Based on the original report by Lithuanian NC Nerijus Mikalajūnas, found on VEKN on Facebook (with more of the great photos by Marko Saari):

23 players from 6 nations (Lithuania, Poland, Finland, Belarus, France, and the UK) met up at the Wargamer Club in Vilnius on Saturday, February 24th. The tournament is held yearly this time of the year to commemorate departed VTES player Julius Stonis, now also depicted on an Anarch Convert card.

Note the very nice event exclusive playmat visible on some of the images above!

Standings after the first three rounds:
1. Tomasz Kloczko (2 GW, 8 VP)
2. Nerijus Mikalajūnas (2 GW, 8 VP)
3. Lech Ivanov (2 GW, 7 VP)
4. Michal Krupa (1 GW, 6 VP)
5. Bartosz Kalinczuk (1 GW, 5 VP)

Congratulations Bartosz Kalinczuk, new Lithuanian champion, who won the final after only 45 minutes (championship record?!) with 4 victory points. Tomasz Kloczko got 1 point. As you might remember, Bartosz also won the 2023 Grand Prix final, so there is a very good chance he actually is the best player in Lithuania ;)

Played in Fortaleza, Brazil on December 16. Words by Marcio Pinheiro, the Prince of Fortaleza:

In yet another Cearense Championship we had the participation of 55 players, 9 cities, 6 states and three regions. 11 tables, 3 rounds and the final with 1 representative from Paraíba and 4 from Ceará.

Joab managed to make 3 GW and went to the final first with a Gangrel V5 deck, second Lucas Raphael with a Blood Broder with viscissitude, third Bruno Hobbit with a Blocking Saulot, fourth Pablo Andrade with a Black Hand multi actions and lastly Mailton Silva with a Tremere Block.

Until two hours into the game the match was heading towards a draw, but in one move Joab puts a vampire with Pablo's Fame in torpor, meaning that instead of Mailton he just passes the turn so that Bruno loses. During Pablo's turn, using his various minions, he managed to kill Joab by bleeding, and then the time was up. So 1,5 VP for Pablo.
