Welcome to coverage of the Penultimate Kotei! Houston is the last Kotei before the Grand Kotei at Gencon which ends the season. We have high hopes for this tournament as it is not locked behind a convention. This first pack of the elemental cycle is legal, so we will get a taste of what is to come.
The Seattle Grand Kotei, the first Grand Kotei in the US since PAX Unplugged. This is a 1-day Grand Kotei, so the top 2 of each clan will be awarded the Hatamoto title.
Bologna Kotei is the last of the European Koteis. Will Europe finally manage to shake the ‘pincer’ dominion of the Scorpion and Crab following the US example at Origins?
The Ohio Kotei, at the Origins event, is the first US Kotei under the restricted list. With only 43 players it is disappointingly small, but there are a few well know players at the event.
Melbourne is the first Kotei after the Birmingham Grand Kotei. The players will have seen what was successful during the testing grounds of Birmingham and hopefully will be able to refine and adapt. The expectation is that we’ll see Scorpion and Crab dominating the top tables but hopefully, Melbourne will surprise us!
We’re approaching the end of the Kotei season, and the ranks of Hatamoto worldwide has continued to grow. In this article, we attempt to compile a full list of all the players who have achieved Hatamoto, so that their victories might be known.
The Birmingham Grand Kotei is the first event using the restricted list, so we are paying special attention to this tournament. If Scorpion win we will be drinking our sorrows in the bar, if Unicorn win will be celebrating with drinks in the bar! Look, all I know is whoever wins, we’re gonna have a good time. …
This is one of two events happening this weekend. At last, the Kotei season is kicking off in America and we have a chance to see what the meta is currently like over there. These will be the last two events before the restricted list, so it’ll be our last chance to judge the post-disciples pre-restricted list environment.
