From Bero's stream.
R4s as far as the eye can see.
Hopefully one of these dudes who whale out like there's no tomorrow can win C1, they deserve it.

I played two matches today and both accounts had 10+ R4s.
At least with something like Magic The Gathering the top people spend $100k+ a year on it, but the top prizes also involve actual cash.
Here it's like $100k a year (or $20k or $60k or whatever) and the top prize is radiance, which is like useless when you spend that much money anyway.
Behold
So then you look at all these decks with 10, 12, 15 R4s, and knowing how much money that cost, and knowing that the radiance reward won't even buy you a single R4, you have to wonder what is the actual motivation.
Just to feel like a winner when you crush someone with less shameless rosters?
Does that make these people feel like winners?
To each their own I guess...
the mode predominantly rewards knowledge and execution.
He made it to like C3 this season but stopped playing after the J4 sale because he knew the rosters would become crazy and he refused to spend money himself.
Like he said, there are like 3 or 4 modest rosters in celestial, people like Biz, who have insane skills and can make up for the spending gap.
But the rest, the 95%, have very expensive rosters.
More to the point, however, I think whales (and I honestly hate this term, let's say big spenders) don't really care how bad the deals are.
Sure, the big spenders max out every sales event.
But they're also the ones buying up every in-between sale.
You know, those $50 for 6300 T7B and 19,000 T4A deals we see on random weekdays.
Those 5 7* sig stones for $20 deals.
Look at some of these rosters; you can't compile something like that just with maxing out the sales events.
They are spending 24/7/365. We're talking about tens of thousands of dollars a year.
And that's cool to support the game, but when these rosters take over BG, they also change the competitive ecosystem of the game.
They raise the financial threshold of competition.
So are they "ruining" the game?
In some ways, I think yes.
Anyway, it was cool when I was participating in these sales, but I decided to skip this one entirely just as an experiment for myself, and now I see how it's a huge problem.
Call me a hypocrite.
Or call me a prodigal son.
Let's not focus on a single player please.
That was not my intent.
Haha. Funny to see a rant from your side.
This is not new, happens after every sales event. Competitive f2ps have stopped ranting on sale events. Nothing they say will change whatever kabam has decided.
People were expecting 8 r4s. 2023 July deals actually broke the economy. They are never going to let it happen again if you ask me.
I saw someone said they bought every single offer and can r4 7 champs. So that honor is reserverd for sweaty megalomaniacs dropping thousand dollars weekly.
Stopped pushing for a reason. Me as a f2p have played in top 30 aq for an year. It was surprising at one time that I had the higest prestige in the ally. But that's not possible in this aggressive monetized era.
Don't really care about the game or the whales or the pros or the noobs or anyone else. Got a small little circle that have fun together.
Enjoying the game on my alt account doing all old stuff and rebuilting. The journey is fun. Buying out everything is never going to be fun.
Keeping the passion alive and occasional rants about whalelocked normal champs not trophy champs that eveyone loves.
Oh you mean this guy?
The state of battlegrounds post heat wave sales is fine
Winning nonstop LOL
