Really? Is that why the only major event Cygnar has won was a Hardcore tournament where the scenarios were perfect for a Kraye list (plus the fact that Kraye is a rare caster to see on the table and probably caught some people off guard)? Menoth hasn't placed in anything as far as I know. Cryx mops up quite frequently. No faction is better than the others, but Cryx is the closest to being "first among equals" in that they have almost no bad choices. Cygnar does extremely well in the leagues, because they have the best organization on the boards and the league special rules frequently give them a super awesome model (GMCA Jr., Gravedigger, the new Master Gunner) and 2-3 extra points to spend.

Out of the Warmachine factions, Cygnar probably has the most lemons (everything trencher, longgunners, GMCA, etc) and quite a few choices that are a tad expensive, but on the other hand can utilize mercs with impunity. Really, choosing Cygnar is like choosing Cygnar and Highborn, since the factions have so many overlaps (hell, even the new Cygnar caster and jack for Wrath is shared with the mercs).

It happened, don't ask me how.

Fair enough, that only serves to reinforce my point that Cygnar is hardly walking away with tournaments left and right.
