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

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.

Two Dragon victories in a single weekend! And when many had counted them out. Especially in this top cut field full of Scorpion. It’ll be really interesting looking at the deck and seeing if Ralph’s is similar to Aneil’s from the Origin’s Kotei.
Shout out to the organisers of Bologna for having a sweet Hatamoto Area! One of the most important features at one of these events.

    1. Awesome, thanks for posting it, and Crane splash very interesting.
      More important, congrats on Hatamoto!

    1. Phoenix dishonour with backhanded! and Isawa Mori Seidō! Very nice. I bet that was a surprise for your opponents 😀
