Yay finally gandara back in the 10s.

All those statistics seem like holdovers from someones stock trading spreadsheet.

Is there any really meaningful data there?

Has this been explained in a previous post?

Can you please post the stats either side by side or put Europe first, considering that it is relevant to far more people. Annoying seeing the American stats at the top and having to scroll down just to see my server.

"Crazy" isn't the term I'd use: "Expected", "Obvious", or even "Highly Anticipated", but not crazy. Their rise through the tiers was like taking a top rated Pro Football team and putting them up against the Pop Warner league. Once they crushed the children in the bottom brackets they moved on through the High school and College Football circuits, to finally arrive back in the Pro's. But even though they're now back in the Pro's they're only up against the weakest teams in the circuit...like they're the Superbowl Championship Ravens up against the Dolphins and the Chiefs... It'd be "crazy" if/when they DON'T do well...if the football reference doesn't make sense it's like Halo's Master Chief up against a couple dudes from ODST, or Superman versus Aquaman and Robin. They may get in a few good hits but we all know whats going to happen there.

All I see here is a hungry server with its eyes set on tier 1 filled with guilds and players who were there before...Kaineng was the last grand bandwagon of Guild Wars 2, and is now the home of some of the best players in the game, period.

Expected if you follow such things, I suppose.  I imagine some hot guilds must have flocked to the server or something, and people who watch WvW saw this coming from a mile away.

It's like finding out the Clippers or the Cubs are surefire favorites to win it all.  Sure, NBA and MLB fans might see it coming early, but to casual fans, those are teams we just kinda expect to choke.
