Ben: Winning The Gauntlet is all about fun and impressive bossing. The slow progression made it unique and challenging. Can't beat the other player's bounty, but with some luck, I could have. Uber needed more damage, and the Oasis felt like regular mapping. The campaign was surprisingly easy, and I'm not a big fan of the banding. Overall, a unique experience, and thanks for running the events.
Jung Ron: I didn't clear as much as I wanted, but the challenge was about risk management and dealing with the unknown. The Oasis and red/yellow maps weren't that hard. The constraints on skill gems were frustrating, but playing unique builds gives me a competitive advantage. I don't like class rankings, and my favorite fight was Uber Shaper. Overall, it's always a great time competing.
