The seventh edition of Tragic Love Affair took place as a side event for the Finnish Nationals. Whereas the Nationals had a somewhat surprising political meta, one might have expected the side event to lean more towards combat. The reality was actually quite bleedy, but there was huge variation: while the fastest table finished in 38 minutes (with five players!), there were others that timed out completely. The final was one of the latter.

The final table:

1. Joona Tuominen (New Lasombra bleed) 0,5
2. Bram van Stappen (Tremere Salt of Thoth) 0,5
3. Teemu Sainomaa (Stanislava rush) 0,5
4. Tommi Hakomaa (Imbued rush) 0,5
5. Otto Kallokoski (!Salubri Hide the Heart) 0,5

Congratulations to the winner, who will post the deck list shortly!

Deck Name: Teemu's backyard party
Description: Similar to my first Salt of Thoth deck but this one doesn't suffer from scourge and plays more defensive

Was a cosy vtes afterparty of the nationals; well organized as always; great venue ... just too bad some swedes ran away to the ferry instead of facing the terror. Hopefully next time ...

Archon approved

Congrats for the winner and thanks for the Prince for organising!
