Dear All,

We’ve officially closed the books on the first quarter of 2026 last month, and the data proves that Masters of the Squares is operating at an incredibly high level. After the breakout success of 2025, Q1 was the real test to see if we could maintain that pace as a larger, more established club.

The results speak for themselves. We are winning a level of consistency that is hard to find in online communities. Across 90 club events, we secured 69 wins and only 15 losses. This is a clear indication of the talent and discipline we have across the board.

What’s most encouraging is the scale of participation. Having 213 unique players represent the club in just three months shows that our depth is our greatest asset. We managed nearly 2000 matches while keeping our timeout ratio down at 3.18%, proving that our members take their commitments as seriously as their tactics.

The Q1 Numbers:

  • Club Events: 90 (69 Wins | 6 Draws | 15 Losses)

  • Total Matches Played: 1948

  • Total Individual Wins: 1120

  • Overall Win Rate: 57.5%

  • Win/Loss Point Ratio: 1.59

  • Timeout Rate: 3.18%

  • Unique Participants: 213
