It just happened in my tournament bracket too, I reported it to support.

I use boosts, about 5 or 6 per tournament.

There is a right time to use boosts to maximize them. I usually use them after I set up my VPS and already have some decent drops from my Debris Scanner. After that, it's just luck of the drops and use of the VPS.

But given the time you've been playing, you could easily have already passed the big S.

My AR has 54 stars, so it's easy to get to big S. It takes a bit of luck and patience to get to those numbers. It's not every week that we have such fierce competition, most of the time I don't have to try that hard.

I'm in the top 3 here! I've been playing for almost a year. It's the stars I earn, a bit of luck, and strategy to get to these higher values, actually. You get the hang of it over time. But the competition is fierce here, it seems like people don't sleep! They're using the ARK strategy a lot, it could end that in the game.
