    So does the forum think that extreme death brackets are about to be the new norm? The massive injection of HP is gonna allow a bunch of players the opportunity to buy covers/ health packs / slots. I suspect that there will now be ALOT more Sentry / hood / xforce . I mean honestly how many shields can you buy with 15000 HP?

    LOL

    I think you are more likely to see 5 cover She-Thor about.

    Yeah, I had a busy day at work today, so I'm just kind of taking it easy. I'll get passed here soon.

    This is why I never play a pvp event just as it's launched because the most competitive people fill up the brackets first. Have fun guys lol hhaha u should've waited a couple of days lol

    I was also in that death bracket (finished 14). We did wait to start. I don't know what you mean by "just as it was launched" because I remember waiting at least a few hours before I started in. This wasn't the bracket loaded with tankers hitting seed teams - it was a bracket that started in a time slot that isn't known for death brackets - that's why I like to start then.

    Looks like all the monsters had the same idea this time.

    I was in that death bracket as well. Got 1351 points for 24th place. Hope to never do that again. Oh, well. I guess I'll have to cry over the X-Force green I got.

    I was so curious, do you recall what wound up being required for top 25?

    I had 1370 with about an hour to go and felt really insecure about being in 20th place with the tiny lead I had so I took 2 matches (and got some defensive points) to finish with 1466 and 14th place.

    (13th place was just over 1500 for those who are curious)

    I thought mine was bad, with top 25 needing around 1.2k.

    You guys really have the death bracket icon_e_smile.gif

    Hehe, yeah. A bunch of us were talking about bad brackets last night in group chat, and I was like "I GOT DIS."

    I shieldhopped for T25. I feel dirty. icon_e_confused.gif

    I started the Lthor tourny with ~3.5-4 hours to go and got into a fresh bracket. I ended up winning my bracket with 1381, but top 10 were all above 1200. That's pretty intense considering the bracket was started so late, lol.

    I got just over 1300 (only wanted icon_wolverine.pnggreenflag.png ) and finished #6. Started at around 5:30pm EST yesterday (Friday)

    Finished 26th with 1306 points and it was not the bracket which is posted here.

    I started with ca. 1d14h left.

    Must be the combination of a buffed lthor and end of the season

    You are not the only one. Top 25 were all very close and I didn't feel comfortable with my 19th position. So I hopped twice more than what I would normally would.

    I finished 2nd with 1608(sked was 1st with like almost 1900) and the rest of my top ten were over 1100, so yeah this one was pretty brutal for everyone.

    This was my bracket also and i am usually a top 15-25 player with 800-900 points. My roster does not quite stack up with the real vets so i am very happy with 2 covers. It ended up as 1500+ For top 10 and my 839 points just made it to #47 with a shield hop....which i had only done once before.....crazy!

    I did not join at the beginning and i still ended up here with my inferior roster.....are you saying i just was unlucky.....i hope so!

    Congrats to all who scored up there though. A good amount of us who usually score well are quite jealous.
