If you're a new Splinterlands player, you've definitely bought the Spellbook. And now you set out to make some matches in the leaderboard. Now recently in your first matches in the Novice League you have automatic opponents who don't have a guild and start with `_SLBB_`. SLBB stands for Splinter Lands Battle Bot and is one of Splinterlands automatic opponents, so that you can quickly advance from the Novice League to the Bronze League and earn your first Cryptos. In your first matches you will have learned the mechanics of the game and with your new fresh knowledge you can fight against real opponents in the Bronze League.
