RIght around 6 million appears to be where the cutoff is heading.
It looks like people really scored like gangbusters for Voodoo, far more than I thought would. I don't think the cut off is going to be nearly as high in round two, but we'll see. Voodoo is arguably the first tier 1 non-repeat attacker in the new format basic arena. This pushes my estimate for Hyperion upward, at least for round one.
We didn't see this to the same degree in the old arenas, but it seems like the higher cutoff percentage (10% vs 5%) means the highest scoring people tend to push the first week higher when the scores are really high, but then many of them drop out in round two causing scores to lower. More people getting him in round one means less need to get him in round two. Quake, Ghost Rider, and Mordo exhibited that pattern. I'm curious to see if Voodoo follows that pattern, or if so many people want him that even the larger cutoff percentage isn't enough to exhaust the number of high scorers.
I anticipated as much because of the Android issue. I have yet to make a prediction for Round 2. I'm leaning towards lower, but haven't given it much thought yet.

You saying Hyperion will be high as well?
I'd say it will be up there, yes. No predictions yet.
I did 5.7m, would have made it if I didn't slack on the first day, and miss one run on the final day, fault on my end.
Next one's coming soon, I won't make the same mistake of slacking this time. Going to aim for 12m to be safe, as what Dorky Dave would say, it's a revenge attempt now.
Prior to this week I was betting that Hyperion would be the highest score among the near up-and-coming basics. I knew Voodoo would be in demand, but I didn't guess he would be in such high demand that people would actually take off work to grind for him, which appears to be anecdotally the case: looking at the in-depth scoring the top scorers pushed for Voodoo about 15% harder than Mordo in week one.
Hyperion could be even higher, because while I think Voodoo is a better attacker, Hyperion is that very rare champion that is considered *both* a top tier attacker and a top tier defender. I was guessing 5.5 for Hyperion but I was also guessing 5.2 for Voodoo, plus or minus 500k (because participation swings the scores by about that much). WIth Voodoo going for 5.9, I think Hyperion has a decent chance of breaking 6 million.

@Cedriccc, did you submit your score? If not, please do so. You might be the cutoff

I'm loving Dr Voodoo Thank you Kabam for the arena I have Android but I managed to bearly make it and I got him
5,91
Poor guy, Missed voodoo by ONE FIGHT.
@Cedriccc No need to put rank then. Enter score and choose reward. Many don't submit rank
That has happened to me before. I missed War Machine by less than 3k points. It sucks to be that guy.
Anch'io. Well.. 7.06 or something.
