Went to play one quick game last night, and ended up with a new GC:
I managed to beat all 4 tier 1 battles, but didn't get an opportunity for Planet X. One thing I wasn't sure of though-it's both ramps to light a battle, but what controls whether the tier 2 battle is lit at the scoop after that (in your 2nd+ city)? It seems like in city 1, change city is lit immediately after completing/timing out the mode, and in city 2, you can start a tier 2 monster immediately after beating the tier 1 monster, but is there something you have to do in 3 and 4 that are different? I'd beaten Ebirah in my 4th city, but the scoop wasn't lit for anything. Didn't see a way to qualify it.
Looks like more stats on IC now too. 1.7B isn't a stellar score as far as the top players go, but it's apparently in the 100th percentile?
