Niall won the pre-release with his Dominion deck! All the players really like what they've seen of the new set!

Thanks for hosting Paddy :)

Yup. We got a preview of the new set and I managed to sexecute some very tough competition to earn some preview cards as prizes.

1E players: you are in for a serious fucking treat when this set gets released.

Special mention for Ludwig - went undefeated in 1E all day, yet didn't manage to win either of the tournaments!

Does anyone have any updates or commentary on the 2e day one results? I see that Slaby won with a pile of modified wins, the Brits were all stacked up on the wrong side of the bubble (except Doug, who cruised to a 4th place finish), MVB and Justin BARELY got in finishing 8th and 7th respectively, and my pick to win, Soren, unfortunately had a rough day, but the other two Danes made the cut.

I would love to get some (any) commentary from anyone who was there. What was Slaby playing that did so well but couldn't notch full wins?

Brian, I was having iPad issues yesterday, hence lack of commentary from me!

2E was top 50% qualified, not Top 8 but Top 10.

Top 10 2E Finalists (with affiliations where I remember)

10. Daniel Giddings [SF]
9. Matt Slade [Fed] [Fut]
8. MvB [TOS]
7. Justin Ford
6. Benjamin Liebich [Baj]
5. Peter Moller [TNG]
4. Doug Hughes [Rom]
3. Morten Sandberg [Fer]
2. Johannes Mette [Kli]
1. Stefan Slaby [Voy]

I know that 5SV took first place, but that's nine different affiliations in the Top 10, which is great to see.

Question for today... Slaby won all 7 of his games yesterday BUT he had two earned Byes, and only had one Full Win with four Modified Wins. Will he play 5SV again, when having potentially 4 Modified Wins is a risk...

1E updates:

OTSD is on round 2, we have 12 players, 4 rounds to a finish.

But news from the 1E day 2 finals: Players agreed to drop the final confrontation so just 3 round Swiss to determine a winner. Ludwig has beaten Alex, so Ludwig will face the winner of Johannes vs Arjan in the final...
