James had to cancel, but we did get the Maximum vs Ottaway and Matt vs Stormanimagus matches streamed as well.

Brian won 2-0, Maximum won 2-0, Stormanimgus won 2-0... All three were streamed as already stated so the videos sill be up soon.

Thank you again Brian! Glad I didn't make a fool of myself past the Duplicant interaction where multiple people missed stuff so I don't feel too bad about that!  Here is the archived stream with annotations in the description so people can skip to the matches they wanna see.

Also, we are going to be missing people for next week because of the N.Y.S.E so are people cool with postponing the matches for a week so they can be streamed?  Everyone let me know if that works otherwise we will be picking things back up for tiebreakers and the 10th slot tournament!

Just a note to the commentators: You can't snapcaster a force of will without paying UUU6. That is why snapcaster a force isn't really a play.

[Edit 2 - I think I ran 2 Swords in my list]

Boarded up to 2 Swords for G2.  They worked overtime that set.

Hello everyone! For this week since we have some players that attended the NYSE Open this weekend we are taking a break for the stream this week for R9.  Next week will be extremely exciting as we will wrap everything up, see the T4 and if we need to do any playoffs for seeding and find out who is in 10th place and pushed into the qualifier. 

So! speaking of qualifier the tournament will be streamed next Sunday, the 5th of July and I think it will be the normal time slot but we might go a bit early depending on what people can do.  Regardless, we will be losing our other commentator to the tournament and so I will be commentating with Jeffrey Buckingham for the tournament.  So, enjoy the week off, everyone who went to the NYSE Open hope you had a great time and we will see everyone in July!

Due to unfortunate circumstances, Jeffrey Buckingham will be unable to commentate tonight. So I will have to learn this "being a commentator" thing for everyone's enjoyment.

Due to forces outside our control we are finishing the T4 today! Sorry I thought I posted it earlier but looks like it never got pushed through. So short notice but we should be good to start in 20 minutes!

Ok sorry everyone. We were missing a player who we couldn't get a hold of anywhere so to keep the tournament fair as we had the same problem yesterday with a different player we are simply not going to stream the rest of the T4.  We will keep you updated on the results.

BUT! Sunday we are doing the Top 4 of the Main event which will be Matthew Gottshal versus James Saltsman which is a 3/5 matches to see who plays against Dave Kaplan and then who plays Brian Kelly.  So a but of a bust for the past few days but I know that Sunday will be very exciting!

Thank you all for your understanding.

[Space_Stormy]

Hello and welcome everyone! It is finally Sunday and that means we will be doing the Top 4 of Season 1! Tonight's best 3/5 matches will be between James Saltsman and the league creator Matthew Gottshall in an epic confrontation to see who plays against Dave Kaplain in yet another 3/5 matches for the honor of squaring off against the King of Ojatai, one Mr. Brian Kelly.

So! We are testing a new time slot so it will be 9est/6pst for matches so tune in at 8:45est/5:45pst for the pregame! Tonight since it will be a grind if it goes to 5 matches we will actually be having Brian Kelly join Kale and I for commentary!  So tune in for what will definitely be an exciting night!

Stream on in 30 minutes! Hope to see everyone there!

Season one is drawing to a close with this Sunday's match to see who gets to fight Brian Kelly in the finals!  Matthew Gottshall defeated James Saltsman in apparently his last match of magic ever with some very interesting metagaming his shops-centric opponent.  As stated in the stream we were very happy to have James in the league and we hope that he maybe finds magic again!  Although that is a pretty exciting match to go out on so either way I think everyone is happy.

This week we will have Matthew Gottshall continue his path to trying to win his own league against our second seeded player Dave Kaplan!  So, the 9est/6pst time slot worked well so that will be the standard for the league for now on.  So! Everyone please join us this Sunday (7/19) for some more best of 5 Vintage matches! Just 2 more weeks and we crown a champion!
