For this white Quick Battle event, my leader is currently magicman689 (by a long shot - 150% of 2nd place) and my rank is X of 521. Anyone else have something different or are there only about 500 people playing? 
Definitely not. There’s a thread about pre-1.3 pvp with tons of different brackets mentioned. I’m 1st in mine with 260 ribbons vs 2nd place’s 206.
1st place with 251, second place has 155.
I am in second place on my shard wit 502 with 1st place 562. That dude must not sleep.
I was in a bracked wher forst had 350 and second had 155. I got third with 150. Now we are all in the same bracket. Im rank 190 with like 42 points.
I have to say I liked the old system better. The cost/opportunity ratio made me play like 30 games because I knew I could get a rare, but now knowing that the same result will not even get me in the top 100 demotivates me… I just feel like not playing at all now.
Yeah, it rewards people who play non-stop.
Brackets seem to be half the size they were.
Brackets are growing! Mine has been steadily increasing over the last few hours and is now over 3000.
My current bracket has like 11k+ players, which is way too many compare to my previous bracket (around 1k)
The rank 1 player has 250+ points already, gosh!
My bracket has now shrunk to under 2000 - what is going on? Are players being moved around? Deleted off the bottom?
I dont know if mine is broken or what. Meeting of the Minds, 5000 people, currently like 600th and top is Bauhaus with 555 points! I have like 75…
Same here hauhaus 555…
I sincerely hope this nonsense will end soon…
Someone in my MPQ facebook group has posted a picture of their bracket which contains 6 people.
