Multiple people in my alliance have brackets that were won by people who have barely even started the 2->3* transition Only two 2* rosters in my T20, myself at 16th and another guy at 20th. 18 out of the T20 are an assortment of 166-270. As for scaling, at the end of the second sub my last node was at level 338. Level 94 facing level 338, go figure how that should translate for a 3*.

Did the holidays thing, slept soundly every night, went to see Big Hero 6 with my kids, took the dogs out to poop, exchanged some defective shoes, played WoW and also went out Friday and ground out level 8 in Ingress, etc.. I did get up this morning at 6 to get an early refresh in, but went back to bed. Seems to me the complaints are maybe a little overboard. Granted, I didn't have to work over the holidays. That would suck, sorry for those of you that did. Overall I found it pretty exciting, and rewarding of discipline and planning.

I noticed he was in the frame for top 10 until the final half day then fell back a bit and, well, it's tricky to recover from there and finished 11th. Grats though to Sumilea of SHIELD who won my bracket fairly comfortably in the end. That was painful though. Went to bed at 1.30am after my final 'normal' clear and then a spot of PvP, then up at 3am to grind non-stop until the 5am finish to secure top 10, then a mix of adrenaline and PvP finish time (6am... because I thought it was the one the big scorers would pick - nope), then my son getting up at 6:30am... means I'm in my office after a grand total 1.5hrs sleep at best. Whoop!

If they had been only a few hundred points behind me going into the last 8 hours like at the end of the second sub I have played differently at the end and flopped into the top 5 as there no way I can beat the clearing potential of that monster of a roster.

Fievel wrote: Woo! Ended up getting t50. T10 in my bracket was dominated by big time players. No transitions as far as I could see. Lots of 166+ rosters and members of S.H.I.E.L.D., Immortal Rage, Dormammu U, etc. I didn't really have a chance at T10. I'm just glad I managed to get the one cover while also keeping my sanity and personal life intact.
