Actually people who don't make it to the final prize rounds really don't earn many more tickets then people who didnt get to compete at all. Also just outright cancelling all champ warfare is a bit of an over reaction when there are still 2 of them working fine.

Missing maybe 1 adamanti card due to less tickets isn't going to make or break anyones progress. Unless you can compete for the top 4 spots, doesn't seem much difference from only betting to making it through to day 2 of the knockout tourney.

Yes I'm in the tourney at knockout round 5 and have another server toon just doing bets, not even the prelims, to see the difference. So far its 1 adamanti card.
