This sunday there was a tournament for a Black Lotus in Copenhagen, Denmark. It was sort of special:
You had to qualify for the event. You could qualify in 3 ways,
1. Win the monthly vintage-tournament.
2. Write an article or report for the stores webside. The staff would then chose the best article every month and the author of it would qualify.
3. Place top3 in a last chance STANDARD qualifier.
So there were 11 who had won a tournament (No monthly tournament in december), 10 people qualified by writing for the website, and 3 people qualified a week before the tourney itself.
At first it was ment to be:
3 Rounds vintage
3 Rounds Standard
3 Rounds Limited
Top 8: Vintage
But it would be weird playing 9 rounds with only 24 people (and pretty hard), so they cut the limited part. In the end, 21 people showed up. Kenny Öberg from Sweden won. The top 8:
