Praxis Seizure was a successful first tournament for the new Prince of Joensuu. Participants included familiar faces close and afar and two new players made their tournament debuts. One of the new bloods found herself in the finals!

This time it was Antti Penttilä who wrestled victory in the last minute from Simo Tiippana in the finals.

The finals reveal:

Simo Tiippana was the top seed with 1GW6,5. Seating was as follows:
1. Lauri Salmi - Tupdog & Nephandus
2. Jonna Immonen - Anarch Ministry
3. Simo Tiippana - Burst of Alonso
4. Toni Karjalainen - Nergal
5. Antti Penttilä - Anesthetic Saulot

First few rounds were brutal, as Lauri's Tupdogs put Jonna's Ministry into torpor with brutal efficiency. But as soon as Scourge of the Enochians hit the table, Tupdogs were put in a difficult position. And Antti's Saulot didn't make things any easier with his anesthetic touches.

Toni's Nergal did try his best to put pressure on Antti, but in the end it wasn't enough. Few big bleeds hit its target, but others were bounced and put Lauri in more precarious situation.

In the end, Nergal had to bend a knee when Simo's Alonso bled him out. By this time Jonna's Ministry had managed to crawl out of the pits of despair as Lauri had been put on the defence against Antti. Platinum Protocols started raining towards Simo, but he endured them with bounces.

Finally Lauri was ousted and the table was set for final showdown. As time was ticking away Antti had to double his efforts in order to wrestle the victory from Simo's hands. As there were only five minutes left, Jonna was ousted and Antti gained the upper hand in terms of points. A few more turns and it was over, Antti taking his first victory in Joensuu!

Victor gained his usual fame and glory but also some unique art:

Archon approved.

Congratulations for the winner. Thanks for the new Prince for seizing praxis with a tournament!
