Nice to see good amount of players and also players, who have played only a few tournament games.

We had pretty fast first two rounds and only time out in tournament happened in the third round.

It was notable that at the third round, one player ousted full four player table in single action, never seen that before! Anarchist uprising and poison pill involved in that shehanigan.

All in all, players had taken fast and aggressive decks with them to the table. There were no wall decks and all most all decks could only take 0-2 intercept. Turbo Nergal was 6th in standings. Lasombra S&B and Unnamed took 0 vp, clearly enviroment in this tournament was though!

Final decks:
G2-3 DEM S&B (first player)
Anarch Brujah Debate
New Toreador princes
Tupdog&Nephandus
OBF Voter G3-4

Final was pretty interesting in my opinion and power shifted around the table. Scourge of Enochians really hit the Tupdog&Nephandus and early bleeds from DEM made sure, that Debate would not get more than two vampires. Still, first hour was a nailbiter on how this would go down as alliances shifted around the table. Two decks were voting and there was about 18 votes around the table so maths had to done.

Debate was trying to make a dent on Toreadors but with no succes as they had decent amount of for prevention. Even Nephandi were in trouble with stick striking Toreador Law firm. Toreador were the real combat monsters!

The table fell in rather fast succession as DEM, Tupdog&Nephandus and Debate were ousted in few turns time. Toreador had far better bleeding strength than OBF voters even though Lutz was there. Toreador came on top and took praxis in Hämeenlinna!

Congratulations for the winner and thanks for all participants!
