Huge shout out to members of the SVO Community for giving us such helpful feedback. Here are the SVO WEST April Cup Key Picks to provide insights of cards that played a distinctive role in the tournament.
For the class pick rate, Bloodcraft, Dragoncraft, Havencraft, and Forestcraft usage had significantly increased since March with a large decrease in the usage of Shadowcraft and Runecraft. With the exception of Swordcraft, this behavior directly mirrored SEAO. With the Darkness Over Vellsar expansion, cards are starting to find their places in meta decks.
Day 1 (Swiss Rounds and Top 16 Playoffs): April 17, 2021
Day 2 (Top 8 Bracket): April 18, 2021
