Because good for us is going 7 and 0, anything less than that is subpar to our standards. Clans come in all shapes, sizes, and beliefs, knowing this, it’s easy to “see” how some clans goals in CWL are higher than others.Quote:

First time in a while we're completely outmatched. Too many of our top players have opted out this month so we had to fill the gaps with some TH12s and even TH11s. Small chance we'll take 6th but looks like we're going to get knocked out of Masters this season
We got a tough draw.
2 World Champions Clans like Blaze JP and SNT Elite is in our group.
Along with them also have two clans with 25+ win streak.
Going to be a fun week for sure this timeXD.
What a difference a relegation season can make..
We were totally outmatched last time in Crystal 2 and finished 7th..
This time out, spun on day 2 (still personally think it makes a difference in those tiers), with a 4/3/5/3 break down..
43 stars on day 1, and day 2 against 2nd placed clan is looking like being somewhere similar..
Already looking like being back in Cr2 again next time around.
Good luck Rak.. Some top drawer clashing there.
Lost Battle Day 1
Won Battle Day 2
& in a Strong Position in Battle Day 3 currently.
Currently in Crystal II after a couple of Relegations following some Heavy Hitters leaving to another Clan
Won Battle Day 3
In the Balance - Battle Day 4
Currently we're at Crystal 3 after being promoted from gold 1. We usually yoyo between Gold1 and Crystal 3.
We're on 15v15 war with fixed roster,
2 max th13. 4 th 12(non max). 3 th11(non max). And 6 mixed th10.
there's a big chance we might getting promoted into crystal 2. And that was quite surprising for us Since we're usually relegated back to gold 1.
I wonder if there any connections between lot of clan doing 30v30 at Crystal 1 and above?
We were advanced to Crystal 1. We had an easy go of it last cwl the match ups were fairly even. This go around....not so much. We are up against higher th levels than most of us and better skill. So we go from #1 in Crystal 2 to total trash in Crystal 1.Luck of the draw. 🤕
With mixed hall rosters, and so many clans of varying stages of development and skills, it is difficult to place any emphasis on anything other than luck of the draw..Quote:

we spun day 1 last time in Cr2, and got totally outsized and outplayed.. This time day 2 in Cr3, and we are one of the big boys and way out in front on day 4, to the point where we added a TH10 bench warmer and a 9 today, but will still win again..
But cwl for mixed hall in middle tiers is a lottery..
All good, so long as your expectations are realistic.
Yep, is our experience too..Quote:

Stars and results arent important, and its a chance for the war players to do hero upgrades without a book..
But we go one season over powered, next season under powered..
Such are the fortunes of cwl..
So long as people get their 8 stars and dont let frustration set in, its good for progression.
Luck of the draw, as you say..
Plenty of time to get more serious if we ever get big enough and good enough.
It can be difficult, sometimes seemingly impossible, when you move up a league.Quote:

Hang in there, it ain't over yet!
Hopeful that we’ll remain in Crystal II for another Season
My no-effort (they don't fill CCs, use mostly spam attacks etc) mini clan of TH10 to TH6 finally lost on day 4.
On their way to Gold 3 (which is the target), yay!
After 5 rounbds, we have lost 2, won 3, and are in 4th place in Masters 3.
But this is an incredibly close league this time round. There have been two ties in two of the rounds, and one in two more. And we are only 15 points behind the leaders. Even 5th are only 23 points behind.
We are playing the top clan this time - the only one so far to have been all TH13 (we have two TH12).
Sounds nip and tuck and fun mate.. EnjoyQuote:

Well, we decided to take the plunge and advance to Champion league. We were 6 and 0 going into the seventh war and the other clan was undefeated as well. Two other times we decided as a clan to stay in Master 1 because we only do 30 vs 30. Instead of waiting for the other clan to attack to see how many stars they got so we could stay 1 under them so we wouldn’t advance, we just went for it.
We will probably get smashed in Champion league, but I figured why not try it out to see what it’s like. It sure was nice getting 10 bonus medal packs to hand out this CWL. We won’t be seeing anything close to that in Champion league. I really hope that Supercell adds 30 vs 30 to Champion 3, or makes a Titan league and makes all of Champion league 30 vs 30.
congrats JtB.. Never know whats gonna drop with the update..Quote:

Thanks! Yes, it would be awesome if the new update had something like that in store. That would be great timing, lol.Quote:

Crystal 1 - looks like we'll go 4-3 and finish in 4th or 5th depending on how may stars the 5th place team pick up in their remaining battle.
D1 was epic fail on my part, forgot to drop earth quakes and turned easy dip 3 into epic fail 1 star.
D5 we had team 1 star fail and lost what should have been a very close war by 4 stars.
Ah well most of our 11s are ready to go to 12 so maybe next season.
I don't know what it is but our Crystal 1 this season was a lot harder, looks like we may just scrape trough and not be demoted with 2 wins :(
A few hours left in Round 6, looks like we'll finish in 3rd. Still yet to play the clan in 1st, but they look to be running a 9/4/2 lineup courtesy of clashofstats.com. The top 2 clans both ran heavy rosters so they definitely deserve to beat us.
we just broke thru the 300 star barrier on day 7.. Will either go 7-0 or 6-1 depending how this ends..
Playing 2nd place 51 stars in total behind ATM, but they were also 6-0 going into today and this one is in the balance.
New highest score for us it looks, and Cr2 again next term.. YoYo team.
Congratulations on the great showing this CWL!Quote:

They didn't take those last two attacks (they were already relegated), so we finish 4/3 in 5th place in Masters 3.Quote:

Thx.. To be fair, the team in 2nd place should be winning the league, not way behind us..Quote:

I guess spam still has some mileage in it, but is also prob the reason we cant handle Cr2.
Best part for us so far is I think we only had 3 no shows all week leading into day 7.. a victory in itself for casuals..
Next season will likely see a big change once the going gets tough.
Just started our 7th war (crystal 1) & our 9/2/4 lineup is against all 13's, top 10 of which are maxed. So it's a stick-on for a 3-4 week. Bizarrely tho', we're sitting in 3rd despite being 3-3. We are unlikely to finish there, but probably won't do worse than 4th.
Finished 5th in Crystal II - 3 Wins, 4 Losses.
We are going to finish in 4th, with 4 wins and 3 losses in masters 3. Not too bad, especially considering we just got promoted to masters last season.
My attacks went really well, my TH13 got 20 stars, the fail was a 99% time-fail (still a bit upset with myself about that...) and my TH12 got 19 stars.
I think searching the second day does help, comparing what we're facing to what Ajax's clan faced. We're running 7/8, and 3 of the other clan have had at least one TH11, and many have really rushed 12s or 13s.
2-5 in Crystal I.
We will rule in C2 next month.
We went 7-0 and gone up to Ch2. Good season was had by all
Except your opponents :)Quote:

We got our butts kicked. Just not enough to drop. Went 3-4 in m3. Beat the two bottom ones soundly. Squeaked out the last win by one star despite being short an attacker. Spent the other 4 wars figuring out how to snipe a star or 2 from 12s and 13s with 11s and 10s. Sneaky goblins are my minis best friend. Was a much tougher group than our prior two rounds and we lost a few heavy bases due to real life attrition. Got out the broom. Cleaned house. Back to the recruiting trail.
