Maybe this helps here. In Release 5.2 I won 2696GC. I'm Elite player, WTTT B, no team gold, so added to that is LTS bonus, SE bonus, level up bonus and extra GC that was rewarded in WTTT (200GC in my case). My calculations tell me I needed 1621GC to stay even to my goal of getting to 100% game completion. I'ts a little off from the guide as you can't sometimes win the LTS prize without spending useless gold.
