    I had 169,000 at the end of the last round. That's about 10,000 more than I thought I would get, but that 8,000 ISO reward looks tricky.

    Math extrapolates that to 169K * (5.5/3.75) = 247.8K.

    Tricky indeed.

    I have six highly trained tokens and I desperately need a red lazy Thor.

    It's not going to happen...

    Mine is similar, I'm 4th in my bracket with 163808, top is at 166269.

    The crazy buff on Lazy Thor is going to be silly as hell. Mine went up to 189.

    2nd and 3rd at easy/hard bracket...
    and down 30k to the leader who is at ~162800... 2nd sub was completely unplayable for me with too high levels to be able to do anything with my roster so I lost some lazy cap covers there... not like I even want that guy... just need one to unlock essential nodes in next event...

    It's amusing, 5 minutes ago who is online showed 5 people. Now that the sub ended people are pouring in. It's like the pub at 4.59

    Hard is always easier to place top5 than Easy, after securing my place in Easy, went to make a couple of last minute plays in Hard mode. After playing a couple times I was still at 3rd, with less than 2 minutes left on the clock... I was about to give up, and instead I took classic Storm into the Hood battle and intentionally let my team get hit with a flamethrower, for a 1-minute win that put me in 1st

    I feel so good, and so dirty

    So after working out the math, it looks like most people will be 3-5K short of 250K if you're sitting in the 165K+ range.

    So in order to hit the 250K prize, we need everyone to be pushing the hard bracket's rubberband modifier. It looks like the normal bracket will be taken care of by the usual guys with weak roster that faces easy fights, but I suspect even for gusy with weak rosters, hard isn't going to be a cakewalk so it's up to the guys with the good roster to push.

    I wonder what they were thinking with the 300K reward? Good thing I doubt anyone actually needed that.

    Got into Retribution - kinda like it... not the "top 2-3" kind of alliance but definitely up there in "top 10-15" which suits me just fine

    Well, new (final) subs are up and it looks like the winning node character is....

    LazyThor???

    Well, My only hope now is to get a cover or two from the FOUR recruit tokens in the mail.

    That's right. I Top 2-ed my Hard Mode bracket. Easy was Top 25. Four pulls to keep my hope of a 200k red DD cover alive and a finished OBW(fell behind too much in Doom's round for a realistic Cap cover chance).

    ...Crud. Time to appease the RNG again.

    Oh well. At least I don't have to sully my roster with those 3 Hood covers I was holding.
    SELL. SELL. SELL.

    All week I've been looking forward to his turn being powered up. Good luck with your token pulls!

    5th at 160746, probably should have ground out a little bit more instead of leaving points on the table to avoid scaling.

    Top of my braket is colognoisseu at 169644

    Anybody have any tips for round 4? What are some good team to use against these jacked up monsters?
