[Official] The King of Kings Challenge - FULL TIME!

[julien12]

Each match I've had today has been closer in score than from the first day. In most cases I am using the same formation and orders - against the same opponent formations - but seeing very different results. I am wondering if the automatic defense bonus the defending teams are getting (since their managers cannot attend) is increasing each day. Alternatively, if you beat a team once the defensive bonus goes up. Either way, if true, day three is going to be tough.

Depending which theory is correct it should change the strategy for the managers though. If the defensive bonus simply increases each day then we should challenge as much as possible in day one. If the bonus only goes up against teams we beat then we should balance the days a bit more and not win 6 - 8 trophies on day one but more like 3-4 depending on what the next highest guy is doing.

Anyone else having tougher KOK matches today?

Yes, I did, and I already asked about that here when I experienced it in the first second step of the first phase. It seems that the orders to beat the same teams changed too, at least the starting orders as they also change as the match progress.

Anyone else having tougher KOK matches today?

Yes, but not much. I still won all matches. 1st day, I played 9 matches with a goal difference of 49 and today I played 8 matches with a goal difference of 38.
