Posted Oct 29, 2018 (Boomsday)Feno beating Swidz in the semi finals was one of the most insane series I've ever seen. Beating odd warrior with both decks that are as unfavoured against it as possible was just unbelievable.

Posted Oct 28, 2018 (Boomsday)I've added the decklists of top 16 to the site now, you can find them here. For other decklists go to smash.gg brackets and click a matchup of your choice. It will open up a small pop-up window with match info and the decklists of both players.

Posted Oct 29, 2018 (Boomsday)That's only for HCT seasonal and yearly world championships. Besides, you'd only get 1 pack even if there was one because Justsaiyan did not advance to top 16 this time.
