Ever since 2v2 was introduced in Clash Royale, players have constantly been in demand for the 2v2 ranked mode. Now, after a long wait, the developers have introduced? a dedicated v2 league in the game, but issues led to its temporary deactivation. 

This article will tell you everything you need to know about why the 2v2 League in Clash Royale was temporarily deactivated.

All possible reasons for 2v2 League temporarily deactivation in Clash Royale

Game crash

The biggest reason for the deactivation of the 2v2 League for a short period of time is due to the game crashes that are occurring when you invite your friends to play together. The fact that players can’t inv??ite their friends for 2v2 matches has caused a lot of frustration in the ?community. People are really upset about it and are hoping the developers will fix the issue soon.

Zero gold

When you win a match in the 2v2 League, you donâ€?™t earn any gold, which is one of the main reasons th??e developers decided to temporarily disable the mode.

But here’s something you need to know: it is just a visual error, and you receive the desired amount of gold you get by ??winning the match. It is expected that the developer will provide the fix very soon.

No season tokens

Basi??cally, when you win three matches in 2v2 League, you are supposed to get 800 season to??kens, which is unfortunately replaced by Wooden Chests in the chest cycle. So, if you have claimed the Wooden Chests already, it is expected that the developers will provide you with a way to get the season tokens.

Clash Royale has recently launched a unique challenge called Spo??oky Chess Challenge, where troops will be held as chessboard pieces. Your goal is to checkmate the opponent’s king, aka destroy the king tower. 

This challenge is very tricky, as you can’t use any? spells with high damage, such as Fireball, Lighting, Rocket, and more, to damage the chessboard pieces. 

To help you beat this challenge, here is a list of the best decks you can use in the Spooky Chess Challenge in Clash Royale.

Best decks to use in Spooky Chess Challenge in Clash Royale

Goblinstein RR FM FC

• Goblinstein
• Flying Machine
• Royal Recruits
• Firecracker
• Tornado
• Zap
• Giant Snowball
• Rage

First of all, it is pretty clear why t??here are fo??ur spells in the deck. If you don’t know, basically we are going to keep using these spells to oblierate the spawns, rooks, and bishops until we finally have isolated the opponent’s king and queen in the chessboard. 

Since Dark Prince is spawned after every certain moment, your goal is to gain an edge over your op??ponent's Dark Prince, and every time you do take ??an edge, you have to build the pressure with Firecracker, Flying Machine, Royal Recruits, and Goblinstein.

Make sure to position the Firecracker correctly so that she can hit Dark Prince as well as other troo?ps with her AoE damage. With that said, your best bet of defense is Goblinstein and Royal Recruits since they can easily help you take down enemy units. Just make sure that you keep cycling the spells.

Goblinstein MK Phoenix FC

• Goblinstein
• Mega Knight 
• Phoenix
• Firecracker
• Mirror
• Giant Snowball
• Zap
• Rage

In the Goblinstein MK Phoenix deck, you have to prioritize defending with the Mega Knig??ht and Firecracker. Your chances of winning depend on how well you are defending the opponent’s troops and Dark Princes. But here is the main thing: don’t use Mirro??r for troops unless it is absolutely required.

However, that doesn’t mean you can’t use the Mirror for an extra troop, but use it only when you are absolutely certain that you will have the upper hand, like inc??reasing the number of forces in you?r push. 

You can also?? have an incredible offense, thanks to Goblinstein and Phoenix. In other words, yo??u are good to go with this deck since this deck provides less room for errors.

Goblinstein Cart FM Nado

• Goblinstein
• Cannon Cart
• Firecracker
• Flying Machine
• Tornado
• Zap
• Giant Snowball
• Goblin Curse

In the Goblinstein Cart FM Nado deck, you have to keep cycling the Giant Snowball, Tornado, Zap, and Goblin Curse?? to inflict damage to the opponent's chessboard pieces. You can use Goblinstein as bait to distract the opponent's troops and Dark Princes. However, the best way to get an advantage in defense is by using the Flying Machine and Canno?n Cart.

My best advice is to focus more on Can?non Cart rather than using Flying Machine because since the whole arena is totally empty in the middle, ?you need something that can distract troops that only target buildings, such as Goblinstein Monster.

?In offense, just keep spamming Goblinstein in the mid?dle of the arena so that all troops from either side are distracted, and couple it with the Firecracker and Flying Machine to eliminate any enemy push.

Monk Cart FM Nado

• Monk
• Mirror
• Cannon Cart
• Flying Machine
• Firecracker
• Zap
• Tornado
• Rage

If you are unsuccessful in defending with one of these aforementi?oned decks, maybe you should try this deck. Why? Because you can use Monk to push back enemies and save your king and queen. To double the defense, you can use the Mirror Monk to further stren??gthen your defense. 

