I did go after your loaner spidey/fury/iw team at the last minute just to see what points it would give. Hope that 1 point loss didn't hurt you.

Just after I shielded, someone passed me and shielded just ahead of me with 906 points. I then scored 2 defensive wins in 2 minutes to push me to 936 points and back to 1st place, but still with just under 6 hours to go. I went to bed expecting to finish maybe top 10 somewhere, but I ended up finishing in 1st, with pretty much no movement from the entire top 10 (who were all shielded when I went to bed). I expected someone to make a push while I was asleep, but I guess the entire top 10 of my bracket were just happy to stay where they were. Suits me though, not won a PvP for a few weeks so it's nice to get back to winning ways. Funny old game though. In the Storm tourney I scored 1111 and only finished 8th, battling to right near the end. Here I shield with 6 hours to go with 936 points and end up winning. Bizarre!

When I shielded for the night on 906 I was also expecting to fall a lot and was just hoping to get lucky and stay in the top 10 but when I checked this morning and saw I finished 2nd I was really surprised. Usually there are a few late surges from people that push up to around 1,000+ but I guess we got the bracket full of people not willing to break shield and have a late run. Congrats on getting the IW, although I am a little disheartened that you beat me with two defensive victories! I suppose it would have been worse for you had I finished top by 2 points especially shielding a few minutes after you did.

I don't think I ever used fury while tanking in this event, since i bought extra slots to rotate 1*s to tank. And I certainly didn't get as far as IW. Much less both of them together

I'm thinking cleo's 1100+ CStorm + MN Mags team was an insta-hit for basically everyone. Unshielding with it in the last few hours is simply unwise.
