued on paper but come up frequently in actual play patterns that make the rule better. Like wise some rules that are amazing on paper may in practice be less frequently exploitable. We walk through some recent examples in Shadow Flame shard and my own journey of finding greater power level of some of these models in actual play than I was valuing their evaluation on paper. 

This is a big one folks, we talk all about the Numbers of the IGs at Bokur Brawl and the Numbers of the Bokur Brawl Team tournament. A team tournament that yours truly called prior to the event in terms of all the teams I told you to watch out for were your top 6. Lots of data and data analysis in this one talking about where the metas at why its there and where its likely heading. This was an awesome event by all accounts run by NJSOBs headed up by Steve and Seth and team and again they gave us all a reason to wish we too were in New Jersey. 

In this episode I talk about who my favorite teams are to win the event in no particular order. I also dive a little deeper into some of the more innovative lists from the event that caught my eye and discuss some general meta bits and bobs before the event. And as a treat we trash talk the 3 IG pods as we bemoan the fact that commitments are keeping me from the brawl this year.

Its the calm before the brawl List lock occurred earlier today. And that means I do what I do best, and I do an initial read of the teams the meta and go through the particulars of the lists present. In this episode we go through all the lists as is and offer some meta commentary on the whole at the end. In our next episode we'll talk some of my favorites for the event and the lists I'm particularly fond of. 

I go over the numbers after the final round, congratulate the winners and talk about list decisions, the general meta, team construction theories and a whole lot more.

In this one I cover the 8 teams of the ATC the Amercia's Team Championship at adepticon. Go over team comp and associated caster pairings. I have 3 lists that I spot lite and we break down the win rates for the event after 2 rounds in this part 1. Part 2 coming soon after the event concludes.

We take a quick peak at polish masters by the numbers. Then I talk briefly about the scum and shadow boxset rules releases through sunday evening. and finally we take a peak at the general meta through March 16th.

This is a big one we breakdown the numbers of LVO, CaptainCon, the broken Coast barrage and CaptainCon as we look at the first baby steps of the meta post January update and Post Sr 2025 update. We go through each event and talk about players that cross pollenated these events as well as some new meta concepts that we are starting to see and look to watch as they develop. And we even look at the first big event of year in Australia to see how the other half are living it up post January update.

In this episode I got to look at the SR 2025 steamroller and I give my takes on the new packet and I talk about the decision by SFG to make IG qualifiers adhere to a painting requirement and why I am against this decision. 

I do a deepish dive on the numbers for the entire world meta for a year. Diving into the data about our favorite Mark 4 factions and their Armies of Legend Counter Parts with Significant win and play rates. Also some ending thoughts on SR 2024 design philosophy and hopes for 2025. Merry Holidays and Such and happiest and healthiest of New Years.
