RUNNER UP AT SPLINTERFORGE GOLD TOURNAMENT (PRIZE WORTH $46) | GIVEAWAY #44
Source : "https://wallpapercave.com/ino-yamanaka-naruto-wallpapers"
Welcome back again to my blog, @queen-silvia. This post is gonna be special since I break the prize record in a single tournament. The rewards are 2 Chaos Legion Packs and 120,000 Forgium which worth around ~$46 at current value. Previously my prize record from tournament was $806 SPS which worth around $31. Although breaking the record, I am feeling very disappointed with the result since I should have became a champion 😥. The final match was conducted in best of 5 format, where the first person who can get 3 win will win the final round and deserve the top prize. I won the first 2 matches, At the 4th match, My Dr. Blight has never activates his poison ability, Should it activated, I'll definitely win the Beta Pack and 150,000 Forgium. However, This is a tournament after all, There must be a player who win and lose, So, I'll take my lose as lesson learned.
To be honest, I just started playing at gold last season and I am really happy with the two achievements I got so far in Gold league. The first achievement was "Scarred Hand Gold Cup" organized by @splinterlands, At that moment, I got 129 SPS, Not that high but It was good to be at the second place and fought against many strong players who used to play at Gold Tournament. Well, This article will explain about the following topics :
- Tournament Overview
- Road to Final (Tips & Tricks)
- Final Match analysis (Tips & Tricks)
- Tourney Result
- Announcement of the Giveaway #42 Winner
- Giveaway #44
- TOURNAMENT OVERVIEW -
Alright, This tournament is organized by @rareraptor. I think this is the tournament which gives the highest prizes for all participants. Let's take a look at the reward for the first place, It's a beta pack which worth $37.2 currently and 240,000 Forgium which worth $73 so the total reward is around ~$110. Very fantastic reward for a "single tournament". I think that is the reason why top players like ueyuey, Hellslash, Schnapoon, and some Summoners Tribe are participating in this tournament. As we can see that there are 128 players were joined this high prize tournament. This current Splinterforge is special because it was a Gold league and single elimination tournament. Most of the time, the tournament was conducted in Silver league at anytime format (24 hours) which allow players to fill the tournament battle whenever they want (within the specified time).
- ROAD TO FINAL -
The tables below are showing who my opponents were, along with the pictures of the monsters and summoners we used in the battle, I have linked the picture with the battle so if you are interested on some of the battles, feel free to click on it and enjoy the battle :
1st Battle against @thejestergamer
| Mana : 32 (Fire, Earth, Life, Dragon) | Ruleset : Reverse Speed, Lost Legendaries |
|---|---|
 | The Tusk the Wide and Tinderlock counter magic attack very well and Yodin attack is much more battle since my opponent is not using reflection shield. |
| Mana : 15 (Fire, Water, Earth, Life, Death) | Ruleset : Equalizer, Stampede |
|---|---|
 | Since the ruleset is equalizer, we need to put as many monsters as we can in the battlefield and I forget to put Fungus Fiend in the first position. |
| Mana : 36 (Water) | Ruleset : Counter spell, Spreading Fury |
|---|---|
 | My Lir Deepswimmer counter my opponent's ranged attack very well and the blind ability sometimes have an impact to make the opponent's attack miss. |
2nd Battle against @bjangles
He was fled in the first round, Below iss our match in second round :
| Mana : 46 (Fire, Water, Earth, Death, Dragon) | Ruleset : Briar Patch, Counter spell |
|---|---|
 | My Lir Deepswimmer was taking an important role to counter ranged attack. Dr. Blight became hero at the end of battle with his poison ability. |
3rd Battle against @garnulf
| Mana : 46 (Fire, Earth, Death) | Ruleset : Fog of War, Broken Arrows |
|---|---|
 | Unicorn Mustang has a magic reflection ability which is very useful to fight against enemy who used magic attack a lot. |
Garnulf fled in the second round.
4th Battle against @ank2020 (Quarter-Final)
| Mana : 46 (Fire, Earth, Death) | Ruleset : Holy Protection, Stampede |
|---|---|
 | I intentionally put Coeurl Lurker with 4 additional speed which makes his total speed become 8. Luckily the speed of my opponent is low so they barely hit my Lurker. |
| Mana : 38 (Fire, Earth, Death) | Ruleset : Spreading Fury, Equalizer |
|---|---|
 | I intentionally put Coeurl Lurker with 4 additional speed which makes his total speed become 8. Luckily the speed of my opponent is low so they barely hit my Lurker. |
5th Battle against @bjyshadow (Semi-Final)
| Mana : 36 (Water, Earth, Life, Dragon) | Ruleset : Healed Out, Taking SIde |
|---|---|
 | The Forcefield ability on Djinn Oshannus really makes him a perfect tank in this battle as we can see 5 damage of Mitica was only give 1 damage only. |
| Mana : 15 (Earth, Life, Death, Dragon) | Ruleset : Rise of the Commons |
|---|---|
 | As soon as I think that the mana is low and earth splinter is available I just think about Llama, :) and it works perfectly to beat the summoners tribe player. |
- FINAL MATCH ANALYSIS -
The match went so intense between me and @hurricanelye. I won the first two matches but unfortunately due to bad RNG at round 4 (which I should win if my Dr. Blight activates his poison in several attacks), I lost the final, here is the battle : (as usual, feel free to click on picture to see the battle)
6th Battle against @hurricanelye (Final)
| Mana : 27 (Water, Earth, Dragon) | Ruleset : Holy Protection, Even Stevens |
|---|---|
 | He used Kitty with no strong tank so he lose the game easily. The protect ability from Queen Mycelia really protects my monsters |
| Mana : 32 (Water, Earth, Life) | Ruleset : Rise of the Commons |
|---|---|
 | The poison ability by Deeplurker really effective to kill the opponent. In addition, Mylor is weak against ranged attack monsters. |
| Mana : 60 (Fire, Earth) | Ruleset : Stampede, Lost Legendaries |
|---|---|
 | Sand Worm is the MVP in this battle since he can kill all of my monsters in the backline. My opponent sneak attack is more effective. |
| Mana : 30 (Fire, Water, Earth, Death, Dragon) | Ruleset : Briar Patch |
|---|---|
 | I got very bad RNG in this match. Ilthain should be used to counter yodin. In the last battle, |
| Mana : 25 (Water, Earth, Death) | Ruleset : Broken Arrows |
|---|---|
 | Posion is really important in this match. Although I used mylor, the Uraeus Poison really effective to kill my monsters in the backline. |
- TOURNAMENT RESULT -
Above picture is the top 5 players at the tournament. @hurriccanelye became the winner after beating me at the final with 2-3 score. What a comeback after taking 2 L first.

The forth position, we have @uchti with 8 wins and 5 Lose, both bjyshadow and uchti got 1 Chaos Legion pack and 80,000 Forgium. At the fifth position we have @tidepodoreos with 7 wins and 3 lose.
