Player A has 9 MVPs in 53 games played:

Player B has 1 MVP in 37 games played:

is there any explanation for this other than freak randomness?

The fans obviously like the pretty elf more than the big ugly troll. Easy.

OK, so they like the Orc team as a whole better than the elves (and who can blame them, elves suck). But they dislike that one player. It all makes sense to me.

But as far as the actual rules are concerned it's just random right?

Considering you had to even look up different teams, the statistical outcome is almost impossible to evaluate. Or if evaluated considering the sample size of existing players to choose from, to find one with higher or lower MVP in a similar amount of games seems incredibly likely.

If it would be on the same team, it still would be well within what is to be expected from random results.

I'm a troll hater. Monkeys are difficult however. I have a suspicion, that there actually is no troll blood in Monkeymen. Which is very Sad, very very sad.

Monkeyman could drink troll blood to have some in him... though doing so, there is a danger some random troll part will regenerate inside his stomach...

The odds aren't really that hard to calculate. If you have a 12 man team the chance of a particular player getting mvp x times in y games is (1/12^x)* (11/12^y-x) * y!/(y-x)! if I'm not mistaken.
