So... 2056 or 1114. Wins 3x regionals/year, typically (if they don't it's an off year and they belong in this thread). 3/60 is 1/20.

Compared to 47, winning 1/3 of regionals (but only winning 2 regionals).

Which is more dominant?



There is a way to make a stronger case for 47 being the best team to never win Championships. Actually, two, but one involves Pink winning the event. 47 was dominant in the 90s, which featured a slightly different type of game than these days. 1v1v1, to be exact. When you factor that in, then you have a much stronger case, because every national or world champion since 1999 has had at least one partner, and usually two. Makes it easier... and harder.
