Study finds that Red beats Blue in online games

According to a study recently published in the journal Cyberpsychology & Behavior, the eternal battle of Red vs Blue just got a little more interesting. According to the study, which analyzed matches of Unreal Tournament 2004, the red team is more likely to win than the blue team in online games. In fact, the red team won 55% of the time in the 1347 matches that were studied. We'd like to think it's because the Red team has Sarge leading them to victory, but according to Mihai Moldovan, a neuroscientist who worked on the study, the real reason is "most likely that the color red may act as a psychological distractor for men, possibly because men flush and turn red when they're angry."

When reached for comment, Epic VP Mark Rein stated that red and blue are an entrenched part of the Unreal Tournament series saying, "We don't anticipate any immediate changes to team colors."

Red has better spawning? That's probably not it, but the reasons in that paragraph were stupid.

I highly doubt that.

This is stupid. Just because you're on the red team doesn't mean you're gonna be good.

It's just more people win on the red team. There is no explanation for it. Now people are going to think they win every match they play on the red team. They only win 5% more then half the time. No biggie.
