It was a good field tonight with WGDX, Slaver, Belcher, Landstill, UWb Fish, Sui, Foodchain, a couple of different oath builds, Gifts.

The meta game here is shaping up well as we have gone from a 6 player test group/informal tournament scene to having over 16 players and full blown tournaments for the last month, and still growing.

Note:
Mods - Since this is a weekly tournament I'd like to keep the results here on this thread if possible. If not thats fine too.

[Mr. Fantazy]

It'll be good to see you again. It's totally mindblowing how well this has been received by everyone, good times.
