For any T2 players trying to go to T1 please read this. For the most part I am a low paying player. I would spent for 1 or 2  pulls of the SB and did the occasional 3rd pull if the rates were cheaper than $10. This being said, the average player has NO chance to get to T1 status. I tried an experiment to see how far I could go on this new system which is much better than the old format now we have rubies.

Here is what I tried. I started with a deck of 13.5K and over 1000 cubes. Played long enough in the current event to get MTM prowl on first two pulls of ruby rewards. Now I had a respectable deck so I went for the SB and got 2 MTM Red alert and 1 Tracks Bot. After the 2 mil mark I now had 3 MTM Red Alert and MTM prowl with DP of 18.8k. I then tried to MTM Tracks and got 6, YES 6 more bots in a row. Maybe if I had 3 bots and 3 Alts this would change things, but reality is NO.

To be T1 you need the following. Time, money, cubes, and good luck. As for time, I was on the app all day except the time I slept, even waking up after 3 hours to use my hourly cubes. After close to 4 days of the event I ranked 150-200 entering the last 2 days. At the time of this posting I was at 5.9 mil points and 175 rank. Most would think this is progress and I have a good shot at T1. WRONG! I was over 5 mil behind the 100th spot and gone through over 400 cubes. This was double my point total just to get to 100, let alone maintain it.

I give a lot of credit to the top tier players. The amount of money, time, and dedication is unreal! I learned many lessons this episode. First, the importance of T1 players as allies and proper protocols for keeping them as a top ally. Without them, your only shot at T1 alone is a deck full of MTM x7 raid cards and some red bull. The amount of time to place in the top is amazing. People on here can call out cheaters and hacks, but even if you had unlimited funds, you still have to put in the time to get the points. Having a bad azz deck is just the start.

In summary. If your not willing to give up large amounts of money and time, just be happy trying for T2 and enjoy the game. I had more fun being a low paying to free player than the one try at T1. The stress, TIME, and money for me does not equal the satisfaction as just being casual and getting second place. It's a good feeling to place second and know you can take that hard earned money and buy that masterpiece acid storm. Yeah, its cool and worth every SB I passed on. But also happy to try for T1 and share my experience.
