Well part of that is a lot of them probably hope to be able to turn right around and sell it for profit.

I was assigned to purple as soon as the event started ( I clicked the thing to join a random group asap )
Have not used any tokens.. then again I have not gained any. I have been gaining team points just not with the event cards. ( Been selling those.. hey I have picked up 2 games with them and saved up to 5 USD so far and still have some to sell. I also know I will get more of those.. so :D )

I'm just really confused at who's going to pay that much to change teams or to steal points. Instead of spending money to have a very slim chance to win games, they could just buy the games.
Although, everyone joining purple and red would explain why they're so far ahead.

They got far ahead yesterday > People think that they have a bigger chance winning > Craft badge and earn Purple/Red token > Immediately switch team > The number of Purple and Red increase ~> Far ahead again.
I personally think that the Team Token is a terrible idea of Steam. It WILL make the game so imbalanced to the point that most users will be either red or purple, thus make them dominate the game, and then there's no fun after that.

Its a pretty odd thing for them to include, with no apparent way to balance things out. I suppose they just figured their cut of the tokens selling in the marketplace was an extra source of revenue. But it really just defeats the point for the teams that will be far, far behind, thus causing them to stop trying and cutting into Valve's revenue.
Why should I bother crafting more badges if my team is going to be 50,000-100,000 points behind every day?

Don't forget that yesterday red was dead last. Honestly, I doubt red and purple will be able to win every day. At some point people will run out of money and that's when green, blue and pink can jump in and take over.

First off all I think the people that buy a lot now, will not buy that much every single day of the sale - so it should actually rather quickly balance itself when a team is winning by a lot.
And then also, Valve might have been clever enough to put new player more likely into the teams that are behind to make sure within the next few days they'll catch up.

This is my guess as well. Wouldn't be surprised if there was a bit of Valve maths going on, obviously not including the number three.

A couple hours ago when Green was dead last, that's what I got >_<

I dumped off a Green token last night for $24. It's crazy

When you play the game of teams, you win... or you die.

Christ, really? People who craft purple tokens are the real winners here. Crafting a purple token right now is wayyyyy better than being on purple team.
