UK Grand Championship
By Bazleebub | | Comments 2 comments
With 87 players, this is the first big tournament following the release of the Clan War expansion.
Details of the event can be found on Lotus Pavilion here.
The low numbers for Crane and Phoenix are actually quite surprising as are the relatively high numbers for Dragon. The top 4, Crab, Lion, Scorpion, and Unicorn, however, are all squarely in the running for top tier clans.
This tournament was tracked on Lotus Pavilion allowing us to easily look at the results and pairings and quickly generate charts. Consider supporting Lotus Pavilion at this Patreon page.
At the end of day 1 we have the top 16 players qualifying.
Definitely some surprises there. No Phoenix and Unicorn qualifying is a shock and Dragon getting 2 players in is even more so! This should make for an interesting day 2!
The winner is Marios Bounakis, aka Akodo Hato, aka The Red Lion!

*1 Revered General = He is Honored. Idk about Revered.. 😛
In future, I’m proposing decklists be submitted in LaTeX to avoid such confusion!
