Welcome back to my blog, @queen-silvia. In this battle weekly challenge, I am going to share my best achievement in SPS tournament hosted by @splinterlands. I got 270 SPS which is equivalent to $15.66 at the current prize. What I am going to emphasize in this article is that if we want to get high prize, we need to do some sacrifice and hard work. To be honest, I don't own silver deck, so I need to rent to participate in this tournament and then calculate how much profit I got for 2 days rental. Weekend is always the time for me to rent since there are so many tournaments with high prize awaiting. Participating into SPS tournament is always fun since I always got my rental cost back and some profit. Another advantage is that I can push my rating in the top of Ranked battle Leaderboard, just like the below pictures :

The above pictures will become my motivation booster to compete for the top 3 Silver Leaderboard this season. Well, This article will explain about the following topics :
- Tournament Overview
- My Tournament Performance
- The most interesting battle
- Tourney Result
- Announcement of the Giveaway #33 Winner
- Giveaway #35
- TOURNAMENT OVERVIEW -
Well, This tournament is well-known by all Splinterlands players since It was conducted officially by Splinterlands team. The top 4 will receive high amount of SPS, 540 SPS, which is equivalent to $31.32 at the current prize. Well, in my opinion this is high for such a short and simple tournament. The interesting thing from this tournament is that all players will receive SPS based on their final rank and it's good to incentives players to own or rent cards to increase their skill.
The tournament league is silver and wild format, which means that All cards (including alfa and beta) are available to be used in the battle. There were 211 players participated in this event which proves how high enthusiasm the participants have for the tournament. The entry fee is only 10 SPS and all players will get the entry fees back as this tournament is rewarding 256 players. This type of tournament is anytime 24 hours to give chance for all the players around the world to fill their match whenever they are free.
- MY TOURNAMENT PERFORMANCE -
I am personally thinking that my performance is not really good since I realized, I submitted my team too fast and didn't review it before submitting. Like for example the match has 99 mana, and I used Scarred Llama Mage as the summoner, and then I realized, oh my god, what I was doing, I should have used Byzantine Kitty instead of Llama. I did this kind of mistake so many time, too bad. The next Poseidar Wild Silver tournament will be held on November 7, 2022 at 3 PM in my local time, Jakarta (UTC +7). I won't repeat the same mistake and try to put the team very carefully. Alright, here is all the battle in the first round :
The first round consisted of 13 matches and I took 3 L out of them. I lost against @fuidflame, The wonder boy from Koochi, @schnapoon, and @junkiecrypto. Since I lost against them, I will share the 3 battles as lesson learned and some explanation why I lost against them. You may click on the picture to see how the battle is going on. I hope you like it :
1st lose against @fluidflame
| Mana : 23 (Water, Life, Death, Dragon) | Ruleset : Stampede, Odd Ones Out |
|---|---|
 | My opponent counter magic attack perfectly with Grandmaster Rathe and Blinding Reflector. His sneak monsters attack was also pretty effective to kill my team. |
2nd lose against @schnapoon
| Mana : 99 (Fire, Water, Earth, Life, Dragon) | Ruleset : Even Stevens |
|---|---|
 | I should have used Byzantine Kitty as well since the mana is 99. Dragon monsters is the best in high mana as they have huge attack and high HP. |
3rd lose against @junkiecrypto
| Mana : 27 (Water, Life) | Ruleset : Even Stevens |
|---|---|
 | My prediction that the opponent will use magic monster is totally wrong and the match is over once The kraken got killed by Uriel the Purifier. |
At the final round, there are 11 matches, and I took 2 L, both from my own guild mate, @kimchiiiii and the top silver player, @brooder. I am a bit lucky after getting 2 bonus win as Kalyus and Buttmonkey have fled the final round. Here is all the battle in the final round :
4th lose against @kimchiiiii
| Mana : 99 (Fire, Water, Earth, Life, Death) | Ruleset : Heavy Hitters, Odd Ones Out |
|---|---|
 | My Coeurl with 5 speed attack missed against Coeurl with 4 speed, The dodge ability may make your attack miss even you have higher speed. |
5th lose against @brooder
| Mana : 40 (Water, Earth, Life, Death) | Ruleset : Equal Opportunity, Close Range |
|---|---|
 | I didn't read the ruleset properly, It was Close Range and I have to use Ilthain or Lir Deepswimmer as ranged attack counter. |
- THE MOST INTERESTING BATTLE -
Let's ignore the fact that I didn't read the ruleset properly and use Ilthain or Lir Deepswimmer. The brooder strategy to attract all of my attack to the taunt monster in the backline and put two triage monsters as healer is I think good strategy. Both healer are able to restore Wave Brood and Axemaster heath point. As my total attack is less than healer ability (8), all of m attack is useless and my kraken got killed first. Kraken is a very important tank, if he dies, it's very hard for me to win the battle.
- TOURNAMENT RESULT -
Two players got the highest prize in this tournament, @hellslash and @bluelightning, they deserved 540 SPS, the next tier rewards are given to @ula.ocean, @albee, and my guildmate, @kimchiiii. They got 490 SPS each while I have to be satisfied to finish the tournament at 13th place with 270 SPS. I swear to do my best again and really hope to get higher rank in the next Poseidar Silver Wild Tournament. For all of players who have participated, Congratulations for the SPS reward you got, See you on the next tournament.
