TH8 cup pushing is an art as most of the raids you will find will be higher THs, when you log off you are likely to the raided pretty quickly.
There are TH8s in Champ, but it will take a LOT of patience and to get that high I am sorry to say gems - you won't be able to find enough raids in the time you have before the forced break otherwise.
I am a lowly Master 3 - I BArched to masters and am now dragooning (slowly) upwards.
If you are interested in various attacking strategies for TH8 cup chasing then this old guy made a video recently about it.

Use max drags with boosted barracks and spell factory
Never getting it barching. I did it barching as th10 and I'm a very good barcher, IMO. 240 slots, 5 spells, 35 CC slots and royals level 18.
Drags is ♥♥♥♥♥♥ed, you have to not have a life.
Hogs is lol.
Loons is lol.
Town snipping is mega-lol.
Champs is not for you yet. When you get to 3100 cups get lowered already, it won't be close to easy.
Speaking as an "Inspire 8.2" member, going through C2 right now and hoping to get to masters this week, I've been using BARCH.
As a TH8 I've been carrying 50 barbs, 8-10 WB, and rest archers. 2 Lightning & 1 heal, plus king and CC.
You can take 50% of most TH8s most of the time, that's 31 buildings assuming 5 builders huts. I don't have to do too much work to get that 50%.
TH9? Those extra few buildings push up the required buildings to 36. Now it starts to get tricky. You have to look at the base and do that quick calculation about the number of outlying buildings, the range of the defences and your ability to get the "free" (i.e. unguarded buildings). For me, this is currently more hit and miss unless I come across a really badly designed base.
TH10? Forget it, thats 40 buildings you have to hit, with lvl5 troops. More walls and more defensive buildings make this nearly impossible.
Exceptions to the rule: If the TH is partially exposed or trapped, then I WILL go for it. I mean, I have barch, it's next to nothing to train (especially boosted) and has probably already built whilst I have been nexting.
Drop some barbs to set of the bombs/teslas so you know what you are dealing with, punch through the wall with the wall breakers and spam troops at the TH.
Drop the heal after the first mortar hit, throw in the BK if you have him/want to and hope the TH goes down under all the smoke and rubble.
It's not pretty, but it works.
I have thought about carrying dragons or hogs in this army, but that slows the build time down too much.
HTH in some way
Fastest way to champ?
GEMS
I'd say Barch or BAM, but that's 40 buildings at TH 10 you gotta deal with and that's almost impossible due to the range of the X-Bows (ground only).
Also, at TH 8 you have GoWiPe unlocked, but that takes a TON of resources AND time so I don't reccommend it... However it does work against TH 9's and possibly TH 10's.
If you're in a good clan like mine and have 25 spaces and your clanmates donate level 6 wizards, you might only get 2 starred by a TH 10 in the upper 2000's.
Good luck!
