It's a new Regional season, and it's time for a new predictions competition. Unlike last year, we're guessing who will be the Most Improved player by rating after the Regional. Just like previous years, the winner will get an Ambassador Foil, guesses need to be made before the day of the event, and non-Regional events during Regional season will be used as a tiebreaker.

San Diego Regional: San Diego, CA
Last Year's Attendance: 7 Players
Last Year's Winner: Thomas Vineberg
Preregistered This Year: Nathan W (1984), Johnny Holeva (1805), JD_Ashley (1473)
My Prediction: Nate got second at the recent San Diego Masters, I anticipate he'll take first this time, and the biggest ratings boost.

My Prediction: With Avery at 1322, she only needs to win a couple of matches to get a huge ratings boost, I think she can do it.

Give me Chalk on the west coast (Nasty Nate + Richard)

And give me ALL of the O'Reilly shares. Can't bet against Old School when he's rocking a sub-1600 rating. He's much better than that.

Completing achievements that aren’t top tier can drop a player’s rating sometimes

Indeed. My only question is why aren't YOU taking all the O'Reilly shares?!

Because I wasn’t so sure my Wolf 359/Sha Ka Ree deck would work. It nearly did...

Eric won the Orlando regional but I’m not sure who improved the most. I finished 3rd because Ted had some mod wins.

Eric wins the Orlando regional and cashes in a big +43 ratings gain. Congrats!

All other results are still outstanding. More to follow.
