GP Cearense 2024

Played on December 15, reported by Márcio Pinheiro, VEKN National Coordinator of Brazil:

Once again, we have played the Cearense Championship, traditionally since 2013, being held in mid-December. 41 players from all corners of the state and our brothers from Piaui. It was an exciting 3 rounds, with two players with less than two years of playing in the Final.

Standing after round 3:
1. Lucas Teixeira 2 GW and 8,5 VP
2. Diego Rodrigues 2 GW and 7,5 VP
3. Bruno Hobbit 1 GW and 6,5 VP
4. Lucas Rocha 1 GW and 6 VP
5. José Felipe 1 GW and 5,5 VP

In the final, Lucas Teixeira put a lot of pressure on Diego, leaving Lucas Rocha free to attack José Felipe, who had to play against Malkaviano V5. The players then came together against Lucas Teixeira. Diego then took a vote that almost gave him the VP, but it hurt the rest of the players more than Lucas Teixeira, thus ending the union to remove Nephandus. Lucas Rocha went all or nothing, with Bleed, but José Felipe passed Bleed to Bruno Hobbit, who ended up leaving. Then Lucas Teixeira took out the others, guaranteeing 4 VPs and the Championship.
