Here's my 74th Splinterlands Guild Brawl Report for PIZZA 2 The Deep Dish. 🍕⚔️🛡️

I'm keeping up with my Brawl reports being on time so far in 2023. I might have subconsciously made that into my new year resolution! 🤣 The Chinese New Year is also finally over, so that means my stomach can finally take a break from all the festive eating. 🧧🧧🧧

It's the ✨🏅✨Gold Foil Chaos Legion Fray no.12✨🏅✨ for the 57th week in a row for me.

The table below shows my accumulated tally of battles in Fray 12 since I first took it up 😁. 📊📊📊

---

Current Tally for the past 56 brawls
Number of Battles⚔️	Wins✅	Losses❌	Draw➖	Overall Win % ⚖️
164	100	59	5	60.9%

---

After last week's really nice run of 3 straight wins in a perfect run of (lucky) games, my win percentage has climbed steadily higher. Hopefully this good streak continues and I don't suddenly come crashing down to earth. 😜

---

I'm just slightly over 100 MERITS away from being able to afford my next Gladius pack. It's almost a certainty that the next brawl should bring in more than enough MERITS regardless of the score. Well, that's unless I screw it up big time and completely forget to take part in any battles again. 😱

🤞🏻🍀🤞🏻🍀🤞🏻🍀 Fingers crossed for a Gold Foil (Legendary!!!) I hope 🤣🤑 for my future Gladius packs. (or any packs/rewards chest for that matter 😉)

With all that said, lets FINALLY get down to a review and quick analysis of my battles 🧐⚔️🛡️, or in some cases where my opponent fled 🏃🏻💨 - non battles 😨.

_{As usual, I make an extra effort to rent ✨Gold Foil Chaos Legion✨ cards that align with my daily focus during Guild Brawl days.}

_{Hopefully Lady Luck continues to shine on me 🍀🍀🍀 and I don't get too many weird ruleset combinations which will completely screw up my limited Gold Foil selection of cards. (🤣 yeah, that's how terrible I am, to have to rely on luck for my wins)}

_{Some thoughts I have about my exploits in the Gold Frays. 💭🤔
I feel like I'm winning because my opponent has even less Gold Foil cards available to him than I do. Personally, I find it slightly flattering to me. The teams I field are definitely not the absolute strongest, but more of what is available to me.
It also doesn't account for HOW I win some of the fights though. I've realised that a fair number of them are from opponents who just gave up and did not even face me in battle. ⚔️⚔️⚔️
My choice of picking up the Gold Foil frays is to simply give the Guild a better chance at accumulating more wins, seeing especially that IN THE PAST, many Gold Frays were left empty. Even if I were to lose everything and win just 1 match, it would definitely help in securing a better finishing position overall. 🥇🥈🥉}

Link to BATTLE 1

"You have no Brawl battles due to a lack of opposing players in your Fray!"

Well, it looks like all my opponents have achieved a new level of "fleeing from battle". 🤣 Their troops just simply didn't sign up to the war at all! All I could do for the guild was to cheer from the side lines yet again. 😅

I hope my battle cries managed to win us some victories. 😜

📊📈📉My Overall Results📊📈📉

---

0 WINS/LOSSES/DRAWS ? A COMPLETE ZERO anything in fact. I was there but I had nothing to do at all! 🎉

I'm not too sure what to feel about this. On one hand, the lack of opponents means the guild is likely to be in a very strong position. But on the other hand, I feel completely helpless at not being able to do anything to influence the result at all. 😭

---

_{I feel it's important that Guilds are able to fill out all the frays - even the significantly "harder" Gold ones. It is very likely that most guilds (at our level) skip the Gold frays completely, or are unable to even field a team if they've got no Gold Foil Summoners. This therefore leads to a better overall score.}

PIZZA 2 Guild managed to finish in 2nd place! 🏆🏆🏆

It's definitely much better than the 4th place finish last week. Even so, I must say I felt a sense of disappointment. Having lost by just 2 wins and not being able to fight anyone at all made me feel really frustrated. It's an "IF ONLY" feeling where I might have been able to make a difference if I had someone to battle. 😡

Ah well, it is what it is though. Sometimes things just don't quite work out the way you expect it to. 🤷‍♂

---

On a sidenote, we've still got some unfilled frays too so...

BTW, PIZZA 2 is recruiting 😜 and looking for active players who can commit to attending every single guild brawl. Do hop into the PIZZA DISCORD if anyone is interested (or knows someone who is).

Great Job from everyone who took part in the Guild Brawls! I'm proud of you all! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
