This was not a national or continental championship, but we got this nice report, so we might as well include it here! :) Reported by Daniel Bravo, VEKN Online Prince:

On August 31 of this year, the Chilean VTES community celebrated the Twilight Camp 2: Descent into Darkness tournament. The Twilight Camp tournaments are an annual event organized by the VTESConce community in conjunction with the Barony of Santiago, held in the coastal town of El Tabo, offering participants the opportunity to stay overnight.

The Twilight Camp tournament has become one of the most anticipated events for the Chilean VTES community, due to its location and the atmosphere created in each edition. This year, Twilight Camp 2 became the tournament with the most participants in VTES history in Chile to date, with a total of 40 players across 8 tables.

The winner this year was Walbert Ibarra, who emerged as the best player with a combat/bleed Banu Haqim deck in a final table that included Aurelio Zamora with a bleeding Malkavian deck with Dominate, Juan Rodríguez with a Ghede deck, Iván Gómez with an anarchist Gangrel blocking deck, and Boris Aracena with a Followers of Set bleeding deck with Dominate.

The winner's account for this year is as follows: “The final table was in a tense balance, with each player being careful and intelligent in every action. No one was looking to take a clear advantage over the table. The turning point came when my prey, who was a bleeding deck, could eliminate their prey, another bleeding deck. At that moment, I decided to control their vampire and easily sent it to torpor. At that point, my predator, who had a Ghede deck, came for me since I had tilted the table in my favor, and it was the right move. Once in combat, I maneuvered back three times, using Hunger of Marduk + Lightning Reflexes, stealing 10 blood from Ghede along with a shot from the Magnum, which set the table in my favor.

As for playing, you control your first predator, using them as a blood bag. You concede that point while gradually damaging your prey but letting them play forward. When they are about to eliminate their prey, you finish them off. By that time, you should have your second predator with you, and you repeat the process. It’s a deck that bets on killing two, gaining the table point, and the GW.

It was a very good event. Each event aims to create a particular excitement, and this event generated camaraderie and friendship. The location is beautiful, the weather was sunny and great, and the organization was a 7 out of 10. I left with a great impression, and we need to keep supporting these initiatives.”
