Brawl Report
Time to move on to brawl report. Here is how things went in the most recent brawl for PIZZA 2.

Brawl 1
Link: https://splinterlands.com?p=battle&id=sm_QFZoLyrvfjoPIwPPJfih&ref=vaynard86

I opted for a healing lineup while opponent River Hellondale. When I saw it, I regretted my choice as I realized I might not be able to heal as fast as I am taking damage.

Outcome: Lost! Should have opted for a more aggressive lineup like what my opponent picked.

Brawl 2

Noxious fumes ruleset, I put up Scavo Chemist and Forgotten One. I should have the advantage?

Outcome: Lost. While I fielded my favourite formula to counter Noxious fumes, the secondary equalizer rule set makes opponent lineup buffed which enabled longer survivability to outlast my lineup. Another pointer to take note for future brawls.

Brawl 3

Opponent actually fielded a heavy magic lineup for fire splinter. First time I see heavy magic lineup. I not sure what will happen. My Disintegrator won't do a big contribution against a heavy magic lineup.

Outcome: Lost. This is totally out of my expectation to face a heavy magic lineup against fire splinter. Djinn Inferni really doing a lot of punishment to my lineup.

Brawl 4

Already 3 losses, will my trustworthy water splinter lineup do its magic together with Relenor?

Outcome: Finally a win! Diemonshark on fire, dodging so many attacks while Nerissa zaps all big targets at sight, Relenor and Deeplurker shaving off big amount of health from the meatiest monsters on opponent side.

Guild Final Tally

I was having 4 matches of which I win 1 and lost 3. The 3 matches lost really gave me a lot of learning pointers which will help me with my future brawls. The magic fire lineup is the first time I see, salute to my opponent for using that.

PIZZA 2 secured 3rd place for this brawl. I hope I can improve my winrate to boost our guild chances of securing a higher placing next brawl! We can do this! Go PIZZA 2!
