    Slice 4 vet is up to 832. Don't think it will fill before the event ends.

    Now that the servers are back up, any update? I am hoping a bunch of people joined for the last day and I don't have to wait until 30 minutes before it ends to join.
  • It's at 847. It will not fill up. I think I can put that at a near-certainty at this point. It's gotten slower, and it would have to increase to more than 15 people per hour for the next ten hours just to fill right at the end.

    I think it is a game of chicken, and a lot of people are waiting to see that others are joining before they join. Closer to the end, people will cave in just hoping to get some points. I expect a new bracket to open in the last hour, with a mad dash for the finish line. Or not, and I will join the bracket at 999 players.
  • Any updates on time slices?

    Or other people realize it won't fill and have joined other brackets already.

    There really is no point to joining a bracket that's at 800 players and 2 days stale. You're better off joining slice 5 with 350~ players.

    Are you sure you are in the vet brackets? You're either a noob or delusional about this bracket filling.

    Slice 4 vet is now up to 865.
  • So it's either slice 4 or 5 at this point...

    Everyone is eyeballing 4, but how is 5 doing?

    I wonder if they have multiple brackets open at once.

    I bit the bullet for you so that one more spot is filled in this bracket. At #877 with just under 3 hours to go.
