Thank you everyone for participating!

Joensuu remains a strong and lively town for VTES. Even if we didn't get any of the more recent new players to attend this time, we are still elated to see new faces pop up more or less regularly. No worries, a solid three rounds with 10 players have the potential for great VTES and a good time - as so often happens, this was the case here as well!

We had a very violent and block-heavy meta this time. For a full decklist selection, look forward to the tournament archival on:

www.vdb.im/tournament_analyze

The finalists were clear by the end of third round, with only one player (Mari) reaching the finals with no GW, but rocking a solid VP collection of 4 ousts. Pasi represented Jyväskylä with a more traditional Gangrel wall, this time with a solid punch of Animalism combat. Toni reached his first ever finals placing, as top seed of all things - his Banu Haqim had scored a respectable 2GW+9 in the preliminary rounds! Miska is a regular by now in Joensuu's finals, and we were happy to see Timo in there as well, as his deck selections can be spicy.



In 56 minutes of Garou Rim: Above the Law, two players are ousted: the hyper aggressive Malkavian and the leading Banu Haqim. Toni's Banus were tightly kept in check by both Howler and Christopher, no one willing to give the top seed any room to manouver.

Entering the three-way, the Smiling Jack is at 4 counters, and the Toreador and Howler go into a blur of violence, which culminates in the Famed Howler being torpored with Christopher Houghton's Body Flare! The Ahrimane take a beating in their pool, but the Toreador are duly forced into torpor in the process.



Even with the Smiling Jack ticking mercilessly, with so few vampires and so few blood to go around, Timo refuses Pasi's deal to do their best together to remove the Smiling Jack and try to wrestle the game in their favor together. After all, getting the oust nets Timo with a stack of pool to pay for a few more rounds for Smiler, and Miska's pool running dangerously low, the Aching Beauties are a serious threat. It is now just a matter of finding out which runs out first: Timo's Protean tricks, or Howler's wakes.

Howler (Miska Tanskanen) emerges victorious, after a tense and brutal duel with Timo's Protean Aching Beauty Toreador! By the skin of their teeth, Howler retained the high ground and with six counters on Smiling Jack, the first tournament victory was ripe for Miska to harvest!

Thank you again, everyone, for tight and interesting games, and a brutal and entertaining final game!
