It has been a pretty busy week in Splinterlands for me thanks to yet another End of Season (as usual) π. I'm sure this is pretty much the same for most players too - Trying to climb up to your desired ranking and then having to rent cards to make the required Collection Power cutoff rates and whatnot. All these is done in the hope of some great rewards in the EoS chests π€.
On the Splinterlands developers side of things, I've also got some news for you regarding the new project Genesis League Soccer GOALS (notice the name change there? π). β½οΈβ½οΈβ½οΈ
But before I go into detail...
A brief introduction before I start though...
Good Day to all Splinterlands players! (and people of HIVE! π) I've made it a point to blog about my weekly progress and experiences in Splinterlands/HIVE in my "weekly diary". Splinterlands & HIVE are what I'd consider to be my entry point into the World of Crypto, and I intend to use this as a means to look back on the path I've taken in the years ahead.β³β³β³
This is now the 47th consecutive week writing in my Diary (of sorts) detailing my Splinterlands Journey ever since I started this game. Of course, this also marks my 37th weekly giveaway! ππ₯³π
No week goes by in Splinterlands without some news event happening though. And here's my pick of some of the most interesting ones in my opinion. π°π°π°
πΊοΈπ§³βοΈUpdates on my Splinterlands JourneyπΊοΈπ§³βοΈ
As mentioned in my opening introduction, the End of Season has come and gone once again. As in the previous few seasons, both my Main and Alt accounts finished the season in the Gold League, albeit having played in Silver for the season proper. This ensures that my next EOS reward chests will be of the Gold quality.
Rewards wise, both accounts were fairly disappointing in my opinion. Unfortunately, this didn't seem to be my season ππΈ. Hopefully the next one will be better. Rental wise, my napkin math shows that I probably didn't really make a loss thankfully π .
Here's to hoping the Law of Averages swings the other way next season π€£ and my luck changes.
My quest for more Gold Foil Legendary cards from my rewards chests continues on ("Greed is Good!" π). It's a 0.008% chance, at base level, to pull a legendary gold foil, in case you were wondering π. Here's to more jackpot strikes in the future (i hope) π€π»ππ€π»ππ€π»π.
ππ°πSplinterlands Newsππ°π
Whilst this isn't strictly Splinterlands, I do consider the Genesis League part of the overall ecosystem and so, here we are π.
First off, notice that the formerly named Genesis League Soccer has been renamed to Genesis League Goals? π Long story short, it's all about branding among several other reasons. No problem though, it's not like the game has been launched yet anyway. Afterall, Splinterlands was originally called Steemmonsters too! π±
The bigger news is that GLG's Presale will be LIVE soon in about 2 days as of me writing this post. They've also just released their White Paper too! The link is below for anyone who's interested in the details π€.
https://whitepaper-goals.genesisleaguesports.com/
I'm really quite excited about this new foray into another game. Existing Splinterlands players with SPS staked will also soon start to earn the GLX token from Genesis League Goals. That's another year of airdrops! π€ Time to start gathering even more SPS! Even though we're in a bear market, I do feel that this could potentially be very rewarding in the future. Of course, nothing is guaranteed, and everything is just a calculated risk. I am happy to place a small bet on this though.
The white paper also shows the amount of GLX tokens presale packs can earn. Considering that presale packs are cheaper and that they'll give 65 months of airdrops, I might consider getting some of my own too. π€
Weekly Chaos Legion Sales Tracker
And now, for an update on the number of Chaos Legion packs sold thus far. About 55k sold since last week. That is an amazing sales figure! π
Here's the current count (as of the moment I'm writing this post) of the number of packs sold, and we're 869k away from the 11 million mark! Which also means everyone has a chance to get in now and grab more packs for the remaining airdrops! π
My fingers are crossed! π€π»π€π»π€π» Hopefully I'll get some amazing luck for the next round! πππ
β¨πβ¨Weekly GIVEAWAY #47β¨πβ¨
β¨πβ¨Choose One of these Reward Cardsβ¨πβ¨
Instead of continually going through my list of common reward cards I can afford to give away each week, I've decided to let YOU CHOOSE WHICH YOU PREFER! π
This is probably more helpful, especially for new players who join my giveaways, as they can then finetune their decks with what they need (if they're lucky enough to win ππ).
Of course, all these options are while stocks last, if I'm unable to offer you the card you've chosen should you win it, I will send you one of these cards in the list instead. They are all very useful for new players, and even veterans who level these cards up to high levels will find them pretty strong too! ππͺ
