Who would have imagined that a girl who got kicked in the first round will win this tournament? Well, I guess no one. Playing in a loser bracket has become my habit I guess. I remember the last tournament hosted by gala games. I  got defeated in the first round and then I had to play in a loser bracket and I won all through the finals. Seriously, that is a proud moment for me who defeated so many good players and won this tournament. 

### Rise of the loser bracket player

First-round my opponent was #bafi. I will be fair here I hardly play against Bafi so I didn't know what kind of player he is. My friend Burlarj said that I am lucky I got an easy opponent lolz but he killed me heck O nos :P XD

I am going to review my all battles. 

### Round 1 first battle

I won the first battle and I was sure that I will win this round but misfortune happens and In the second battle I got killed by a card I never used.

Ancient lich got me realised that no card is useless in the world of the splinterlands so I should be using it more often :P XD Dang I have it in my collection and mine is also maxed but I never used it because death is not my favourite deck. But now definitely gonna try my luck with this card.

### Battle 3

 Last battle same summoner same team. But battering Ram created a difference and also my undead priest is level 7 and I have one less hp and in such kinds of battles where you try to kill your opponent by reducing speed and health, Hp matters a lot.

I got kicked out from the first round. I thought the game is over and I should be concentrate on my other work. But suddenly I realised oh there is a loser bracket and I will have to play more. I already lost all interest in the tournament so I just started playing for the sake of the tournament. 

In the loser bracket, my first opponent was #gigas. Gigas was quite an easy opponent and I felt bad killing him because his cards were not maxed. Here you can watch this battle. 

[Xawi Vs Gigas](https://splinterlands.com/?p=battle&id=2354d4f5bf77f21b4adac7de1bddea3a6829c2a0)

loser bracket battles were Best of 1 so you had to play and win only one battle to move on to the next round. 

My next opponent was #thegreatskelly. It was a llama battle because of noxious fumes. I thought it would be a draw and we will have to play another battle but yes I won and moved to the next round. 

[Xawi vs Thegreatskelly](https://splinterlands.com/?p=battle&id=sm_tQShAwTHIwo0rshI8tCZ)

My next battle against #chaipmaister 

[xawi vs chaipmaister](https://splinterlands.com/?p=battle&id=859011473cf0d00aef54e0aaa59fab9c023b8ead). 

When I saw he used double heal I was like wth he got me but then my ruler of the seas saved me ;)

[xawi vs bandogge](https://splinterlands.com/?p=battle&id=e6f641dd47a17647500a9fc7654af9adbe45e1ca)

Same summoner battles are always luck. But I guess I made better choices in this battle this is why I won. After this battle in the next round, i had to play against ts-neoxian :P I was prepared if i lose it will be fine since it's ts-neoxian won, but I won luckily. 

[Xawi vs ts-neoxian](https://splinterlands.com/?p=battle&id=63dfb8871bc2665fc9830d013c449fa0a893db32)

My next opponent was #junokeo I was like O nooooos and they would be my last battle but i got him and won this battle. I went with Kron in the earthquake low mana game. I picked my monster so fast that later I regret i should have thought more about my choices but it is what it is. I was surprised when i saw he used Mylor against me lolz it was an easy win for me. 
[xawi vs junokeo](https://splinterlands.com?p=battle&id=2b17a93b80b297c8d26440795f6804335e9c0dbe&ref=xawi
)

My next opponent village people #hossainbd :P Damn, I got him by using kitty summoner. Well, I predicted he will be using water summoner so I was right ;)

[xawi vs hossainbd](https://splinterlands.com/?p=battle&id=0027ba121e2702184fddc30583400441a9e4b40d)

hey, playing in a  loser bracket wasn't that easy. I had to defeat all the pro losers of the winner bracket. 

My next opponent another pro #mellofello

[xawi vs mellofello](https://splinterlands.com?p=battle&id=ec0d7251678a2fb882fbfb75955e7a2d958c3807&ref=xawi)

Lost magic along with a 15 mana cap. Worst rule ever but I went defensive in this game and it worked and I won. 

After beating mellofello I and jacekw had loser bracket finals. So, in short, I played 2 finals :P In the loser bracket final was the best of 3 and I won straight 2 battles against jacekw and I still can't believe how I did it. It seems God helped me while making choices for the battles. 

[Battle 1](https://splinterlands.com?p=battle&id=903f4fd411ca0d18bab012d1e1c05defb5fc33bb&ref=xawi)

<div class="text-justify">

yodin vs yodin,  another interesting battle. It is hard to predict a battle where every monster has a blast ability. 

In the next battle, i went with Wizard of Eastwood. I wanted to remove the armour protection of my opponent and i forgot to use snare ability monster. My little mistake caused me lost this battle.

Total prize I won 760$  and an NFT trophy. I am feeling blessed. Thank you so much Zen sports for hosting such a great tournament. Looking forward.

Watched this on Twitch when it was happening and for some reason I felt proud seeing your whole Zensports journey. xD

The most memorable match for me was when you used the Llama-Solo Hydra match on a Equalizer match. Really thought you would lose that one but WOWW you won. Xawi so stronk!!! XD
