The temptation to keep playing and winning battles is sometimes overpowering to make posts.
For the first time in Splinterlands I reached in Diamond III league, before getting to Diamond, I fought in Gold I to finish focus daily, although I only got 10 Chests, it was worth 4.95$, you can see what I got in focus daily on that day as follows;
I got one Legendary monster, Contess Sinash, and 3304 DECs thus increasing the number of DEC I have, but I stopped to recover my ERC, after my ERC returned to 100% I pushed my rating to Diamond and I managed to achieve it, I rented a card so that I have enough power to fight in Diamonds.
Even though I got 21 Chests, the results of DECs I got didn't reach the amount of DEC I spent on renting cards, maybe the more you play the highest results you will get algorithm applies, I also don't know for sure what the algorithm behind this game is.
Now I'm back fighting but not in Diamond, but in Gold II, hoping to get more DEC than I spent and also as savings for renting cards on the last day of the season to get the end of seasons rewards which hopefully can end in Diamond.
My daily focus now is Water, I don't force myself to go to Diamond because the target this time is to compete in Diamond on the last day of the season.
