These tournaments are pretty cool. They're over quickly.
The anytime tournaments are cool, but they seem to go on forever. Sometimes, entering all of your teams just seems like a chore. These sit and go tournaments only ever have 8 people in them and they only last an hour. I'll admit I had a few people flee on me, which is part of the reason I won.
The prize is only 73.333 DEC, but it only cost 10 DEC to join and it was super quick to play. I'd say it was worth it!
Congrats on getting first. I been playing for over a year now and best I got to was top 20 finish. Even in low rewards tournaments, not anywhere close to 1st like you.
These smaller tournaments are a little different. Only 8 people were able to sign up and a bunch of them didn't submit teams, so I won by default.
Another tournament that just ended, I got 32nd place. That's more like what I usually do.
