    First look - decent.

    50person brackets? That's gonna be fun!

    Just saw that. Not sure if it's worth it for me, as I doubt I'll be competing for the top spots.
    I mean, I'd get some ISO and a Heroic Token, aka some more ISO.

    Yeh... I'll be skipping these ones. Not worth the cost since I know I wouldn't get 1st. icon_razz.gif

    50 person brackets? Good. Being gently nudged into a death bracket? Bad.

    I wonder if this will have a shield bug too.

    Did we just get ninja merged? Are Lyrian and I common law married now? icon_eek.gif

    Past elites were unbracketed battle royales right? 50 brackets make it very interesting.

    Will this mark the return of Jose martins (was that his name?) or other people who were at the top of those and we've NEVER heard of since?

    That's what I get for trying to use pwetty formatting on my post, lol.

    Yeah, I updated the post. If you want, I can just copy/paste it over to your thread.

    Second look - naaah...

    You need top2 to, at the price of 50HP, get 2000 ISO (or 1500 ISO + useful 3*).

    We don't know which heroes are in those tokens. Is Daken included?

    Looks like they put my replies in here since you were already formatted. Pretty formatting ftw!

    ROFL! I think we did!

    /looks around for the shifty green-names....

    Lydian? Who? Hrmm.... you know I actually like that one. Nice wordplay there, if not an accidental typo. I'll add that one to my list of aliases. Either way, +1 for you.

    On the other hand, this one really doesn't seem tailored to the veterans.

    A random 3*** cover is not exactly a great deal for a long-term player, and you need to outright win to fully recoup entry costs. For new players, I can definitely seem them biting. 50 person brackets really minimizes the chances of running into someone with a full set of 141s, while not outright handing players an easy bracket win.

    I wonder what the 3* recruit token is all about. How would the odds be?

    I would have prefer that i could choose the 3*, but i guess that's asking too much... icon_razz.gif

    Does it have shield for the event?

    Shields:

    75HP 30mins
    150HP 1hr
    300HP 2hrs


    So far I don't know any of the nicknames in my bracket.

    Same here. Just decided to see what it was like. Not seeing any familiar names yet...and a lot of 85 teams, surprised me so far.

    I only need about a third of the 3* covers as it is - and that assumes Lazy Daken and Sentry are in the packs, which I'm sure they aren't. Nope.

    Shield - Can't tell without entering. I would be shocked if it didn't offer shielding.

    Drop rate odds? From the MPQ Wiki, there are 20 3***s + Golds, so that would make the odds at a flat 5% per character, assuming that no one is restricted from being pulled (no way to tell, no tokens purchasable in the shop to grab info on the token odds).

    It says "all entrants get at least one ""Heroic Cover Pack"". I looked at the event rewards. Bottom gets only 1 heroic cover plus 250 Iso-8. That "pack" is kinda misleading there. It's like a longer LR with an entry fee of 150 HP. 1 heroic cover costs 100 HP for me at the moment. Looks like a sale (daily deal). Normally costs 300. Of course there is the possibility of Iso-8 farming but considering I don't have any worthy 3* characters, I don't think it's gonna be fun.

    Hulk max + Patch max.

    Who should join them, regarding good defence?

    1. Hood 128 at 543
    2. Psy max at 535
    3. Cap max at 355
    4. CMags 115 at 533
    5. Punisher max at 355

    I don't think Cap is much of a help, though yellow + blue helps with rainbow.
    CMags - no one is afraid of him.
    Psy - quick fights, dunno about defence

    Well ****. I'm royally screwed. Got psykopathic in my bracket. Guess that's 150 hp wasted icon_cry.gif

    I wish this was unbracketed, it was fun seeing the masterful shield hopping at the top. Forum play by play was entertaining as well

    Top 2 receive the 3*** token. 2nd place costs you net 50 HP, but wouldn't be a total waste.
