oh can you imagine if he wins it for a fourth time with csm i do love that you put csm on this front page here hanging out next to orcs and custodians because csm is uh is a faction you know what i would say in all of the lgts that liam's won it isn't necessarily been the strongest faction and i think this one is probably the one where csm is actually probably at its weakest point relative to the rest of the meta um maybe equal to the last one but yeah pretty pretty similar Yeah.

You know, I think the meta, when you look at what the top players bring, is obviously, of course, always going to be different.

I think if you look at the top players, what they're playing, we're going to run through some of them now.

I mean, Warmasters was kind of like this as well to a certain extent, but it feels like one of the first LGTs where everyone is playing their style of Warhammer, which I think is really cool.

I don't think that there is a single list I can point to and be like... four people are playing this list, you know? Which is really awesome

So yeah, my observation is, I think the meta chasing at the very top is still there, you know? But it's far less present than actually what is a pretty imbalanced set of faction distributions here.

And I think for everyone outside of the very top players, I think this is going to be a pretty lopsided meta in terms of what they're expecting to face.

And yeah, lo and behold, like I said, you know, custodians got off super light.
