, ganador Magnus en disputada final de 1 hora de duración contra Smashsplitter.Agencia/Hastur gana a Sindicato/Hastur, sin sorprender a nadie, siendo las cartas más jugadas los Alaskan Sledge Dogs, el Descendiente de Eibon y la Motocicleta Militar. De nuevo ninguna sorpresa.
Os dejo con el report del propio Smashsplitter, supongo que en breve publicarán ambos mazos
om Won a very grueling battle with Agency-Hastur against me in the finals. I was playing Syndicate-Hastur.
I won 3 stories and lost the game because of bad luck. I won the first 2 stories and was close to winning the 3rd, when Tom won the story that made me discard a story. I will tell you that no game in a World Championship has been as close as this one. (Total time went over an hour) And while it leaves a bad taste in my mouth to know that I lost a game that I felt easily could have been mine, I was glad to be part of the game. Strangely enough, Tom's deck was not the best one I saw at Gencon. James Hata's Shub-Hastur deck was much better then anything in the Worlds tournament. I played 2 games against him after the tournament and lost 3-0 and 3-1. I will say that had I spent more time then one day building my deck, I would have probably went for Shub-Hastur as well. Shub is my favorite faction.
Cards that made the biggest impacts in the World Championship were Arctic Sledge Dogs, Jim's card, and Motorbikes.
Top 4 were:
1. Agency-Hastur-- Tom (Magnus)
2. Syndicate-Hastur-- John (Smashsplitter)
3. Agency-Misitonic-- Kip
4. Agency--------------Jason (New Player)
We had 4 players from the CCG days, and 8 new players that discovered the game after it changed to LCG.
It was a fun tournament! It was ran very well, and it appears CoC may be on the up side. The new players seem to have a lot of fun in the tournament. That is a good sign for the game. One big plus, was I believe this was the first Worlds in 3 years that did not have Broken decks in play.
Fun Facts of the Tournament:
1. No one played the Cthulhu faction! First time ever!
2. One player played Misitonic. Would have made the top 4 but made a critical mental error. Won't say who, but I will say I did that last year. Sucks when it happens to you.
3. Human factions dominated the Monster Factions. (exception is Hastur)
4. 2 people played Shub-Yog.
5. One played mono Yog.
6. The competition wasn't 100% male. (that's a first too) FFG should work on evening that out
