Tournament impact

Which tournaments were best at bringing in new players who stayed? Every ranked tournament (FFA, 1v1 and Team) is judged by its debutants — players whose first-ever ranked tournament it was — and what they did afterwards: entered another tournament, kept chatting on Discord, or both (retained). Recomputed live from the tournament records and the bot's Discord activity log.

What became of each month's new players

Every debut since Discord tracking began (11 Nov 2020), split by what the player did afterwards. Retained players entered another tournament AND kept chatting; recent months are still to be decided.

Every ranked tournament

All 69 ranked tournaments (1v1), newest first. Percentages for played again onwards are shares of that tournament's new players; a dot means the tournament predates Discord tracking.

About this data

  • Only ranked tournaments count — a player's "debut" here may not be their first community event, and coming back to unranked events is invisible to this page.
  • Discord activity is tracked since 11 Nov 2020 (history still being backfilled), only on the servers the Friends of Risk bot is a member of. Tournament players who never post there count as not chatting.
  • Of the 9,036 tracked debutants, 822 (9%) were already chatting on Discord more than 90 days before their first tournament ended — regulars converting to tournaments rather than newcomers.
  • "Around 90d+" needs the tournament to be at least 90 days old; younger tournaments show "soon".
  • Players are matched by Discord id between the tournament results and the activity log. The debut of a player entering several formats on the same closing date is attributed to one tournament (FFA first).
