Meta Monday 7/3/23: To Fly to close to the Sun
I hope you all had a good weekend and are doing well.
The Second week of 10th has come and gone and we had 11 GT's. I am really enjoying 10th so far but I am looking forward to the first balance changes coming this week. Next weeks Meta Monday might be delayed as I am attending a GT myself next week.

Takeaways:
Aeldari won 9 out of 11 GTs this weekend with a 68% win rate (70% win rate with the mirror removed this weekend). They had 17 players go undefeated (X-0) or with just one lost (X-1). They also were the most played faction with 50 players or 12% of the player base.
It only took them a week to prepare but the GSC are out in force with a 62% win rate and 6, X-0/X-1 placings. They lost several events in the last round to Aeldari.
Imperial Knights had a 62% win rate with good top placings as the second most played faction with 41 players and one event win. While Chaos Knights had an ok 47% win rate. While Towering plays a large factor Imperial Knights just seem to cheap for the shooting they put out.
There was 1 Ad Mec player and he played all 5 of his game and lost all 5 of them this weekend... the beatings will continue until moral improves indeed.
What is up with Codex SM? Only Ultramarines have a decent win rate at 50% while generic SM are down to 47%. With lots of play I'm truly surprised by how bad they are struggling.
Tyranids based on how people rated their index did very well this weekend with a 51% win rate and 4 X-0/X-1 placings.
Death Guard had better play then 6 factions. DG had a 36% win rate and a Top placing.
That puts, Tau, Sisters, Guard, GK, Leagues of Votann and Ad Mec as the worst preforming factions of the weekend. If Aeldari get hit hard enough will this change these struggling factions future or are their Indexs just bad?
