Win rates for day 1
If you look at the number of games played, you’ll see it is small enough So let’s not be drawing too many inferences from it. Nonetheless, as the data is there on Lotus Pavilion it is pretty easy to run some charts and it’s always fun 🙂
Day 2 bracket starts off with 4 byes for Marcos, Marcin, Piotr, and Davide. Off to a strong start for Scorpion.
Finals are in progress, Ralph playing Dragon versus Piotr playing Scorpion. And Dragon take it! Congrats to Ralph.

There is a mistake in top bracket. Marcin won against Alain.
Fixed it, thanks!
Another mistake in the top8 bracket: Davide won against Luca. 🙂
Damnit! Thanks. I think maybe I was too excited by Dragon doing so well 😀
Also, congrats on top 4! Don’t forget to publish your deck list 🙂
It’s absolutely not fancy or original in any way, almost a stock list cloned from those raging around in these last koteis post restricted list.
Anyway, for the sake of completion, here is my decklist:

Phoenix dishonour with backhanded! and Isawa Mori Seidō! Very nice. I bet that was a surprise for your opponents 😀
Yes, it’s not a conventional Phoenix ?
But unfortunately the surprise was only in Day 1.
