    Haha! Yes, just too curious on the referral rewards, and also want to test out if my formation strategies actually works (main account team has very well-trained players, so cannot tell if it’s the team of players win the matches with good strategy, or just good players could still win despite the strategies).

    And there is no better testing setting than KoK where a level-1 freeloader team has no scout, barely enough greens & money to buy and powertrain 1 FT, all players play to their minimum potential without reduction of greys via promotions yet, and it’s the most competitive setting where the drawn opponents actually would try their best to beat us unlike friendlies.

    Main account could have a chance to win it without drawing 140%+ teams.
    Those other 3 starters should have no chance in any of the finals. Will be quite criminal if any snatches top-3 spot.

    Say we have our phone and IPad. Log on both devices with Guest IDs. Start both matches together. Finished both in 10 mins max with pre-match setup.

    Then log off and in via Apple ID & Facebook. Do the same with another 10 mins.

    20 mins per 2 hours on 2 devices is the most I would be prepared to do. Anything more is way too consuming when the grinding itself is so tiring and boring. Personally I like the tour tournament with both PvE & PvP with 3 free attempts earlier - a lot more fun.
    Winning is a form of art. Consistently winning is a show-hand of skills and luck.

    Nah all good man if you can manage it, good for you. I know managers who handles 10+ accounts, and it always fascinates me how they do it lol while im struggling with with my 1 account.

    coming to the main point regarding KoK why the grindy part of the game bothers me is that as a manager you have 7%-15% chance of winning anything decent (if you call the 3rd place reward in the final round a decent reward) by putting around 18 hrs game play time playing minimum of 54 matches(if you don't want to spend any tokens and your lucky enough to be one of the strongest in the draw) and yah rests as rewards will also balance out if you want to keep your team in shape for the event matches in between you official match and association matches. so as @EastsiderSG end reward isn't worth it for the man hours you have to put in for this event. and regarding your original post don't get me started how the reactive engine is acting for last few seasons. its a whole different matter to be discussed in other section in this forum.

    P.S. yes the matches played or game play time can be reduced if you are Lucky enough or don't have any issues spending tokens

    I know how active you are so shouldn't be an issue for you MI. Can't remember the last time I won a KOK, there is always a tanker in the finals so I usually end up in 2nd or 3rd. Yeah finals has pretty decent rewards but logging in every 2 hours is such a pain.

    I knew you would get what I mean. Am surprised your asso captain is able to do so well without manipulation. You should pick his brain unless he tells you to invest in special sponsor lol.

    hehehehehe i can't even remember when i won the last KoK as well. didn't play the last KoK event and before that i went for 1st place for first 2-3 days and let other win the final as those rest packs are more important then the player you win as the reward.

    and regarding my Asso Cap. we all have different play style. and personally I refuse to manipulate the draws and i don't find the charm in it. a 130%+ team playing against 109% all season long will make the game boring for me. he has his own style own team buildup method as i have my own . but i like your formation I named it "the flayed man" formation lol

    Well, it is very true that the rewards would not meet the effort except first 2 prizes (3rd is so measly that we could have done without for the time spent alone).

    For experienced and high level managers like you, greens is the single most important currency, so anything that cost unnecessary greens should be avoided and rightly so.

    Low level accounts are still in the process of accumulating enough Ts for bidding for FTs (50T to them is a huge amount), so winning extra Ts from whatever way is needed, even when it means replenishing conditions after matches to stay at 85%+ all the time. Free 5-7* players from tour event is like goldmine as it saves some 15T plus needed money. 9* player may not be used for more than a season in my main level-4 account though with well-built 7-8* players with a fine balance and working chemistry already (sounds ridiculous but that’s how it is). Main account wants 2nd price with T more than 1st price with player (again absurd but it is how it is lol).

    Level 4: would play in finals with a chance of top 2
    Level 1s: unlikely to participate unless in a lucky draw with a chance of top 3

    Haha. It is possible though. You could win. Maybe not on all accounts but I reckon some might have a chance. Hopefully you get drawn with other lower level players so there isn't a massive disadvantage in terms of resources. And the free player would definitely be useful for level 1 teams.

    Looks like I need to create another account as well. Some of the referral tasks require new accounts to complete.
