80 is only special because it was used in the past so people just assume that it'll be at least that in the future. The level 80 threshold seemed to cause a lot of people grief in the previous event, though it wasn't too difficult to overcome I think (I suppose 1-5 played a huge role in that, but we know better now). I think it was a reasonable threshold, but then again I was mid-90s back then and a balanced fleet (didn't even have 46cms!).

I'm wagering that the devs might bump the threshold even higher if the event is sufficiently difficult enough, perhaps 90 this time around. It'll have been a few months since the Spring event and most teitokus should have progressed a bit since then so I wouldn't be surprised of the bar is set higher (or even multi-tiered if the devs want to be creative).
