I sat there refreshing those last 30 seconds just hoping you didn't finish that match on time. I had lost track of time and actually had to retreat out of a simulator match when there was 3 mins left and frantically got that last fight in. We were in a pretty crummy bracket with I think 3 people over 1100...

The Ladder wrote: Looks like the Elite style shield/break shield/cram matches/shield routine is now required to do well in standard events too. I had pretty comfortably won a couple of recent brackets with an early morning push one day out/full day shield, but no such luck this time. Still, top 5, that was the main aim before the event and net 400hp cost for three 3* covers is decent enough.

My biggest threat was a low MMR guy who admittedly had a lvl 90+ Mk.40 who remained unshielded and relatively untouched in the 800+ range. Meanwhile my relatively squishy lvl 69 Mk.40 was getting gangbanged every time I was unshielded - you know your MMR is borked when you're match made with walkyourpath... Going to continue tanking the LRs and focus on the PVE while I take a breather from what was a very anxious round of double shot.

I luckily landed in a much softer bracket for round 2 - the last round I had to burn way too many shields, while weaker rosters ran unshielded for most of the tourney. I'm sure the Simulator effect is impacting Round 2 just like it did the end of Round 1. Just need to pick up the win here to close out my IW, and then figure out some sort of ISO Ponzi scheme to get enough ISO to actually max her (I've been giving her a level for every 3 I give Patch).

I needed to do more tanking to have favourable conditions as my mmr. All I am seeing is 141 teams. I expect a flurry nearer the end but hoping a few players will be tapped out of resources from the simulator.
