Let's look at the previous 6 champion chase and summon rush events shall we:
If you are looking specifically at Summon Rush, then with the exception of 2150 for Versulf's second milestone, every other recent event has been around the 3000 to 3500 mark. Infact, Sigmunds 3000 mark for the second milestone is technically on the lower scale.
You can also see that every Champion Chase is pretty consistent too, at around 1150 for milestone one, and 2500 for milestone two.
In other words, for each upcoming event you can get a rough estimate on what to expect. If you think that it'll be around the 2000 mark then I think you should reconsider
That's only half the picture, though. More importantly - you're usually able to get the required points from either champ chase OR summon rush. And usually, I get them from champ chase, because I save up fusion champs to summon during champ chase for free points.
This time around, you had to either get the 3000-point summon rush OR win a tournament. And winning tournaments is almost out of the question for FTP players.
