Objective : To determine which side (Blue or Purple) has a high winning rate in North American LCS Robin Round 2013.

Method : Calculate the numbers of wins in each side using data provided by leaguepedia http://leaguepedia.com/wiki/Riot_League_Championship_Series/North_America/Season_3/Spring_Round_Robin

Data :

Blue Side Wins : 66 matches (59%)

Purple Side Wins : 46 matches (41%)

Discussion : Despite the lane switch strategy employed regularly in NA LCS matches, blue side enjoys a staggering win rate of 59% (66wins/112matches). This staggering difference may also indicate that the stronger teams are given more chances to choose blue side(IE : TSM played most of their games @ blue sides and won most it) , thus distorting the win rate of blue side even more.

Conclusion : Blue Side has a higher winning rate (59%) than purple side (41%) in North American LCS Robin Round 2013.
