    I wanted to take a step back into the past for Europe and show Europe some love because we don't have a lot of post on Europe. I decided to break down the available support set and character data from tournaments used in the European DX 2018 PR. However Wanted 9: Hollywood Edition and Revolution 2018 will not be included in this as there is no Vods or available character data through the brackets. The tournaments included will be Top 8 for Respawn 6 and Sheffield Qualifier and only Top 4 for Calyptus Cup Climax. Calyptus Cup Climax will only see Top 4 because only Top 4 data was readily available.
     
     
    Support Set Appearances:

    Support Win Rates:

    Support Tournament Round Separation:
    Rows that are left blanked means that the support set did not appear in that tournament.
     
    Character Appearance Chart:
     
    Character Head to Head Chart:
    For the head to head chart I decided to leave out any character that saw zero play to make things easier to read.
