Method

Win rate is wins divided by wins plus losses. It counts every round, the playoff included. Byes and draws are left out.

The win rate to compare against is 50.0%, not 50%. These lists are the top 26 of 26 players, so they win most of their matches. Read every win rate on this page against 50.0%.

This page does not rate archetypes. One event is too small a sample. All 11 archetypes here played matches, but the narrowest 95% interval is 31 points wide and the middle one is about 52, and all of them include the field's own 50.0%. So no archetype here can be called better or worse than the field. The bar above shows share, which one event can measure. Win rates live on the archetype page, which uses the whole format.

Archetype labels come from the source when it publishes one, and from our classifier when it does not. A guess is marked with *. Unknown means the classifier could not place the list. Those lists still count in the field and in the win rate above.
