Options: Add Challenger Series, or Produce More In-Depth Articles?

Some Oracle’s Elixir readers have asked about stats tables for the NA and EU Challenger Series. Others have commented on how much they enjoy the in-depth stats I sometimes share in various articles.

The problem is that if I start doing data entry for the Challenger Series, I will have less time for writing articles. And if I produce more articles, I’ll have less time to keep up with data entry!

I’d really appreciate feedback on which direction readers would like to see me go. Is there more appetite for Challenger Series stats, or for in-depth stats and analysis? What would you rather have?
