Since only 1 SoD game remains in the tournament, we can now analyze the statistics. A total of 51 games were played in SoD, and for each Castle, the number of games, win percentage, and win-loss record are listed.

Rampart - 18 games, 78%, 14-4
Flax - 10 games, 70%, 7-3
Dungeon - 15 games, 53%, 8-7
Swamp - 4 games, 50%, 2-2
Stronghold - 22 games, 41%, 9-13
Tower - 13 games, 38%, 5-8
Castle - 14 games, 36%, 5-9
Necropolis - 5 games, 20%, 1-4
Inferno - 1 game, 0%, 0-1

Castle turned out to be unexpectedly weak; in my opinion, this result does not fully reflect the Castle's actual strength. The Necropolis result is also not entirely representative, simply due to the small number of games.

Statistics for starting heroes:

Castle: Valeska - 10, Caitlin - 4 (it's not very clear why Caitlin was chosen)
Rampart: Ivor - 9, Kiri - 8, Mephala - 1 (here's an interesting competition for the role of starting hero)
Tower: Ain - 6, Nila - 5, Torosar - 2 (in my opinion, Torosar is underrated; I would start with him for the Tower)
Inferno: Kalh - 1
Dungeon: Shakti - 13, Gunnar - 2
Stronghold: Gurnisson - 15, Crag - 5, Dessa - 2, Tyraxor - 1 (Crag and Dessa are clearly not suitable for this build)
Swamp: Tazar - 4

Most frequent Castle pairings:

6 games - Rampart vs. Castle 6:0 (here seems to be the reason; with a score of at least 4:2, the statistics for the Castles would be more adequate to their strength)
6 games - Stronghold vs. Tower 4:2
4 games - Rampart vs. Stronghold 4:0
4 games - Stronghold vs. Castle 2:2
4 games - Rampart vs. Dungeon 2:2
4 games - Flax vs. Dungeon 3:1
3 games - Dungeon vs. Stronghold 3:0

I don't really understand people who chose pairings like Stronghold-Rampart or Stronghold-Dungeon; it's already clear that Stronghold is significantly weaker, and they were once again convinced of this - 0:7.

Statistics for colors - 22 wins for red vs. 29 wins for blue. Red rush was allowed, but it didn't help...

Average game length - 18 days, i.e., 1.3.4.
