changed👑 Top-Scoring PlayersCongratulations to the top-scoring coaches!!! We've also been treated to another breakout performance from Jack & The Mega Beasts, who won't let a little thing like being fictional keep them from success on the player leaderboards.

changed📊 Beastie Usage Stats!As has become tradition, we've collected a ton of data on Beastie usage during this event and we're happy to share that data with you for further investigation!

added> Check out the STATS here!As someone who always jumps in for some games myself, it's always wonderful to see the diversity of teams that players run. What's interesting to me this time around is how stable some of the popularity rankings are; even with some notable play adjustments, Hopra is still firmly on top in popularity, with Beasties that got exciting new tools like Magpike and Crabaret still sit relatively low in usage. Even the least-used adults are seeing >1% in usage though, and that goes to show just how much players are still exploring in this balance patch.

changedThank you!!!I just want to express my heartfelt gratitude to all the players who choose to play Beastieball... It's a dream to get to make a game I'm so excited about and to foster a thriving community of fun opponents. We'll be looking at stats and issues that surfaced from this event and continue our efforts to make the game the best it can be!
