There were three more Kotei this weekend, and we also have the full data from South Sioux City last weekend. I’m sure that everyone who isn’t a Dragon or Crab player will be happy that Dragon and Crab didn’t win anything over the weekend.
Ironically, Dragon paired its failure to win any tournaments with an uptick in its make the cut rate, somewhat reducing the disparity between those two metrics (Crab lost some steam as well). Meanwhile, the Spider playerbase seems to have thrown in the towel, sliding down towards the Crane at the low end of the make the cut rate rankings (and Crane went up).
