Dear Denizens of Issilith!
Can you believe it has already been two years since our first LAN Phageborn tournament? Yes, on the 16th of November 2019 at the Reboot Infogamer we held a Balance of Power tournament where Jeffrey Shih, better known under the name TrumpSC [TrumpSC], one of the most popular card game streamers in the world, took the first place! For those who couldn’t be in person with us, the tournament was streamed over our Twitch channel.
A total of 16 contestants were participating in this event and every player had to choose one of nine preset decks, each containing one preconstructed Aggro, Midrange and Control deck. That’s a total of 27 possible deck options! After the decks were chosen, the Swiss phase of the tournament began. At the beginning of each round, competitors had to ban one deck type for their opponent. In order to win a round, players had to win in a Best of 3.
All of our contestants fought valiantly but only four strongest remained: Groinkpff, TrumpSC, D0nkey, and Marja, with TrumpSC and Marja advancing to the finals. Because of the time limitations, there was an imposed ban on Control type decks for both players. All three games were played before TrumpSC emerged victorious, but it was quite the match!
If you wish to check out videos from the tournament and follow Trump’s rise to the top, you can do so on our YouTube channel [Youtube] and if the finals are what interests you, well, that starts here: 7:53 :20 .
We can only hope that we will see you all on similar occasions in the near future. Until then, feel free to join our Discord channel and become a Resident of Issilith by clicking on the following link: Discord!
Yours truly,
