Fantasiapelit will be beginning moving to the new location (to basically next door) in few days so this was the last possibility to organize a tournament in the venue in which we've held so many tournaments during the years. So Goodbye Sweet Dreams!

Esa-Matti's Stanislava was on the first seed by clear margin but decided to drop out as he was unsure if he had to leave in the middle of the game. Sad times!
But because of this Matias The Dark Horse got to the finals.

Seating in finals:
Tommi Hakomaa (Rebekka + Jost + Auspex + Presence) ->
Karri Malm (Corrupt Constructions) ->
Matias Frosterus (Ani Aus For featuring Trochomancy) ->
Tero Aalto (Tremere Big Cap) ->
Hannu Kokkonen (Old skool Lambach)

Some 75-90 minutes of minutes of preliminaries and Matias was ousted (at 100 minutes left on the clock he HAD said that "Ooops, I made a mistake. Now I've lost." Which surprisingly turned out to be absolutely true in the end!
Then Hannu and shortly Karri followed suit.
The heads up started with 8 minutes on clock and ended 5 minutes later with 3 minutes on the clock with Tommi beating Tero.

Congrats to the winner and thank you for everyone showing up for the, erm, wake (of sorts)!

Archon approved (duh!).
