Analyzing the "Combined Multiplayer Program" rewards

Depending on how bad the RNG is the market should be flooded with the BR quality Diamond Quest rewards. Bazzana and Schultz in particular should be great cards. I get this doesnt help the people who feel like playing online will feel less rewarding, but good cards being spread throughout the game instead of just attached to WS/Flawless is a huge step forward

So if I am thinking about this right, last year in a 6 week period we had:
2 WS Rewards
1 mediocre ranked card (or was it 2?)
2 BR cards
12 Collection fodder cards (with a couple standout cards that were useful in rare occasione)
6 event cards that almost universally called 'mid'This year it looks like the cycle will be 4 weeks
2 WS Cards
2 Flawless Cards
2? Weekend Classic cards
4 reward path cards (which are so far better than what we would see as event rewards)Other than the lack of BR collection fodder I would say we are getting more cards in 2025 (depending on schedule), but Im assuming we can only get one WS/BR/WC per cycle (starting with the second) without using market unless we are good to great at the game. No different from last year in that regard.

Don't be so sure there isn't anything to events,they very carefully navigated back to the event screen(and even mentioned got to be careful) I think there is something there in events that they didn't want to reveal.

I noticed this the whole stream that they were very cautious not to move to quiuck or even hit the back button. There is something they are not ready to reveal.
Hopefully later today we find out what that is

No apologies necessary.
Well done recap. -

Isnt the first game of BR free?
Right! Forgot about that ...
-
I feel like the careful navigation was more to protect something on the home screen. Top collection reward or something, nothing to do with events

8,000 Stubs (not subtracting the 1,500 stubs you'll spend on BR. I'll boldly assume you can get 1 hit in 1 entry)

One more thing … about this „gatekeeping“. Remember the 23 twelve-win-rewards in Events. You could not get the cards other than the market (or go 12-0). Those rewards were the scarcest we had all year … and a few cycles later, you could get this card.
I stand by this: You should not get every card very easily and at once, if you‘re not good at the game. This makes the best ones happy.
You should be able to get the cards … maybe later. This should make everyone happy.
I am not that good to go flawless, but I like that the goons have something to play for and be happy. -

And the power creep means waiting a month is not relevant. If you cant get 10-0 in the first place than an 87 when 89 is the top card is still going to be perfectly fine for you to use.
Theyve also finally started to put BR quality cards in offline modes, which is a huge step forward too. Cant hang online? Grind those cards and sell em to buy the online ones.
