I took #1 on Saturday, he took #1 from me and gave me 1:30 to go after he beat me. He's beatable in 60 seconds (as I assume most or all of our squads are on defense)Then I dropped to 25 which is the farthest I've dropped in weeks.
Then on my climb back to top 5 for our payout some random team played and beat me putting me back again. Them I messed up and lost my first match on offense in forever, was my own fault.
Then I took it personal and burned 3 50 crystal refreshes and was able to challenge Datt from the #7 and take #3 with only 1:45 to go. Beat him still had 20 seconds to go, was the most stressful day of arena in months.
Lesson learned, if you drop that far start at 4 use your 5 battles and only refresh once to get another 5 to get your top 3 rank.
