Since PGI don't post total # of participants I'd thought we'd post here what you ended up on after your first or first couple of matches and it might give an indication at least.

I ended up at #92 after my first match last night.

Since I'm Euro there weren't many last night but once US prime time started I fell fast.

0 because I do not participate in any MWO weekend events. Although I have no prorblem getting 600+ damage a game in my Yen-Lo I have no desire to waste my weekends jumping through hoops for PGI.

Oh look, another "I'm uberleet in this mech, but have "reasons" not to show you" post above me. LOL.

Anyhow, started at 101, have gone steadily down from there. 234 now, I think.

My Medium MM Elo is on the downswing (20 matches, 1 win, only 3 that weren't 12-2 or 12-1 stomps.... and the one win was one of the stomps, lol. Most matches I got the only kill for our team).

But when I jumped into my Ilya (heavies being something I almost never play on this acct anymore) the MM has been much kinder with 30 or so matches mostly wins, and probably only 25% stomps one way or another. Went to bed at 33rd in it, dropped to 57th since then.

Ah well, not playing for the scoreboard this weekend, don't have 4 days to glue myself to the keyboard, skip showering, etc to prove I'm the "bestest at da videogame" (which I'm not, anyhow, lol). I'm here for the doubled cbills. My bank acct was getting a bit close to overdrawn.

I agree with him bishop. These tournaments are stupid, it should stop tracking your matches after the first 15 matches or so, so that it isnt a grindfest. If I had time to play 100 games I could probably get 10 that are 900-1200 damage. But the scoring system will drop the 0 kill 1 assist 67 damage game where I got one shotted, and all of the mediocre games where I scored a kill or two and 350 dmg.

Most of our 'champion' pilots, while skilled, grind like crazy to get the position that they have. Grinding tournaments are stupid.

They should also add 1v1s between all the top 20...

The point was not to show your skill or lack of skill therefore I said first match. After your first match you are going to be low on the list since they add upp instead of calculating average of ten matches especially if you are late to the party. The point was to get a rough estimation of how many Yen-Lo Wangs that are participating in total.

I could give a crap less abotu the leaderboard. It's the smarmy "oh I rip off 6oo dmg in every match, I'm so good" BS.

As for the event? Who gives a crap? I'm not playing for the leaderboard. But if I run one of these mechs, I get 50% more earnings. With premium, I double my earnings. So since I own them, it's a good time to dust them off, because why not? Heck, I even rediscovered that my Ilya can be pretty fun!

Would I buy a Hero just for this? No. Will I sit glued to my keyboard all weekend for the grand prize of epeen? No.

But I also am not doing the passive/aggressive posts bragging about how good I am.

My first match with a Pretty Baby had me a 196. Which was a shockingly high number.

shocking there are that many Pretty Baby's in MWO, you mean?

[Ovion]

I don't have a Yen Lo, but I've done all of 4-5 drops in my shiny new Ilya (my only 4-5 matches) and I've not done amazingly well there.

On that, I'm 1,064.
What I can do to sort of help, is drop once in my TDK and X-5 to get the numbers for those to help too.

[Elizander]

I get decent earnings from my 3x AC/5 2x LL Ilya, but I prefer to level ON1-chan this weekend.

I'm currently at 1,626 on my YenLo and 743 on Pretty Baby.

Oh I agree with you, but that guys post implied he hated the event style, not this thread. To be fair IDK why he was posting that here, but I agree with both of you I guess? **** this forum!

[Ovion]

In my TDK, I did... poorly (came out of cover on the wrong side of a Direwolf and Wubbolt), still at 701.
I did alright on my X-5 run, so it's 849.
Ilya as above is 1,067.

Yeah. Way more than I thought. Although I was 49th on my third match and I'm still on the board even having not played it since Friday.
