Then he comes again for 2 points, so I take 39 off him. Yet again he comes for another 2 points, so I strip 43 off him. At this stage I've got all my points off a seed team and this guy. It makes me sad that he must not even realise what he is doing. Meanwhile, another guy has just attacked me for 5, leaving me another 30 point retaliation match. I don't get why these guys don't just skip these low value matches. Sure it may be an easy win but at a huge net loss, it's totally not worth the grief. Don't get me wrong, I know it's good for me but it's utterly mind-boggling that some people do this.

The vast majority of the player base is far less informed about game mechanics and ideal strategy than even a relatively new forum member.

Not shielding until tomorrow I can only afford a 3 hour one Depending on how many roster slots you have you might want to consider saving that HP for now. This season will still have at least one more PvP event (maybe two, not sure) and SHIELD simulator, so worst case scenario you can shield at the final event to make sure you get 5k. You might run out of roster slots depending on what you get from the 10-pack.

Less than a day to go and they are nowhere to be found! same with 5DV. I normally try and make sure they have all entered before I join but I think they are hiding.. hmm. I'm scared!

Walkyourpath and I are in the same bracket, but I've lost him. He and I apparently took different paths.
