I am not trying to be snarky I honestly don't know how many 10-20 member alliances there are or how high any 5 man teams managed to place in the last event. The hulk event gave out Lazy Thor covers to the top 6666 in unbracketed play. I know this is not a direct comparison because solo scores are running chances for covers as well but if only the top 250 Alliances get a cover that is at MAXIMUM 5000 people. True they are throwing a lot of HP around also, and I admit that would be nice but I can take it or leave it, all that would matter to me is if I am shut out of cover range or not.

The only way to know that is if members from an alliance ranked 100 - 250 chimes in here with alliance size and points. Even then, that doesn't mean that a 5 person alliance has a chance at the cover, because it's still day 1 of the event, and other larger alliances may still have players who haven't made point contributions yet. So it is an assumption either way by saying a 5 man can or can't get a cover.

Pulling numbers randomly if the average size of the top 250 is merely 7-8 (some up at 15-20, most smaller than that, many at size 5) then there are now only ~2000 global blue covers being handed out. Which is a much smaller pool. The Elite alliances should have an easy time getting theirs but if 5 man teams are in fact in the running, the competition between those at that level is going to be unbelievably fierce.

I'm not following your reasoning. In the last Hulk event, there were 6666 green covers given out, but only 3333 red and only 1000 yellow (or maybe it was some other way around). Yellow covers are awarded to the top 75 of each 1000-person bracket, so 7.5% of all players. If the same 100k people who played Hulk play Simulator, that's 7500 yellow covers. Similarly, red is given to 5% of all players, so 5000. Blue is given to the top 250 alliances, so minimum 1250 covers. Looks to me like they're giving out more covers across the board.

Psylocke and Daken are like bread and butter... or something clever, I don't know. Especially with Modern Thor, too bad he and Psylocke won't be buffed together.
