if reckless weren’t in my bracket, i’d be grabbing the blue iw, but… no point wasting my time ![icon_e_wink.gif](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex023/uploads/x505go/original/2X/5/5d51b9f29c53f0863247b0e9a4faa659012932d1.gif) at least i can save a lot of hp this round. if you want first, you’ll need at least 1500 and 10 shields. also, lvl 173 rag fights are a bit slow. ---

I just see that I’m in the same bracket as reckless, emeryt and bloodwars! Truth is that my MMR made each of my fights since the first so competitive that I am too busy dying at the bottom of the bracket and didn’t bother to look at the top ![icon_lol.gif](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex023/uploads/x505go/original/2X/d/df075d9b4a1733c0e2bc1aadb0aa6d547e345497.gif) ---

I have no idea who to run this time. Rags won’t let anyone use red or green, so Patch, Punisher and LT are out. I think I’ll just troll with Hood/OBW until I start my run tomorrow. ---

hulk hood is probably more annoying than obw hood. edit: also i won’t be a huge threat this time out. 1,150 or so. just going for hp and enough to keep my season score from tanking. ---

Just don’t expect to win on defense, run whoever lets you kill fast. If you are taking a break swap in whatever team you feel like. Rags is not going to do you any favors so don’t expect him to. ---

I’ve been running Rags with CMags and Hood and having a lot of fun with it. I’ve also gotten an inordinate number of ~40+ point matches so far, which has made ascent pretty easy (I’m at around 600 points, right now, good for the low teens last I checked). I don’t know if this is small sample size or people not making their pushes yet, but going by the 15 or so people I can see they may be grouping along rosters or mmr or something. Most are in my general area; my top people are all 92nd level; the other people I can see mostly range from maxed 2\* rosters to low triple digit 3\*s. One guy has one 141. I don’t know if that is by design, coincidence, or what. ---

Currently in first in my bracket with 838 pts. But with bubbleboy from Shield in 2nd and still a day left not expecting that to last. Seeing teams of 120+ and fighting the temptation to see how far I can go. ---

I have not entered it yet, so have no idea what to expect bracket wise. All 3 of my nodes already have 85 leveled guys in two, and an 85/141 in the other. So, guessing it’ll be interesting. ---

This question may have been answered elsewhere, but wht is the sense in bracketed pvp events if you can be attacked by people in other brackets? I was attacked by somebody with 928 pts., but since they don’t appear on the leaderboards of my bracket I assume they are in a different one. ---

Brackets are just rankings for prize distribution purposes. This way you divide up the total population of players and they can all get rewards in a better distributed method. ---

This way you divide up the total population of players and they can all get rewards in a better distributed method. Got it. Was thinking they were like sports brackets, where i only had to worry about the 500 or 1000 people in my “league”. Thanks for the clarification ---

Looks like I inadvertently tanked my MMR in Top Gun getting smacked around by Thor so frequently - all I’m seeing in my nodes now are hybrid 1-2\* teams and maybe L70s at the most. I’ve only been attacked about five times and two of those were defensive wins. I’m sitting on about 600 points which seems to good for top 30 for now. Getting pooped on has it’s upside ![icon_e_biggrin.gif](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex023/uploads/x505go/original/2X/9/9da0ce06e62533a4e29efe560c9926ab2566ea47.gif) ---
