Hello seattlea, it's a pleasure to greet you. Yes, in the modern format, 70% of players are in Silver and Bronze leagues. The remaining players manage to climb beyond the Gold league. I assume you mean they are not "serious" players in the sense that they haven't invested in cards for the new Conclave Arcane (CA) format. I'm included in that group.
It would be interesting to know how many of those players who manage to climb beyond the Gold league do so because they've invested in a decent card deck, or because they are skilled and can still climb to those positions with little investment. I think a large part of what's happening is a huge crisis due to a lack of Archons.
In the Wild format, the opposite is true; more than 80% of players are in Gold league or higher. I assume that most players here have a consolidated card collection built over time, which allows them to play at that level in this format. In my opinion, I don't think this is very healthy, and there should be a more homogeneous distribution of players across all leagues in the Wild format. For example, the modern format has that distribution towards the lower levels, which is understandable since the new card set has just come out, and eventually, players will acquire the cards that will allow them to advance to higher leagues. If so, the distribution of players in the modern format should tend towards a similar distribution to the Wild format over time. I believe this will happen in about a year.
As for the number of unique players in tournaments, it's high because this group includes all players who participated in brawls throughout Season 162. I think it's important to break down that data in more detail.
Anyway, as I mentioned in the post, the processing is still very raw for now, and I need to define the schemas to implement the data service for users. First, it has to be fully automated and follow a strong DRY philosophy. What I do need to know is what type of questions players consider most important to answer.
Thank you very much for your comment, and if possible, I hope for your help in consolidating this service.