The best thing about this deck is that you can use the Monk’s deflection ability when it is near any chessboard pieces. Basically, he will deflect all the attacks of the enemy units back to them. So let’s say four chessboard pieces are attacking Monk; in that case, there is a huge chance that he will destroy all four of?? them with his deflection ability.

In defense, use the Cannon Cart and Flying Machine combo to save your chessboard from any push, and keep using Firecracker as a support unit. You can also use Mirror if push comes to shove, but you better save it for spamming the spe?lls over the opponent’s chessboard pieces.

Goblinstein is a new champion card that was released in Clash Royale. Like every champion card, it also comes with the ability “Lightning Link�that links the Goblinstein and the Monster. Upon linking, any enemy cards will ge??t electrocuted upon touching the perimeter of the link. 

Goblinstein is already making waves in the current meta, and people are looking for the best decks to use in the game. To help you with that, here is a comprehensive list of the best decks to use with Goblinstein in Clash Royale.

What are the five best Clash Royale decks for Goblinstein?

Goblinstein Ram Rider deck

• PEKKA (Evo)
• Zap (Evo)
• Goblinstein
• Ram Rider
• Ice Wizard
• Arrows
• Skeletons
• Tornado

Goblin??????????????????????????stei??n Ram Rider is probably the deck of the lot, as it has everything you need. Starting with offense, the PEKKA and Ram Rider combination is already lethal, and with the Goblinstein, it becomes overkill. Your main line of attack is Ram Rider, and you have to leave the job of an all-rounder to PEKKA.

For defense, you have the solid combination of Ice Wizard and Tornado, which complements your major defense card PEKKA. In case your opponent drops swarm troops, Arrows is the answer. Goblinstein is also a golden all-rounder and should be your priority in terms of defending against the attack of enemy tro?ops. Use Skeletons to distract the enemies so that PEKKA gets some breathing space.

Goblin Giant PEKKA deck

• Goblin Giant (Evo)
• PEKKA (Evo)
• Goblinstein
• Fisherman
• Bomber
• Guards
• Rage
• Arrows

The Goblin Giant and PEKKA combo attack is a lethal push, which has a sl?im chance to cou?nter. You can complement this push with Bomber and Rage to make it completely unstoppable. 

For defense, you must know how to place Fisherman strat??egically as he pulls his enemy towards him. Try to use P??EKKA to tank the enemy push and use the guards behind them to catch them off guard. You must keep Arrows in handy in case you are overwhelmed with swarm troops. 

Mortar Miner deck

• Mortar (Evo)
• Miner 
• Goblinstein
• Bats (Evo
• Cannon Cart
• Goblin Gang
• Ice Wizard
• Arrows

The Mortar Miner deck has good potential to help y?ou climb ladders in the ranked mode??. For offense, use the Mortar and Goblinstein combo to directly attack the enemy’s towers. Use Bats, Cannon Cart, or Goblin Gang to defend your Mortar. Make sure to keep using the Miner for some extra chip damage that can help you destroy the tower more easily.

For defense, use the swarm troops, such as the Goblin Gang and Bats, to overwhelm your opponent. Ice Wizard might be a little weak in combat, but his ability to slow enemies can come in handy. Also, keep using the Goblinstein to weaken the enemy? push.

Goblinstein Hog 2.8 Cycle

• Hog Rider
• Goblinstein
• Firecracker (Evo)
• Earthquake
• Cannon
• The Log
• Ice Spirit
• Skeletons (Evo)

Anyone who is using the Hog 2.6 cycle will have a basic idea of how to use the Goblinste??in Hog 2.8 cycle. For offense, use the combination of Hog Rider and Ice Spirit to do a? push, and make sure to use your The Log or Earthquake in case your opponent counters it with swarm troops. 

For defense, use the combination? of Cannon, Firecracker, and Goblinstein to defend the enemy push. Keep using the Ice Spirit for defense as it freezes the enemy push for a second. Your defense will become even stronger as you move into ??2x Elixir or 3x Elixir mode. 

Goblinstein RHogs deck

• Goblinstein
• Giant Skeleton
• Royal Hogs
• Royal Ghost
• Fisherman
• Arrows
• Bomber (Evo)
• Skeletons (Evo)

In the Goblinstein RHogs deck, you don’t have to use the Goblinstein as? an all-rounder. Your sole objective in this deck is to keep pushing with the Royal Hogs. For offense, use the combination of Giant Skeleton and Royal Hogs, and since it is such a big push, the only way to minimize it is with the swarm troops. Don’t worry, you can easily deal with them with Arrows.

Once you have taken the enemy’s tower, all you have to do is defend until the time runs out. What’s even better is that you have better defensive cards in your repertoire that ??can help you defend against any enemy push easily.

Fo??r defense, use the combination of Bomber and Fisherman to split the enemy push. Also, on top of that, you can even use Skeletons to distract enemies. You can use Giant Skeleton, Goblinstein, or Royal Ghost to tank the enemy push.
