I can only speak for myself, but as a first time clan member (and I am not the only one), this challenge has been great training for me. We have exceeded our expectations, but we didn't know upon embarking on this challenge that this would be the case. Most of the more experienced (in challenges) have taken a back seat. We might be considered out of TLW's league, but with so many new players and with some of our top players retiring, we felt caution was the way to go. I for one would have been intimidated to face a top 10 clan for my first time out in a clan challenge.
And why am I getting the feeling this is somehow considered dishonorable? We are giving another up and coming clan an opportunity. We have much more to lose than they. As for the outcome, believe it or not, luck is a factor. I have respect for TLW game play. There were many close matches.

No! We enjoyed the snark
Also, what is all the secrecy about the next challenge? If these two challenges are your warm-up for THOTA...good luck with that

THOTA has other things to worry about. It's not them

Enjoyed it as well, not so much the losing, but we see as a clan that there is still some work to do so that we will be able to win on a consistent basis, against any team in the future.
