I made some stats analyis on KC’s tournaments games to understand how the game works in high level, raise some old discussions and find some patterns between the houses. First of all, I’d liked to use all the 36 games, but it would be a long time until they get finished. So I selected the 24 games already finished in KC.
First, here are the stats about the wins per houses:
I also think an analysis based on average points per game is more concrete. Because it’s possible for a house to win no games and yet finish all of them in second. The same way, one house can win 10 games and finish 14 games in last. So I made the stats about the average points per game.
An interesting fact we can see is that Martell has more points per game, but yet few wins. I think it’s because of his defensive position, that is hard to penetrate and hard to break through.
To go deeper, I sort the games by 3 criteria. They are: If Greyjoy attacked Stark first instead of Lannister (West Ally), what was the last round and if the game was finished with 7 castles or not (The Seven).
West Alliance
First, we see the stats about how the West aliance affected the game. There were 4 games where the West was in war and 20 where they were allies.
As we can see the game was well balanced when the West was ally. But when they were at war there was a huge diference. Lannister did not have a chance to fight. We can see the stats below about how many castles Lannister finished when the West was ally and when was not. In other words, everytime there was an early war between Lannister and GJ, the lions were crushed. Stark also, was the house which benefits the most when west is not ally, because of the war against GJ.
Another importante thing is when the round is finished in West aliance. We can see the game lasted until last round when there was the western aliance.
The Seven
Here are the stats about the average points when the game is finished with 7 castles. We can see Stark was much stronger when the games lasted until last round. On the other hand, Bara was stronger when the seven happened. Bara had 4 wins with the seven and Stark 4 without seven castles. Tyrell also only won with the seven.
Conclusions
By the stats of KC’s we can understand how the game works in high level. We can conclude the top players prefer an west aliance, because the game is more balanced when it happens. When there’s no alliance, GJ wins the war everytime and Lannister does not have a chance. Also, Stark is the house which benefits the most in the western war.
On the other hand, Bara’s win comes from an conquest of seven castles and Stark’s win comes from the last round. Martel is a strong house, but can’t win many times. We can see the weaker house in high level is Tyrell, which few points per game.
I just mined the data and brought some stats, guys. Now, what do you think?
First, here are the stats about the wins per houses:
Wins per house
B - 5
G - 6
L - 4
M - 3
S - 4
T - 2
We can see, Tyrell has only 2 wins. But there’s na interesting point. Greyjoy, Baratheon and Lannister are the houses with most wins. But where does the win of each house come from?I also think an analysis based on average points per game is more concrete. Because it’s possible for a house to win no games and yet finish all of them in second. The same way, one house can win 10 games and finish 14 games in last. So I made the stats about the average points per game.
Average points per game
B - 7,3
G - 7,8
L - 7,2

M - 8,3
