Group A with Dog, ek0p, Forsen, and Faramir starts in just under 11 hours. #Hype!

I'm in hope for Kolento. Everytime you think his deck doesn't make any sense, you see him play unbelievable things, which is why I like him a lot.

Jesus, four German Players! :O

Which Players didn't get automatically invited?

I should vote for a German player but my favourite one's missing. :D Kolento is the one to beat but I'd say everyone has a chance to win.

Ropecoach?

Yeah our coach for daily issues is missing :(

No revenge for Heroes of Cards but Im rooting for Kolento anyways.

This will be grear nontheless because except one or two anyone can win this

My favourite German player is Theude, just to answer futhead_IamPd's question. 

But back to the topic: Poor Forsen! Challenging your luck if you're behind is a bad idea though. Anyway, I just realized Group A and B a mixed up in the main post.

I think he did a pretty good job!

3 ppl had to qualify and players like dog for example arent in every tournament, so if your tired of seeing the same ppl then go watch the qualifiers :)

Or one of the plenty open tournaments that are streamed partially by participants or last rounds by organizers.

Back to the tournament: Kolento's out and the remaining players are Dog, MasSan, Gaara and Faramir.

Sorry about that. There's a bug on the forums currently which is removing the CSS from the post. It's being investigated.
