This tournament was played at Patriot Games in Leeds on November 15. Report by James Freimuller, VEKN National Coordinator of UK:

We had 27 players total with a range of decks seen. Unsurprisingly for the UK, Path of Caine was the most popular but most V5 clans were represented.

In the final we had:
1. Martin Weinmayer 2 GW 10.0 VP
2. Michael Bennett 2 GW 7.5 VP
3. Mark Hammond 1 GW 7.0 VP 132    TP
4. Vincent Keenaghan 1 GW 7.0 VP 78 TP
5. Norbert Flasko 1 GW 5.5 VP

It was a well fought final from all contenders. Hardcore blocking put both Michael and Martin in a tough spot, allowing Norbert and Vinny to get quite built up. All those barons make it hard for Stani to pass votes. Norbert got the first oust, stabilising further.

With time running short, everyone else had to go on the offensive. Stani's Govern-bleed got bounced around the table to Mark. Martin made the tough decision to stealth it through on a back oust to stand a chance to still oust Norbert.

Some time after this, time ran out and Vincent Keenaghan stood victorious with 1.5 vp, the title returns to England and even a Leeds local!
