Next Level Games December

Melbourne, Australia

On the 1st 12 players made it out to NLG for the finale Vintage event of 2012 to duck it out for a play set of GP Auckland Lotus Cobras and store credit depending on numbers. Even with a small number of people dropping out at the last minute (there were at least 2 alarms missed) we managed to get our biggest monthly event turnout for 2012. Congratulations to everyone who came along especially our newer players just getting their feet wet in this awesome format but a special congratulations to Weng Cheong who took down the whole thing with Metalworker MUD.
