Reported by Sandro Rodrigues, with comment by the champion.

In a GREAT weekend of VTES events, which took place at Versus Gamecenter Lisboa & Algés, we hope that everyone had a good time here! Friday March 14 had a draft with 30 players, Saturday March 15 was the Nacional with 57 players, and Sunday 16 was the GL/PT ligue with 41 players. Rodinei Camargo ended up winning the National (4 VP final) with 57 players from 7 different nationalities, with his deck “The Revenge of Ceoris”.

Standings before the final:
1. Rodinei Camargo
2. Filipe Henriques
3. Rafael Hilario Del Rosal
4. Rafael Rocha
5. Tamás Glied

Rodinei about the final: “I arrived in the finals in first place, and I chose to sit in front of Rafael Hilario's Tzimisce V5 deck to redirect the Govern bleeds to my prey Filipe Macieira, a mono-Dementation, and in the next, Tamas Glied, a True Brujah with Summon History Allies and Vote, because they had little intercept and did not redirect bleeds, and I tried to buy time to defend myself from the True Brujah's police actions.

My prey's Dementia vampires were aggressive, rapidly depleting the True Brujah's pool. Being down to seven pools already, the True Brujah was able to call the Remnant of the Endless Storm to attack my prey, play a Protect Resources, and use a multi-action strategy of Banishment and Voter Captivation to defend himself and increase his pool in a remarkable comeback

With Gregory Winter's blood steal and Muddled Vampire Hunter's rushes, Tamas prey Rafael Santo de Souza applied a lot of pressure to the Tzimisce; however, his Demention bleeds got deflected and eventually reached my prey.

The two Dementation decks were simultaneously destroyed by the True Brujah's explosive turn of Reckless Agitation + Ancilla Empowerment, which left the Tzimisce with two pools.

When it was my turn, I recruited Carlton Van Wyk to defend me against the Remnant rush and saved my predator's Baron from torpor so he could defend himself against the political actions.

As time ran out the True Brujah made the bold decision to go for his second VP. The Tzimisce fought valiantly and kept bleeding, but I was able to win by using bounces, Direct Intervention, and Delaying Tactics, and pressuring with the five Nephandus I was able to achieve victory. The True Brujah deck proved to be very strong and well played by Tamas Glied and was very close to winning.”

Final Score: Rodinei 4 VP, Tamas 1 VP.
