You don't even know how quickly time flies. It's a week since I published my post, when I celebrated my 700 followers on the hive blockchain, which is really big milestone in my opinion. Since then I played a lot of battles in Splinterlands and I meet so many people on the blockchain. I try to be active everyday and I read many posts. My activity is usually reading first comments under my posts and then looking for post of other people.
But in this post I want write about my current situation in diamond leaderboard. I know that many people would say that I still play a lot of games, but for me is not a lot. I know that I can play more, but sometimes I feel like I just can't. Not because I don't want to play more games, but because I feel I'm little burned. Maybe I rented too many cards and still my position in leaderboard is not better, I not see the effects of better rentals and then I don't see me getting better, especially in this current season, which I started really good with quick advancement to diamond II, but then I stuck for like 7 days here and even I get demoted to Diamond III once again. So it could be demotivated for me I need to gather my thoughts about my last battles and think what I can do better to really go to win streak once again.
Now I have only 3000 rating, which is not much. My win ratio drop from 50% to only 47.7%, so definitely I need change something. Sometimes I feel like unstoppable and nobody can't just win versus me. But now is different. I feel like I can't win much and I think problem is with my mind. Maybe I'm little tired of always trying to perform really good. Maybe I need some break from playing more. My leaderboard rank is only at the end of top 100, so there is really much to improve.
I know I have good enough cards to fight for better places, but my mind is just blocked for winning. Maybe because I'm more blogger right now than pro player? I spent more time on blogging and less on playing. It could be that. Or this could be something else.
I thought that when I open some rarity draws then my motivation for playing better gonna rise. But the problem is I looking only for gold foil cards and in all 4 batches each with 100 cards I got 0 gold foil and I decided to open all with gold foil potions. So I feel like I wasted so much glint and still I can't upgrade my deck, because I play only with gold foils.
It cost me 120k glint got nothing in gold foil + of course I bought gold foil potions 500 with 10% discount.
Then I decided to just go for another bath, but this time with rare cards.
Maybe just my gold foil potions were broken? So I decided to just skim them, because why not. I don't care.
I opened for 100 cards, so full bath of rare cards.
As you see in left top corner I not used any potions for that.
I got 1 gold foil card, which is Torrent Sniper. In my opinion really good card, I bought owl some time ago in gold foil.
So far I not upgraded my deck after spending a lot of glint. But at least it was fun to watching all the cards not turning gold except this one.
Sometimes is hard to get positives, but it is no over yet. There are still some days until the end of the season, so maybe I got my hidden power to conquer for more victories and get my win streak finally. Funny thing, when I started writing this post I felt like I can't write even a 200 words, now I finished with almost 700! :D
