Words by Rodrigo Iturrieta ("Faroock"), National Coordinator of Chile:

On October 27th, 39 Methuselahs participated in the 2023 South American Championship of Vampire: The Eternal Struggle, which was held at the Victorian theater Teatro Parque Cousiño in Santiago, Chile.

During the tournament, we had the excellent opportunity to show the game to the community of “Chile en Tinieblas” (Chile in Darkness), given that in parallel they were playing World of Darkness RPGs (Vampire: The Masquerade mostly).

Once the tournament was over, the day concluded with a masquerade grand ball, crowning a whole vampire-themed event.

Standings before the final:
1. Luis Espejo 2 GW 10 VP
2. Juan Oyarce 2 GW 9 VP
3. Sergio Ordóñez 2 GW 9 VP
4. Hernán Rodríguez 2 GW 8 VP
5. Daniel Bravo 2 GW 8 VP

Congratulations Hernán Rodríguez, 2023 South American champion! He scored 1,5 victory points, tied with Daniel Bravo. Juan Oyarce scored 0,5.

Final standings and all finalist deck list are available at bcncrisis: VTES South American Championship 2023.
