@Tini @Stoney_Logica1 wait is that how that works? If you get first you stay in diamond? I've been bouncing around obsidian and diamond these past few weeks based on my level of motivation (and the number of 2x boosts I get)
You get an achievement for getting 1st. You can keep defending and stay at Diamond level if you care but there's not really an incentive to do so unless you want the gems/Lingots for 1st, 2nd, or 3rd.
@Stoney_Logica1 you get bonus gems for podium?!?!!
Yes. The higher the league level, the more you get for top three.

I tried just barely staying up in diamond for some weeks and I think (purely anecdotal) I then got paired with similarly slacking people. I also did the first lesson of the week as late as I could on the first day because then you enter a league with people that do that too, ie not the super competitive folks that rush into getting XP right away.
I ended up placing first in diamond with a very low score compared to what I've heard ppl need to get.
@BeepStreet this is the kind of insider mechanics I need to know lol
So many times I accidentally joined the super hardcore leagues bc I had waited until the last minute to do the last lesson of the week like the slacker I am, then got sucked into doing a bunch to try and rank up, and kept doing lessons as the week rolled over, thus putting me in with the people who started the new week right away. Now I know....
