What I find interesting is that nobody is picking up on the statement that the Jumpstart event is now best of 3 and not best of 1. That will add a bit more time to complete the requisite 2 wins per pack combo.

I entered the original event 62 times and then 18 more on the second event to end up at 74% complete on rares before diminishing returns stopped me from trying to finish. That was 80 x 2 = 160 Bo1 games needed to play even at a 100% win rate.

This set is smaller by about 1/3, so I will probably cap out at 52 entries, give or take, before diminishing returns again gets too steep. That would be 104 Bo3 matches. I think that is a lot more games to play. Average for Bo3 is 2.5 games so that is about 62% more games to play for the rewards even though the set is 2/3 the size.

Lucky for me, I like the format.

The best-of-three line is a goof in the article; it's getting fixed.
