**I made it to the top 16 in @clove71 & @clayboyn's Sunday Night Steemmonsters tournament, and I lost my game because of a stupid mistake...** ![battle of shame.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmXKN9eNiRJDZo1LE4iHroEm2oTBpyjaqvdRjEEVbuZus1/battle%20of%20shame.jpg) [Source](https://steemmonsters.com?ref=monstermother) I had made it into the top 16, which I had never expected, but then I did something so stupid that I can hardly forgive myself. In my 17-mana battle against @glory7, only melee monsters were allowed. I had put up a pretty good team with the monsters from the fire splinter, but with only 30 seconds left on the clock, I started doubting. I knew that the water splinter and the death splinter had a stronger attack, so I did something you should never do.

With only 20 seconds left, I changed my mind and switched to another splinter...

Of course, there was not enough time to decide which monsters to play. So I clicked the Skeleton Assasin and Elven Cutthroat, because I needed them in the team. Without looking at their abilities, I selected 2 other monsters. The moment I submitted my team I noticed I hadn't placed a 'normal' melee monster at the front, but had put the Animated Corpse and the Grumpy Dwarf *(yes, him - out of all monsters)* at the back of the line, so

there was no tank....

So stupid... https://media.giphy.com/media/3rgXBPgEKFjLdeE8Yo/giphy.gif [Source](https://giphy.com/gifs/gi-joe-stupidity-destro-3rgXBPgEKFjLdeE8Yo/links) I didn't even watch the battle. I clicked the 'Skip to results' button instantly. Game over, tournament over... Maybe I should consider it as another lesson learned... sigh... In case you want to watch my '**Battle Of Shame**', feel free to do so.
