While the Supports Circuit times are still not good for me, I found one that was tollerable enough to go for t50 in so I could get an extra vault token.
After the initial clears, I found myself in 3rd place. That changed things. All of a sudden I was in contention for t3 and a guaranteed Advanced Support Token. 3rd place was mine to lose. I spent too much of the day figuring out how best to time my final clears.
When the late rush came around, I couldn't wait any longer. I started 1 minute earlier than planned figuring it wouldn't amount to any additional points. That turned out be crucial as I finished my 7th clears with under a minute to spare and seeing myself in 1st place. Now to wait while someone passes me, but I get my t3 finish... or do I?
Event ends and I finshed 1st place!!! Master Support and 3 vault tokens. I didn't even realize 1st place got 3 tokens because contending for it had never crossed my mind. I wish I could finish with great draw results, but the vault tokens got me 2× 2*s and 500 riso and the Master Support I am saving for a future cycle.
In the Behold Thanos PVP, I was running the extremely serious team of Thanos, Spider-Ham (0/1/1 Lv74) and 1* Spider-Man against the seeds and was rewarded with my first Bag-Man cover of the year. The timing couldn’t have been more appropriate
One important thing to note about this new Vault - unlike a lot of our other Event-based Vaults, which end and come back later with any unopened Vault tokens preserved, each 4-week long Support Circuit is unique. Like any Stockpiled tokens, players can still redeem unopened Vault tokens after the 4 week period ends, but those tokens will not carry over to the next Support Circuit vault.

As a follow-up, today's moment of the day was getting a defensive win with the above team.
Random Classic pull got me the yellow I needed to fully cover my 5/5/2 Eddie Brock. Namor, Taskmaster, and Spider-Ham are now my only three 4* who aren't fully covered.
Another Basic Support token from the Namor and Friends vault, this time I got a onestar Yaro Root. I hear good things about it, so that was nice.
Yea I just pulled that yesterday to prove - to my shock - that there is actually such a thing as non-dupe supports. Levelled it up and stuck it on my God Doom (since he's still boosted, and I'd prefer to use Doom over OML anyway).
I hit my 3-stars just right so that leveling up four of them got covers for their 4-star feeders. Thanos, Rocket and Groot, Hawkeye and Hood all hit level 183. That was followed by Prof X's champ level getting an LT, as he hit LVL 290 thanks to our Alliance's progression in Sinister Six event.
I got the personal LT from Sinister Six less than 9 hours after event opened, after the nodes re-opened for the second time (5pm Pacific west coast). Then when I got up this morning to do another round of clears to help my Alliance get the Alliance LT...we'd already gotten it! We finished Sinister Six in less than 24 hours of it opening. Either our Alliance has gotten A LOT stronger, or you guys nerfed this one up the wahoo. I'm going to toot my own horn and go with the former
Oh, I have a twofer. (I don't seem able to edit my previous post, or I'd have added this there.)
The Namor & Friends' Vault closes today. I've already been buying 100HP tokens when they were available, so this morning I'd already pulled 21 prizes from the Vault, including the LT and a Mordo cover. Somehow I'd acquired 3 Namor Tokens over night so I redeemed them this morning but got nothing of significant value.
I then bought one last 100HP token...and got Namor's Black cover!!!
He's now covered at 2/3/3, and is my only non-Limited 4* not yet at 209 or higher.

Had a handful of LTs yesterday from various sources. Cashed them in looking for my first GE Doom cover; he still eludes me, but I did end up getting Fatpin #13 so I champed him. That's two 5-star champs in a week after I finished Cable a couple days ago. Feels pretty good. I like Cable, but not sure Fatpin will see much use. Still, it'll be nice to enjoy him when he's boosted to god-mode in PvE while he hangs out in the latest three.
Now if I can just get a GE Doom cover I can go back to hoarding LTs.
After not having 5* Kingpin for the last 2 essentials and going on an 0-25 streak in LL pulls, I finally pulled my green Kingpin as well as a yellow cable now 2/2/1, and a black GED, which now leads me to have every 3/4/5 rostered. Looks like I can hoard for the next 2 5*s once Kingpin and Cable rotate out.

That applies to the Vault tokens, not the Support tokens themselves. At least that is my understanding.
I Got:
2* - 1
3* - 7 + 2 BHs
4* - 2
The 4*s weren't great (a MrF. Black [now 0/1/5] and a Miles champ level), but I LOVE that distribution.
I would buy all sorts of 10-packs if I could get spreads like that every time.
Enjoy your weekend off (from MPQ), everyone!

I would contact Customer Support about that.

Not quite what I’d like but it’s a start.
