Hello everyone! I am here today giving you a little insight into the world of Tournaments I had so far and how great they are! You will have a lot of fun when you join a tournament. There is a lot of excitement in wondering who will win the next match! When I have large tournaments such as the past two Fierce Friday Tournaments, @clayboyn was keeping great track of the winners and @crystalpacheco30 too who are both awesome! While they were keeping things running nicely I was able to stream all the battles live on VIMM.TV. While I was streaming there, we also had contests in the chat. I would tell you in the chat which match to predict the winner and if you won then you got either a gold common card or a starter set promo code! @broxi is new to Steem Monsters and received a starter set promo code! @masterthematrix won a gold common card but said that someone else could have it so @broxi got it. A great example of showing some Steem Monsters love.

##### ***- Final Battle / Strategy / Tactics:***
The Final Battle for the 1st. Place against @glory7 was pretty exciting with Mana Cap 21 and the Battle Rule "Range and Magic Attacks have Snipe" in place. 
I went for the Earth Team plus Selenia Sky since she gives me a +1 Range Attack Bonus on my cheap monsters (Earth Element, Swamp Thing) and for my heavy Backup I picked the Spirit of the Forest. The Stone Golem in front is pretty defensive with his Shield ability and Armor.
As you can see from the picture @glory7 went for the Water Team + Selenia Sky and a big bad Frost Giant in the front.
Watch the Replay Battle and see how the fight went out. I think we both had great teams on the Battlefield, but he managed to tweak a little bit more power out of his Monsters than me.

Overall, I have to say that tournaments are really the main exciting part about Steemmonsters. Right now, the tournaments are organized by great Steemmonsters Veterans like @theaustrianguy, @therealwolf, @carrieallen, @crystalhuman, @clayboyn, @bountywolf and @clove71, but this is going to be upgraded in January 2019 to a fully automated Tournament system. 

The prize pools are going to be sponsored by private individuals, companies (thru advertisement) and the official Steemmonsters Account.Tournaments will be around for all different kinds of Monster Levels (Leagues) and Rarity (Gold or non-Gold).

There is a lot of things to be excited about Steemmonsters, and its not a payed to win only Game! Strategy, Tactics and good opponent research in advance makes the difference!

So, go get your Game-On as soon as possible, so you can learn and gain experience with the Steemmonsters Battle-System.

I wish you all a lot of fun playing Steemmonsters and hope to see you soon on the Battle Field!

yours @masterthematrix
