One big question which I ask all games,,, and I hope you can answer honestly OP.

Is money required to be good at this game? As in, do you have to pay for stuff like upgrades or currency to be able to get the best characters/items? Because when you talk about $6000 tournaments where you have $1 entry fee, it sounds good,,, but if I know I must compete with players who got 10x better equipment because they bought it, then it become pointless.

P2E games have a bad habit of doing this. Buy more crypto for more chances to get better and rarer items or breeds.
