Steemmonsters: Gold I has been reached!

in #esteem5 years ago (edited)

With a little bit more than 2 days to go in season 9, I did reach the Gold I division!

So I decided to take a shot at Diamond III. I will need some luck with it and I do wonder if it is worth it! Yes it will give me 10 extra season cards and I will have a higher starting rank next season. But also the 2 remaining daily quests will be tougher just like the daily quest in the beginning of next season!

In season 8 I did try to the same and failed miserably! Will I have a shot this time? I did invest around 18 steem this season to increase my life and water element! Now is the time that I will know if it was worth it!

Tournaments

Yesterday I also participated in my first tournament! It was over after one round! Because it was a bronze tournament I can’t blame it on the stronger deck of the opponent! He just had more Steemmonsters skills!

Daily reward

Hi dad!

Got to work on those skills. There are some serious players out there but you can learn from the beatings. That's what I've been trying to do.

I did think about the scenario also but decided to grind it a little more. With a lot of luck I will receive a card which is worth a lot of steem.
Did received a golden foil Sacred Unicorn 🦄 and sold it for 130 steem. That is what keeps me going!

I made it into Gold easily this season but can’t get into Diamond! This grind will be tough with the time left but agree worth it. I am still debating where my next effort will be to improve my deck but excited for the prospects of card delegation and what they can do to fund future purchases!

I would not like to see the card delegating being implemented!
Lots of Steemmonster whales do have multiple max out decks. It would be easy for them to delegate them out to a secondary account and reaping more rewards. Leaving the small players behind with even less peanuts!
If this goes through I will try it for one season and probably quit after then!
Also it will decrease the value of the cards again! Why purchase a card if you can get it delegated for less money?

Interesting perspective but from what I read the card delegation would be for individual battles to target their use for tournaments and not seasons. I think of as a way to test what cards can help the deck or team before buying it, but you have a great point. I am personally looking to do something with the load of beta cards I am not using. I trust the developers will watch carefully and adjust to protect engagement and value.

Let's hope they do!

Now I'm officially jealous, lol! I don't really like to play the life splinter, but I do love the 'My Little Badass Pony'. Every time I open my reward cards, I'm hoping to get a shiny one :0)
Plus, a card worth 130 Steem is always nice to get for free...

Thanks for using eSteem!

Honestly ive only made it past the first round of elimination once. It seems I have terrible luck and usually get partnered up with someone thats high diamond or champion and just smahes me. I have a few cards Im looking to buy that will help level the playing field at least in the bronze tournaments.

I was always blaming not getting into Diamond League anymore on the decks of others, playing only one tournament did learn me that I also lack some steemmonsters skills. Hope that by playing tournament my skills will increase a little bit, which will make it easier in the daily quest!

Cheers,
Peter

Nice work, I am sitting middle of gold 1, without pushing. Might hit diamond with some good luck. Thank you so much for the SBI share, traveling has me missing so much on here

Already know that it will be a mission impossible. I did reach 2630 points, but not I am back in Gold II with 2450 points. The swings are sometimes unbelievable!
Always happy so give something back!

Congrats on reaching Gold 1.

Too bad you lost in the tournament. But as @niallon11 says: practice makes perfect. :0)

I see tournaments as a learning experience: you get a chance to battle players you would never meet in the ranking battles - there's always something new to learn.

Tournament play is also very different from daily play, IMO. In the beginning, I always had a hard time deciding which splinter to use - I often changed my team with only 30 seconds left on the clock. No need to say that's barely enough time to select a team, let alone a good one.

The reason for that was that I was used to playing only to complete the DQs. Basically, the game had always told me which splinter I should use. I had no experience with deciding which splinter was best for which rule.

I can't tell you how many beatings I had to take before I managed to win something in a tournament. But every beating was worth it, because every time I learned. Now, I still lose in 1st rounds - bad decisions, strong opponents - but I also earned 60 Steem in the last 4 days, just from playing tournaments. So don't give up. :0)

Congratulations, I'm sitting in Gold II right now but I don't think I can make Gold I in the next 20 hours.

Thanks!
I did try to reach Diamond III but I will not succeed 😔
Gold luck with chasing Gold I!
The life splinter always gets me there!

I still need to understand the STEEM monster games...and I have few cards with me but never knew what to do...you seems to be a perfectionist.👍
