The first Splinterlands Land Presale happened this past weekend on November 7th, 2020. This is an analysis of the lottery along with who was able to get land.
@kiokizz has written up a good data-centric summary here: https://peakd.com/splinterlands/@splinterstats/lands-pre-sale-stage-1

Of the 50 entries:
| Payment | Number | Percentage |
|---|---|---|
| DEC | 30 | 60% |
| Credits | 20 | 40% |
| Token | Number | Percentage |
|---|---|---|
| Region | 46 | 92% |
| Tracts | 3 | 6% |
| Plots | 1 | 2% |
Prior to the lottery, I had been carefully keeping track of people and groups that were planning to enter:
| Known? | Number | Percentage |
|---|---|---|
| Expected | 26 | 52% |
| Unexpected | 24 | 48% |
I do not have complete information (there are 4 unknown accounts that I am assuming are individuals) but to the best of my knowledge:
| Composition | Number | Percentage |
|---|---|---|
| Individual | 21 | 42% |
| Guild Adjacent | 7 | 14% |
| Pool Group / Guild | 21 | 42% |
| Organization | 1 | 2% |
"Guild adjacent" are individuals closely affiliated with a guild who might offer some of their land to their guildmates.
"Organization" includes the likes of the Blockchain Founders Fund.
Also:
7 entries were just to increase chances of people who wanted only 1 region (they were boosting their odds)
6 entries were additional pools from groups that had already submitted an initial pooled entry
