26th Mar 2022. This was one of the rare instances where I did well for a tournament and reached the finals.

And one that is live-streamed on Twitch.

Shout out to Clove and GoodTrouble for hosting these tournaments. Check out their Twitch channel here!

Last is first

"If you are last, you are first."

This peculiar phrase was added to the tournament details.

Whatever it is, I’m joining and doing my best as usual.

Results of tournament, but huh?

Finally! It’s been a while since I’ve reached the finals of a tournament.

Wait a minute, are the rewards reversed for the top 4 players?!?

The rewards ARE reversed…

It just had to be a tournament that I do well in, isn’t it?

I’m glad that my opponents put up a good fight regardless, and it was a ton of fun.

You can check out the final battle here if you are interested.

Reflection

I’m grateful for this cheeky change. It throws the incentives for players to do their best into the trash.

But it’s a good reminder of the best proposition that Splinterlands is giving its players.

It’s not sky-high investment returns.

It’s not the promise of a giant Esports scene or community.

At its core, Splinterlands is a great game for strategy players, krill or whale.

Enjoy it for what it is!
