We are the champions

(Edited)

For the first time I got into the Champions leagues on @Splinterlands. The previous season I got within one point before losing a series of battles. At that level you can meet some powerful opponents. This time I decided to try for it again and got lucky. Again I was within one point and then the next opponent surrendered. I have won a few more battles since then, but it's a big step up to Champion II, so I was unlikely to make that leap.

Champion

80 loot chests is a nice reward. I got an assortment of cards, a fair bit more DEC and potions. I am using some DEC to buy card packs just to see what I get. I am not to worried about what the cards are worth.

I think the best new card I got was this one. Also got a gold Baby Unicorn, but I do not tend to play Life much.

Onyx Sentinel

@The-Bitcoin-Dood also made it to Champion III for the first time. Like me he has been meeting a lot of bot accounts like this one. There are lots of ENMINERS and NEMINERS out there around the Diamond leagues. I would rather play people.

Bot

@belemo made it to Champion II. Well done!

I used some of my Steem to upgrade cards. Most of my summoners are level 4 now, but level 5 would be better to be able to use the capabilities of some cards. That could cost another $20 to upgrade each and I am not sure I want to spend that right now. Maybe I will use some post rewards to gradually buy the extra cards, but it seems you can get better deals by buying cards that are already upgraded. I could get those and sell what I have already. I am playing more for fun than as an investment.

I am so glad @Splinterlands came to Hive. It is one of the biggest dapps out there and a great project to have with us. I have heard about some people not liking some of the recent changes, but the team seem dedicated to improving it.

See you on the battlefield!

Well done man.
It was a surreal feeling for me to actually get into Champion 2. I actually never expected it.

I can imagine it took some effort. Must be a good feeling and you get to start this season a bit higher up. Hope you got some good rewards.

Rewards were crap unfortunately. A few of the new reward cards, one untamed pack and some potions.

I didn't win any packs, but bought one as I gained enough DEC for that. The rewards tend not to be as good as a while back when we just won cards, but then the bots were exploiting that.

Oh well, its's all good. I like the fact that I can get high up the ranks and kick ass. Hopefully fewer bots and more people will be around the platform later.

Give it a go. You have to pay for a starter pack, but maybe you can save up some Hive to cover that.

Congratulations!

I think that Onyx sentinel card looks useful.

Damn those bots!

Congratz! I managed to wiggle my way into silver 1 this league, the last 50 points was quite the battle.

It can be hard work as you win some and lose some against tough opponents. There has to be some challenge to stop it being boring. Hope you can get to gold next time.

That's the goal, Got some really nice cards from loot boxes recently that should help me get there!

I haven't even checked to see what I won yet. I didn't make it to Champion though, great job! I have noticed it has been easier to get up in the Diamond level towards the end of the season lately. I don't know if that can be attributed to my cards or just more bot accounts out there.

At least I got to start in Diamond this season, but still finding it hard. I meet some people with L8 cards and above.

The first days of a new season are always tough. It's better to wait for the hard core players to move up out of the ranks and then you should find it much easier.
