Walkyourpath admit that he spend 2100-2200HP to get to 1st, also I believe that first 10 people could spend something similar. So 50% more on shields - let say to get to top 3 it would cost you 3000HP. 4-10 places - 500HP and 15000 iso reward. Iso is nice but to be honest you pay about 2500HP on shields - 500HP reward = 2000HP for 15000 iso (better price then in iso/HP shop). Is it worth - imo no but you must ask yourself that question. And to be in top 10 you have to be a hardcore player and you have to sacrifice a weekend for a game. Ofc you get bonus iso for playing but you can get bonus iso for playing in every other event so I no calculated it here On the other hand this event is nice for casual players which could get a Heroic token and 500iso just for joining. Personaly I won't join but wish you all good luck and a fair fight for top prizes

Wolfman, if you still lack 2* covers are are up for spending 300hp, do yourself the following favor: Buy 1 heroic token every day for 100HP on the daily deal. You'll end up with 3 tokens after 3 days (length of tourney) with 0 worry about "placing" NOTE: As always, if you are a Freebie player, always use hp for rooster spots until you are over 20. Worry about covers after you have solid room setup.

I wonder if you could build an early lead, shield for 24, unshield, fight one or two, then shield for 24, then unshield, fight one then shield for the remainder. Can one of our forum game theorists / economists calculate the value proposition of this? For normal tournaments a score of 650 pretty much guarantees a top 50 placement, right? So I wonder, what's the magic number to guarantee break even point?
