Good morning Soulkeepers and Splinterfriends!!
Yesterday was a pretty great day for me digitally... not only did I Claim a Plot and then Survey it to find a Keep - details here: (click the Keep for article link)
But then later that night... I looked at the Tournament Page of Soulkeep... The Russian Mafia had claimed the top three spots on the League 7 Leaderboard 😠
I would have placed higher but I made a critical misclick on Round 1 of the Bonus Map and really screwed myself lol
The Ruleset yesterday made scoring a bit of a gamble due to "Spell Freeze" which is where a Spell is LOCKED and unable to be used.
Spell Freeze starts on Round 2 and targets a "random" spell each round, rendering it useless for that round.
Somehow this "random" chance seems to hit Mana Mania more than anything else lol
With the Spell "Mana Mania" being so critical for the meta... Spell Freeze can make or break your run!!
Normally, I hate relying on RNG because IT HATES ME... but I decided to try once more for 236 Tickets (944 DEC). Major prizes were on the line and not to mention... those guys annoy me.
I knew I could easily take 2nd place if I didn't make the same stupid mistake and the prize payout is HEAVILY favored for 1st... so it was worth a shot.
I am so glad I took that chance because I remedied my mistake from the first attempt and the RNGods smiled upon me!!!
I put up a terrific score, took home the Gold and defeated my rivals!! Queue up "Eye of the Tiger"!!! Let's goooooooooooooooooooooooo!
Now, please keep in mind - I am in League 7. This is pretty high up in Soulkeep Leagues and requires Time/Investment or LOTS of $$$ as the new "Soulboxes" are out and allow players to buy their way into quicker advancement...
Not sure how I feel about this new aspect... but I can't really do much about it lol
Let's take a look at the Prize Payout for this Tournament yesterday...
Yes Chef, that's an appropriate response...
The Reward Distribution is pretty Top Heavy in Soulkeep so that's why posting a Top 3 finish is always the goal...
As you can see 1st Place was awarded a HUGEANTIC Purse of 1,767 $SPS while 2nd place fell 1,000 $SPS short of that...
3rd place was a little less than 2nd but 4th place was less than 50% of what 2nd received... I wasn't about to settle for 4th place due to a misclick...
Winning a higher League Tournament in Soulkeep is GREAT... once in awhile... but what is REALLY AWESOME... is dunking them BACK TO BACK!!!
That was from yesterday: Wed, Oct 9th... so let's look at Tue, Oct 8th!
Yeah... basically that... I smell what tha Rock is cooking... It smells like VICTORY!!!
I can't say I win them all... but winning these two tournaments, back to back... that's pretty awesome!! On top of Surveying a Keep...
Yup... pretty much sums it up 🤷♂
That's all I have for you today folks!! Thank you for reading and I would LOVE for you to join me in game!!
