**Well I give up!** XD

I was so confident at the start of this season about me placing myself on at least the top 10 in the GOLD Leaderboard, but as most of you probably had already expected, that is not happening.

I did manage to reach Rank #9 hours ago but that is most likely because the top players were busy or sleeping and did not play. At this point, I just hope I will hold my ground in the top 20 to get those sweet 10,000 DEC.

I think I did pretty well though since I won most of my matches during the last 4 days of season 50(?), with me losing only 3 times during those 4 days. But clearly it still is nowhere near enough. XD

As some of you might already know, I have a strict 25% Energy Consumption Rate or only around 27-28 matches per day and what that gave me during those 4 days were:

> 26 wins x +3 Battle Points = +78 per day Battle Points
+78 x 4 = +312 Battle Points

Lost 4 times the last 4 days and with -36 Battle Points per lost match that would be -144 Battle Points.

Yep! I won 104 ranked matches during the past 4 days and only got +312 BP increase. Lost 4 of my matches and yet I already lost close to half of the BP I accumulated during those 4 days. Lol Arghh

I don't know how those guys at the top in the leaderboard do this. I have seen players with less than 250 ranked matches and surprisingly they have been holding their ground at the top despite doing only a few matches. *Consider me jealous! XD*

Anyways yeah. Since my Energy Consumption Rate is now at 75% I will call it quits for today. A lot of things could still happen during these last 3 hours but hopefully that would be enough for Rank 12-20. 

If I fall down to 21 I most likely would be very pissed after waking up tomorrow morning. Lol
