So the community can more intelligently talk about the first turn advantage, can we get some data? Specifically:

1. Are you able to look at the % of time player 1 wins the game across all League games?

In beta yes, right now in production no. But our analysis tools need to be re-worked as the scale of data is huge and none of our current tools work. I'm really hoping to get back to this, but with more pressing issues of crashes, non-expiring games, and league matches not counting, it's at the bottom of the list right now.

Answer to #1 applies here.

Our initial tools weren't that specific. But I'll keep that in mind when re-implementing the analytics. Breakdown by maps/leagues will be helpful in pinpointing issues.

This I *can* do, and it's ready to go. I've just been sitting on it to let the leagues settle out a bit. Look for it in the news feed and forums soon.
