So in my season I have consistently ranked inside top 25.shield training too is inside top 25 yet overall I am about 70 for the season.
To be 70th in season means you finished on average 14th in the PvP events which seems to tie up with your consistent top 25 ranking. Seems to me your in about the right place.
Season brackets hold 5000 players, event brackets only hold 500, so you have 10 times as many to compete with in the season.
Gotcha thanks
Also don’t forget about the Shield VS that is ongoing through the season as well.
