YES!!! I Won 40 Steem In A Steemmonsters Tournament

It had been a while since I won a tournament, but today was a good day. I won the FreeSteemMine tournament and doubled my prize money

The Tournament

The Freesteemmine.com tournament was one of the very few Bronze tournaments that could be played without limitations. Legendaries, 2-mana summoners, Selenia Sky, ... everything was allowed.

I like the tournaments in which the only limitation is the league you're playing. It allows you to put more variation in your game.

Another thing I liked was that it was a small tournament. Only 23 active participants took part. It's a relief to be able to play a small tournament that doesn't take 2 hours to finish.

It was extra fun, because it was the first time I played the same tournament as my fellow Hive account@teampossible members Hive account@anouk.nox and Hive account@gillianpearce. Unfortunately, I had to battle Hive account@gillianpearce in the first round, so she got knocked out of the tourney pretty fast. After all, only one of us could win.

Hive account@anouk.nox made it to the 3rd round, where she was overpowered by Hive account@stiant. It was fun having them around. Thanks, girlies!

Double Prize Money

The Freesteemmine tournaments are hosted by Hive account@marcuswahl and are meant to be a promotion for his Freesteemmine.com website. It is a free-to-join website with a Bitcoin faucet and some extra games.

The reason I signed up last week is because you get 1000 Satoshis when you sign up for the site. If you join the free Hive account@steemmonsters tournaments hosted by Freesteemmine and you feel pretty sure of yourself, you can choose to pay 500 Satoshi as an entry fee. If you do and you win a prize, the prize is doubled.

Since signing up for the site was free, and the 500 Satoshi for the entry free was part of the bonus I got for signing up, I thought it could do no harm. If I would win, my prize would be doubled.

Last week, I finished in 3rd place. So instead of receiving 5 Steem in prize money, I got 10 Steem + a free booster pack.

Today, I had 500 Satoshi left from my registration bonus, I decided to pay the entry fee again this time.

Glad I did...

The Road To Victory

After eliminating Hive account@gillianpearce, I was matched against Hive account@rivalzzz. I thought I was done for the day, because he has kicked me out of plenty of tournaments before. But not today. I was surprised I was able to beat him by winning 2 games in a row. It was almost too easy...

Next up was Hive account@roadstories, a player I didn't know anything about. The good thing about not knowing who your opponent is, is that you don't have any expectations or fears when setting up your team. You can just do your own thing, and than you can only wait and see what happens.

Once again, I was able to beat my opponent by winning two games in a row. I was on a roll...

In the finals, I met host and organizer Hive account@marcuswahl. We each won a game, so we had to fight a third one to decide who would become the final winner.
