Brawl Report #16 - Butchered

Alright this week's Brawl Report is going to be slightly different. Instead of casting a spotlight onto a particular Gladiator, I would wish to share something interesting and exciting that our guild did. So for this week's brawl, we decided to enter a Tier 2 Brawl. I am not sure if this is the right phrasing, but this is where all the big boys are. And true enough, as soon as we dipped our toes into the waters, we were immediately mortified.

If you have been following, chances are you would be pretty impressed by the results of our guild thus far, with every brawl achieving a podium ranking. In fact, anything less than the 1st place and I would be feeling a slight tat disappointed. But the moment we started the brawl at this tier, I knew things would be different. Let's have a glimpse.

For starters, we were ranked the 6th place. And have a look at the Win-Lose ratio, it is almost 1:2! I have been with this guild for some time, and I know the folks are awesome and smart, they do not just mindlessly enter their lineupes without looking at the match conditions. Which means, the standards of our opponents in this Tier are just, ridiculous.

Now, for my personal perfomance.

4 Wins and 3 Loses. Though still more wins than loses, but still... this is a sight that I am most unfamiliar with!

Nevertheless, one of my guild mates @elbrava was a real champ. I have literally no clue how she managed to do it, but she got an impressive 6 Wins and 1 Lose. Here I am praying that the opponent does not have a Kron, Llama, Zaku, Legendary monsters/gladiators and so on. And there she is, wiping the enemy clean. I have no idea how she did it, but for such a stellar performance we really have to laud her and celebrate this team victory

So some thoughts? The amount of merits we took home was significantly lower, approximately 2/3 of what we used to take home. Now on an individual perspective, hell no. The faster we get more merits, the more Gladiators we can have and therefore make ourselves stronger! But from a team perspective, probably there is some advantages to consider. Most significantly, more members can join the brawl. With that, more people can earn the Merits, meaning that more members of the guild can benefit. So there are merits to both, and it will be up to our trusted guild leaders to decide.

Whatever it is, this is my first encounter with opponents at the Diamond/Champion rank (when I am still struggling to maintain a silver). Though it is a true massacre, I guess I will still live to see another brawl
