Bro,
Guide is only SHOULD come from experienced manager who win a lot of battles with high levels like July Forth...So Ur Thread Title is not appropriate when you are at only level 2..the Fresh level of all..
At level 2, U only need to meet the same level 2 opponent in CUP..U don't meet any level 3/4/5 so it is quite Easy..to be honest..U have long long way to go..Can say it is just very Fresh level in game[/B]...
And Sometimes formation is important But sometimes Troll stood up other side when they are stronger but simply bad luck.. No matter what they do...Not meant the weak team is better or his strategy is good..
If you all the way to Final beat all stronger and better quality or higher level opponents in CUP then your formation is vital...
Anyway, Congrats to your Win!!!
