Happy Mothers Day! Bracket tidbits to talk about at Brunch.

Happy Mothers Day!  Bracket tidbits to talk about at Brunch.

What can we say?  The Brackets are in.  Now the VOTING has started.

 

So we took a look at some of the key takeaways from the Bracket Round Data.  Here are some interesting things it says about how you picked in a vacuum.   Will the world agree?  Will these same trends hold as the Tournament rolls on, and characters atually advance?   Who knows?  The People will Decide! 

 

 

  • Most Bracket Picks for Champion: Arya.  Hands down.  She's the most picked character - by far - for Champion with 37% of users picking her to win it all.   She got more picks than the next two - Tyrion and Jon Snow - combined.

 

  • Worst Performing #1 seed: Cersei.  She’s not only low on the popularity scale but she was picked as people’s Champion only 3 times.  The same number as Robb, Brienne, Hodor, and Theon.

 

  • Popular but NOBODY’S Champion: Olenna.  The only character in the top 15 in popularity (she won a lot of individual matchups) that received ZERO picks as Champion. 

 

  • Stuck in the Middle:  Tormund and The Hound were 5th and 6th respectively in both popularity and in #5 and #8 in Champion picks.
