Veeery close to Champs League... yet need help

Hi guys.

I've been th9 for less than a month and I decided to push to champions league (well my whole clan is pushing, and I want to do my part as well).

Here's a screenshot of my profile http://i.imgur.com/ZYg22nk.jpg

Right now I'm in master 1 and I'm only 71 trophies away from champs.
I used BARCH until crystal 1 and then I started with balloonion. I went for the 2 stars until master 1 and now I'm using the surgical loonion strategy or whatever it is called.

My attack logs look like this http://i.imgur.com/cDSmUl3.jpg
and here's my defenses log http://i.imgur.com/tXnX3S6.jpg

as you guys can see, they are pretty much all th snipes and that's good (except for the fact that the trophies I lose on defense almost always equal the number I got from the last attack, hence making it pretty useless).

the matter is that, until master 1, I managed to get to the next league in only one day (it took me one day to get to the master 3 from crystal 1, one day from master 3 to 2, and one day from 2 to 1) but now I'm stuck since I cannot find good bases to attack.

I have to search for 20 minutes to find a match, sometimes I get to the 50% pretty easily, and sometimes it's very hard but I'm lucky and I hardly ever fail (okay this morning I failed and I had to work 3 hours to get to the point I was yesterday evening).

Anyway, do you guys think I should switch to another strategy? I don't care about the cost of the troops, now it's all about the trophies and there's no turning back until I reach champions league.

Should I consider switching to gowipe, gowiwi or things like that? I tried a couple of lavaloon attacks but I'm not familiar with them (since I only unlocked lava hounds yesterday) and I failed one, so I'd prefer not to attack with lava hounds because it's not worth the risk I guess.

I'm waiting for some advice from you guys, thank you so much! :)

Try and make sure you can get two or three raids in before you get hit. that way, you should get more trophies and go up.

Dont raid, log off, raid, log off etc. You won't go up much. Aim for 50% with no spells and you will be able to attack more frequently.

You HAVE to boost barracks, heroes, and spells. If you never lose any raids, you should easily be able to make 80-100 trophies in two hours of boosting. However, if you boost you have to stay online for 2 hours straight, because otherwise you will get raided and lose the trophies you gained. Also, put your townhall outside so you can get sniped from people at 3400+ trophies for like 1-3 trophies. Try doing 24 loons, 50 minions, which is a 12 minutes army with boost. Also, make sure you queue your barracks so that if it takes 20 minutes to find a raid, your next army will already be done.

Boost barracks and stay online. Being online is by far the best defence!

And don't panic! I got very nervous of failing attacks (as a TH9) when I was near the goal. But in fact being sniped for 1 trophy by champs players makes up for the increased difficulty of attacking. Once I was at 3200 I hung around for a week or more with ease.

Unfortunately I ran out of gems since I've been boosting everything for three days.

anyway, I always try to raid as many times as I can before going offline but, given that I don't fail (if I do, things become even more difficult obviously) I am only able to raid 4 times in 2 hours at maximum.

with loonions I cannot avoid using spells, tho

I use loonion for raiding and I only need to use one spell to ensure 50% most of the time. Some bases don't even need spells. I do have level 5 minions however.

pick easier bases to hit?

easy bases are becoming harder and harder to find as I approach to 3200 trophies

Once i got within 100 i started using gowiwipe to ensure a win. Its expensive but you spend less time nexting and will get there much quicker.

Gowipe if you want a secure win. Never really fails. ;)

with level 2 golems and level 3 pekkas, will I be able to at least 1 star a maxed th10?? really?

I just made champ yesterday as a late 9. As others have said, best advice is to stay online. I did a bunch of studying while tapping the screen every so often. Got to champ with a 3 star on another 9. Lol
Just be patient, if it takes 20min for a sure win, then so be it. Sacrifice a day to clash and you're done.

you dont need to boost, you dont need heroes and you dont need clan castle troops. just be selective of who you hit with balloonion and its a breeze. have your town hall cornered and hit anything th 8-9 for that 1-2 star. easy.

I DID IT!!!!!

This morning I got to champions league! :)
thank you so much to all you guys for the advice you gave me :D

If you have no gems, town hall snipes are the only efficient option for lower town halls. Stay online for at least 2 hours at a time just sniping and you should gain more than you lose!

EDIT: Congratulations by the way

Yep you damn right need help
