Four divisions. 315 teams. 467 wars in one weekend, decided by everything from a 29-second triple to a tiebreak that needed a stopwatch. This is the July Monthly Qualifier, by the numbers.
The July 11-12 qualifier weekend was the biggest of the season so far. The Town Hall 18 main event alone drew 101 teams, and for the first time all three Town Hall Cups divisions (TH15, TH12 and TH9) ran their brackets on the same weekend. Eight teams per division punched a ticket to their Monthly Final. Here is what the data says about how it went down.
Four divisions, four different games
Same weekend, same double-elimination format, yet completely different textures of war. At TH9, more than three quarters of all attacks ended in a triple. At TH18 it was fewer than one in four. That gap is the whole story of the Town Hall Cups: the lower the hall, the more perfect play becomes the baseline, and the more wars are separated by tenths of a percent instead of stars.
Share of attacks scoring three stars · July 11-12
| Division | Teams | Wars fought | Triple rate | Avg destruction | Fastest triple |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| TH18 main event | 101 | 173 | 23.8% | 86.9% | 100s · LUX ThePunisher |
| TH15 Cup | 70 | 97 | 46.4% | 90.4% | 85s · ✨英雄✨ |
| TH12 Cup | 64 | 84 | 62.9% | 94.4% | 57s · Himank |
| TH9 Cup | 80 | 113 | 76.3% | 96.7% | 29s · 雷ZetaKnight✨ |
The speed ladder
Every division crowned a speed king, and the ladder between them is beautiful. Each tier steps up by roughly a clean 30 seconds.
Fastest three-star attack of the weekend, per division
雷ZetaKnight✨ of The Empowered wiped a Savage x BBC base in 29 seconds. That is the fastest attack recorded anywhere this season. For context, the TH18 record of the weekend took more than three times as long, and June still holds the season TH18 best at 94 seconds.
The photo finish
The TH9 lower-bracket final between The MB Empire and PizzaPastaAmore ended 6-6 on stars. Destruction? 100% against 100%. With nothing else left to count, the war went to total attack time. PizzaPastaAmore had cleared their boards in 128 seconds against The MB Empire's 201, and a 73-second stopwatch gap sent them through to the Monthly Final.
That is not a freak occurrence at TH9. 35 of its 113 fought wars finished with stars and destruction dead level, decided purely on speed. That is nearly one in three. The main event produced star ties constantly too (41 of 173 wars), but destruction broke every single one of them: zero TH18 wars this weekend needed the stopwatch.
MVP corner
Every player below took at least four attacks and tripled at least 70% of them:
| Player | Triple rate | Triples | Attacks | Avg destruction |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| ZOOS Kazuma | 100% | 4 | 4 | 100.0% |
| ZOOS GAKU | 100% | 4 | 4 | 100.0% |
| NiMi | 83% | 5 | 6 | 97.7% |
| ICB Nbaskaa | 80% | 4 | 5 | 98.0% |
| CB7 Anakin | 78% | 7 | 9 | 98.9% |
| General X | 71% | 5 | 7 | 99.3% |
The ZOOS pair own the top of the board. Kazuma and GAKU went four for four, with 100% destruction on every single hit. CB7 Anakin brought the volume: seven triples from nine attacks at a 98.9% average, the workhorse of CB7 Esports and their 7-2 run.
June to July: the qualifier is growing
TH18 main event, month over month · teams +28% · players +31% · wars +27%
The main event grew by more than a quarter in a single month, and it was not churn. The same community came back with reinforcements. 61 of June's 79 teams returned (77%), 288 of June's 385 players attacked again in July (75%), and all eight June finalists came back for another run.
The strangest similarity in the data sits at the very top of the upper bracket. For the second month running the upper-bracket final, the match that crowns the number one seed for the Monthly Final, ended 12★-12★ and was decided on destruction. In June it was ZOOS Esports over Golden X, 95.0% to 90.4%. In July it was Enosis eSports over Ice Cream Bros., 90.8% to 88.4%. Two months, two upper-bracket titles, zero stars of separation.
On the anomaly watch: forfeits in the main event rose from 10 to 17 with the bigger field, and the overall triple rate dipped from 25.1% to 23.8%. A 28% bigger field means a longer tail of underdogs throwing attacks at the sharpest defences in the world, and the numbers show it.
Who is through
Enosis eSports swept the upper bracket 5-0 without dropping a war. Tribe Gaming took the long road, surviving the lower bracket and closing it out 12-11 over Carrie Esports. These eight are through to the TH18 Monthly Final on July 25-26:
The Town Hall Cups fields are set too. WompWomp Gaming booked two seats, topping the TH15 upper bracket and coming through the TH12 upper bracket as well.
