Thanks to LoreNYC though for being kind enough to agree to take a top 5 to give me a chance at first and to Beee for not hopping past me at the end. Settling for top 5 when you don't need the covers and there a re people in reach that do is classy.

This one I was in hairydave's (which he posted above) where that wouldn't even get top 5 Top 10 was crazy though, all x-men and 5D apart from myself and 2 others with top 5 @1200. I think Naz might have forgotten that they had shifted finishing times by 1 hour and shielded accordingly which saw him fall dramatically out of the top 10. I'm basically pursuing the same strategy I was in season 3, which is to either make a hp profit or avoid making a loss on hp. Yesterday was a small 75HP profit for me but it's quite scary (and amusing to me) to see how much the bracket leader was spending in terms of HP to win the extra bag lady cover. Said it before and will say it again, sharding makes no difference to me as I don't need 1st place and I only play as far as my budget allows. I just feel sorry for everyone else whom the algorithm decides to punish with the arbitrary sharding.

In the end I kept my position but the guy who was in fourth got booted so sixth. I was watching last hour of event with my friend, tbh it was hilarious to us. Dont want to judge anyone cause I dont know his intentions but it seems more and more like pay to win. Most people were doing shield hopping...half with full BP in their rosters, others needed BP but tbh no idea how they could get so many points with their rosters. 2 place - 166 lvl GSBW, 153 lvl fat Thor, 140 lvl IM (4/4/5), 140 lvl Ragnarok and Cap on 85 lvl. 3 place - 127 lvl Sentry (4/5/4), 127 lvl Falcon, 122 lvl BP (dont remember if it was same lvl before) and 55 lvl Cap (2/2/4). If I will ever saw team like this worth so many points I would be attacking them without thinking... And bout "death brackets"...
