Climbed early to 700, and now all I see are x-men and immortal rage. Well, at least the ones I see aren't in my bracket - they would be in the top ten if they were - and maybe the progression reward at 1300 will be reachable this time.

I was sitting 1st with 900 points until this morning but virtually everyone in my queue was worth 14 or less, maybe a juicy 17... A few people have made a move now but I can't see 1300 being achievable without stupid amounts of hops.

Welcome to the death of PvP (player vs player) and the birth of PvSP (player vs subset of players). This is the new meta of these events. You have to choose between 1300 progression reward or easier bracket. BTW I'm in same time slice as you, slice 3. I'm at 945 and have targets from 3 to 16 points now. There should be 20 different end times!!

I saw that, nice push at the end to jump into the top 5! I ended up first with exactly 1200, I'm used to not even making top 10 with that score. I'll probably avoid this slice in Most Wanted, I'm more worried about getting to the Grocket progression reward than actual placement. Probably will jump into slice 4 for that one.
