Top 8 Spring Fest 2022 Weiss Schwarz Decks

Notes & FAQ

  • 5th to 8th place teams are listed in no particular order.
  • Lists marked with ✗ were chosen to be kept private by the players.
  • Locations marked with only played a Top 4 cut due to a lower number of teams. For these locations, the 5th to 8th place teams (if listed) are based on the Swiss standing – I thought I’d include them anyway.
  • Locations with less than 8 teams were changed to a 1v1 format instead of teams. That’s why one event just has a list of decks instead of the full table for teams.
  • The A/B/C seating order might not always be accurate – especially for European events, and doubly so for the 5th to 8th place teams.

Statistics

Locations: 15 (14 trios + 1 singles format)
Decklists: 319 collected of 344 total (112 teams + 8 singles)
Team lineups: 111 collected of 112 total

For the stats below, data from the 1v1 format is NOT included in the calculations.

As of writing the final stats breakdown (July 10th), I have managed to gather 99% of team lineups and 93% of all decklists. That is honestly mindblowing and beyond even my most generous expectations! And of course, none of this would be possible without all the people who took time out of their already busy tournament days to help put this data together – I really can’t thank you enough ♥

Top 8 Representation – Overall

This section sums up each set’s representation in general, NOT accounting for the locations where the set may not have been eligible for play. Keep in mind that HOL was released mid-circuit, and some other sets were not legal for play in certain locations.

Keep in mind that in the team format, the maximum representation any set can have is 33.33%: the representation it would have if every team played it.

Unsurprisingly, Mushoku held onto its steady lead all the way to the end, representing a 5th of the entire deck pool. Bandori persevered a fair bit behind it at 12.91% of all decks, and Hololive jumped into 3rd place despite its late release making it legal to play at only 8 of the 14 total locations with team events – which means we can expect its representation to be even higher during BCS later this year.

While the team representation chart essentially covers the same info as above, just multiplied to a different scale, I still think it’s helpful to directly visualize what an individual set’s representation really means in a team format, because as noted above, any given set could only represent a third of the total pool of decks at maximum. So with the specifics of the trios format in mind, we can see that Mushoku was encountered on 59.46% of all teams, Bandori on 38.74% and Hololive on 35.14%.

And here’s a complete summary of each set’s representation on both scales:

n = 333 decks, 111 teams
SET COUNT % of all decks % of all teams
MTI 66 19.82% 59.46%
BD 43 12.91% 38.74%
HOL 39 11.71% 35.14%
TSK 29 8.71% 26.13%
RWBY 24 7.21% 21.62%
LSS 18 5.41% 16.22%
KGL 17 5.11% 15.32%
FS 16 4.80% 14.41%
5HY 14 4.20% 12.61%
DAL 13 3.90% 11.71%
SAO 9 2.70% 8.11%

Top 8 Representation – Adjusted for Set Eligibility

In this section, each set’s representation is calculated based on the locations where it was allowed for play. For example: Bandori was allowed at all locations so its representation remains 43 decks out of 333 total decks = 12.91%, but Mushoku was not eligible at one of the locations, so its adjusted representation becomes 66 decks out of 309 all possible decks (333 decks – 1 location * 8 teams * 3 decks).

The affected sets are MTI, AT, SDS, and RWBY due to regional restrictions, and HOL due to being released mid season. They will be marked with blue on the charts for added visibility. For their representation, instead of the 14 locations / 111 teams / 333 decks total, the following numbers are used:

Set with restrictions Locations Possible Teams Possible Decks
MTI 13 103 309
AT 9 72 216
SDS 11 87 261
RWBY 13 103 309
HOL 8 63 189

Note: if you’re doing the math yourself, you can see that the new total for Adventure Time is “off” by 1. That’s actually correct due to it being the only set restricted in Mexico, which just happens to be the location from which we’re missing the last team lineup – so removing that location from its total only takes away 7 of its possible teams instead of 8, because one is not in the dataset anyway.

As suspected (or maybe even already calculated by some of you), we can see that with the added adjustments, Hololive shoots up to 2nd place with nearly the same representation as Mushoku: 20.63% of all possible decks and 61.90% of all possible teams compared to Mushoku’s 21.36% of all possible decks and 64.08% of all possible teams.

The rest of the adjustments don’t result in any major changes, but you can check them out here:

Conversion From Top 8 to 1st Place

Fate and Quints, the 8th and 9th most represented sets in Top 8, ended up with the highest conversion rate. Fate appeared in the Top 8 cut 16 times and got 4 wins, meanwhile Quints appeared 14 times and won 3, with Slime joining slightly lower at 20.69% conversion from 29 appearances in Top 8 and 6 wins.

Here are the numbers for all the decks that made it to 1st place:

Set 1st Places Top 8 Appearances Conversion
FS 4 16 25.00%
