Congrats Martin!
With Randy winning Day 1 it seems that Vikings conquered States.

3 inches sounds vaguely familiar...

Congrats to Martin!

James (Messer) seems to have a good weekend as well. In three out of four major finals and winning one of them.

Congrats for the win. I can`t really imagine how the hell did another Laibon deck win the major continental tournament AGAIN. Are those outcasts more powerful than the mighty camarilla ? Is animalism more powerful than dominate ?

Good seating and good play. I preyed on Martin one round, but was never able to go forward much (I did bleed him a couple of times) because I spent the entire game fending off my very aggressive predator. Had Martin been a bad player, he might have done something foolish like rush/otherwise mess with my predator to slow him, then die to me when his shields are down. Instead he played it cool and focused on his successive preys and wound up with 3.5 from the table (IIRC) while I hung on to the end.

Animalism or Dominate, it doesn't really matter. Martin's deck has lots of offense in it. Sometimes all you need is payload.

I belive that Martins seating into the finals and his ability to sit where he wanted to sit and let the table play its self was a huge asset for him. Really, as far as I understand there was 3 wallish decks, then his deck and then a turbo baron deck. He could sit down behind the turbo deck, knowing that the wall decks proberly would stop the turbo deck and make him able to get the Baron deck at some point. He did gets the win without ever casting a singel vote, and basicly just let the table work for him. Im not, in anyway, saying this a bad thing. Just that it was his understanding of the other decks, the dynamics of the game and his own understandig of his deck and situation that won him, imho. Not dominate, animalism, or anything else. I dont know the rounds leading up to the final, since I know nothing of them. But the final was won becouse os a deep understanding of the game and not becouse of a certain disiplin or a certain card or something.
