Just because you had more assets, doesn't mean you won more territory.
This crude picture shows Vikings have 1% more assets than Knights, but knights still win more territory.
A star means they won that territory.

The faction territory map is more strategic than you think, and randomly placing assets could cause you to lose that round.

this how Knight won
So we have
The open beta should've ended at 5 PST and not EST.
They didn't apply the rules they set at the start to decide the winner.
They gave the CBT reward to everyone and not only to the victors.
They didn't end the round like they did for the CBT.
Well vikings you got truly ****ed overGG to knight for crying so much they got the victory handed to them lol.

Not sure why people constantly ignore the Samurai's effort throughout the beta. During the Open Beta, the Samurai were dominating during the first 3 days and well into the last day when you go by the average number of territories controlled. (Which you can clearly see in the picture) The Knights would then be a close second, followed by a close third with the Vikings. However, taking the average number of territories controlled as the final score (which would accurately represent participation in the Faction War) makes no sense to Ubisoft. Instead, they only use the last period before the season ends. The system is prone to cheese from purposeful non-participation in the couple of rounds prior so that you lose multiple zones. As it stands, to win the Faction War, you want to have about 16-19 zones controlled before the last round because its incredibly easy to gain 7+ zones when your resources are not spread thin. A point accrual system based on how many territories you control at the end of each round would be far better than the last second zerg rush that we have right now. As it stands now, there is no point to actively participating in the Faction War by strategically deploying War Assets as it does not matter what you do until the last round. I am sorely disappointed by the pointlessness of the current version of the Faction War. Great Job on that one Ubisoft.
The other way to decide this would be to take the original way that Ubisoft claimed they would decide the victor, which is by total War Assets. In this case, the Vikings would have won. The Knights having the victory makes everyone feel cheated since by all accounts, they did not win.
