Bronze II First Timer - A 50+ Woman's Experience

As I approach my second month of #Splinterlands, I continue to enjoy the learning experience that each match brings.

I've also begun watching some of the live matches on Twitch. <-I totally didn't see that coming. I'm actually sitting on the couch in my living room watching Splinterlands tournaments. I enjoy hearing the hosts talking about the gameplay, share SPT history, and tease upcoming cards. It's also exciting to hear some of what we can expect when the new Chaos Legion is released...soon...right?

In the first month of playing Splinterlands, the big challenge was learning what the heck I was doing. Winning enough matches to get out of Novice League into Bronze League III. Those 5 end-of-season chests were motivation enough. Then in my second month, my challenge has been staying in Bronze League III and not sliding back into Novice. <-Still working on that, btw.

I remember @asynckronism telling me, "All you have to do is touch Bronze League II to get the 7 chests for end-of-season rewards."

I have been focused on winning more than not winning. Making every effort to keep out of Novice League. Learning what summoners and cards work well against various opponents. Yet, his words were floating around in my mind.

"All you have to do is touch Bronze League II..."
"All you have to do is touch Bronze League II..."
"All you have to do is touch Bronze League II..."

Over and over again. I would especially hear those words on the rare occasions when I was 300+ inside Bronze League III. Of course, for most of this season, I have popped above 300 and slid back down. There were a few times I was above 350, and I began to get my hopes up....only to wind up back at 195 or less. I was hoping that I might "touch Bronze League II" this season but, as the days have been winding down was also mentally preparing to make that my main goal for next season.

Then last night. IT HAPPENED!!!

When I saw the number 402 I was shocked and thrilled at the same time. I had actually touched the Bronze League II!

Since I felt like I was on a roll, I pondered stopping where I was or playing again and risking sliding back into Bronze League III. I had already touched Bronze League II, so my 7 chests were assured. I sat there for a few moments and then decided to play one more game before I called it a night. I won that match, too! Not wanted to push my luck any further, I closed the window. My final tally was 442, which was a really great feeling.

I'm writing this the next day and have yet to play a match today. It feels so great to have accomplished this goal that I sort of want to enjoy it. I understand each level increases the skill level of players. As a newbie to the Bronze League II, I know I'll be playing against more seasoned players with better cards. For now, I will enjoy breathing in the air of this space. So this is what it's like in Bronze II. I like it!
