You know what bro, it's a tough call. These are my thoughts but don't hold me responsible lol.

I think it looks like it's gonna be inflated due to Sludge 6 being released on the second day and now Snarl 6 is out on the third day but I think this it totally to do with the nature of the space bridge. The space bridge has put a sharp divide between the deck power of the haves and the have nots. So some of us who were willing/able to spend have high deck power. I have 19954 deck power right now (be a gentleman and don't ask me what I spent please). That means that I have been able to 1 cube everything up to Level 2 Swoop, as well as been able to ensure Sludge and Snarl 6 have gone down with no more than 3 cubes spent (they are rare so it hasn't hurt me too much). I've had nearly 3 days of comfortable farming meaning I have a lot of energo and a lot of cubes and a lot of discretion of what I choose to kill. Almost everyone in the top 50 probably has had the same experience (Check the leader boards and inspect their Leader card for an idea). I think the top player will reach a record 75M points for number 1.

However I think the truth is the cut-off for top 100 will be about the same as previous episodes, between 30 and 35M. This is because for a lot of players currently in the top 100, their decks aren't as strong, and probably relatively weaker due to power creep of the bosses than they were last episode. Anyone lucky enough to get 1 half of X10 Shockwave has a card roughly equal to a MTM Sideswipe last episode. However the X5 and X3 are abysmally weak this time, and not being able to guarantee an MTM X5 and MTM X3 for roughly $30-35 like in previous episode has really hurt the deck power of the majority of players.

So in short, the top score shall be inflated, but there will be larger point gaps between players down to rank 100, which will be roughly the same as previous episodes due to a greater variation between deck power.

This is all speculation. I could be wrong. Add me as an ally, I will try and help out where I can.
