Not like you can buy a skin for 5 tokens

So from the screenie above and other people it appears to be 3 credits per match watched.

That means you have to watch 34 matches for a skin.

I've done the math, if you watched all 34 matches on a laptop in New York the electricity would cost you about $1.50 (much lower pretty much anywhere else, NY electricity is pretty pricy).

So it's really more worth it to watch the matches than to buy the skins

P.s. each match is assumed to be 2 hours long

and if you use a desktop it's around $2.10 for a skin in New York

They can only keep the 123 spot if they retained the 123 flag meta. Unfortunately they didn't.

They do have the 123 flag meta if you broaden the definition to flag designs though. 1 Union Jack, 2 tricolours, 3 Nordic crosses
