    I know it's a blood bath at the top, but how much is needed to get top 100? I just need a Deadpool so top 100 is fine by me

    Really sorry homie, but when I've seen the names in the bracket, I was pretty sure I'd need to step my game up to be top 5 for sure. I usually just try to keep a balance between hp spent / won. I'm not a "pay harder" fan icon_e_wink.gif

    I'm in the bracket with you guys, can't say i'm enjoying it as i'm way outta your leagues!!

    I'm in the same bracket. I swear, if I get 1300 but miss T5...

    its freaking nuts boys. I want to throw an 8hr up later but if I hit 1500 and miss top5, I will throw my phone. I actually just used up all my old +3all boosts today that I had saved for a rainy day since they were retired.

    Hello bean. I saw you when I joined and i knew it was not a good sign that I was at 0 and the leaders were 600 and 700 already.

    Well, 1300 isnt safe. Im sure that 1500 will do it but I dont think I will get there. I have enough 1800+ people queued to get close though.

    It may be horrible at the top, but I waited till 37 hours left to enter (only 2 maxed 2* here) and my bracket has me at better than #50 with only 520 so far. I'm sure it will get heated at the end, but I think I've only even been hit once, and I won. Lucky?

    This is a terrible bracket. I'm going to hit my highest score ever and barely stay top 10.
  • I just hit 973 after a quick sentry shield hop but it's still only 14th. I can barely keep up with the big guns. Just want top 25, slow down people!!!

    I shielded out until the end on 1100 getting storm fully cover - but in wrong build - might hold top 10 with it but probably not.
  • I don't think i've been in such a bad bracket. I dont wanna see how bad the top 10 looks at the end. 10th is 1100 already

    Yes, this is absolutely nuts and sharding can kiss my ****. Everytime I check in, everyone below creeps up rught behind. Stop it people. I hope #6 has lost his will bc everyone else will keep moving up if needed at this point.

    I'm in the same bracket. It's crazy. I've watched the scores get steadily unattainable.

    No luck necessary. Your roster is relatively underdeveloped so you will be placed in an easy bracket no matter when you join. Farm as many covers as you can and enjoy it while it lasts

    My deadpool is currently 1/1/1.with the tat reward and 1100 reward in the dp tourney, he is now 3/1/1. Top 5 in this tournament would get me to 5/2/2. Top 10 would get me 4/2/2 but save me 300-500 hp in shields. The next tournament in either case would get me to a 5/3/3 deadpool. Just a thought for people in similar situations thinking about pushing for top 5.

    I don't want to keep going but I'm pot committed and I keep getting passed up. Someone out of the 6-7 of us is going to be REALLY tinykittied

    My 'gently nudged' bracket - no absolute crazies though -
    1 - 1513 (with only 3 lvl 166 - C.Mag/Hulk/LT... damn wondering how Ham159 of 5DV did it)
    2 - 1482 (only LDaken and LThor at 166... next best is Punisher at 114 and Patch at 98... hmmm... is there a working hack out there?)
    ...
    5 - 1323
    6 - 1295

    This aint no fun...

    ...got passed again and put into 5th. I see another run or 2 in my future
  • When you see somebody shielding 20+ times, it makes you wonder if they have more money than brain cells. I'm sorry but that's insane.

    Yup. It's elite tourney mentality without the elite level rewards!

    There are so many things I'd rather drop HP on than excessive shields. The buy-in PvPs keep showing up so they must be performing well. Give me a buy-in single map PvE to grind for 12 hrs. on a Sunday and you'll get my 150 HP so fast your coin purse will have bruises.

    Two please - one from noon to midnight CET for us Euros, and another one from noon to midnight EST for Murica.

    I don't usually go hp negative but I got nickled and dimed into my situation. Even now it isn't too bad as it's essentially been shield hopping. Just more aggressive than usual. It's not like I could have bought the Deadpool cover in shields.
