Surprise blog update time!
For those of you who are avid followers of my blog, you'll know that for at least a few years of UNI[st], I had created year end reviews. With my looming graduation from Ohio State University and some issues with motivation and energy, I decided not to create a review for the whole community. However, as a part of the work that I did to prepare for the ultimately failed undertaking, I collected a lot of data. Data that I will release soon below. Initially, as per the terms of the year end review, I only had covered 2019 events... but when I sat and thought for an extra minute, adding the 2020 events that fit the criteria wasn't that hard.
I will list tournaments of "significance" and the Top 8 below. Events that break 64 entrants or more fall under this category. I've also added in every Red Bull Conquest qualifier from 2019, though if they had less than 64 entrants, I did not list them in character usage table. Without further ado:
