The finalists: Saito, Oscar, Gino, champion Gonzalo and Zapi.

Reported by Daniel Bravo, VEKN National Coordinator of Chile:

On April 27th, the GP1 was held at the Atenas store, located in San Bernardo, Chile. The tournament featured 16 players, and the rounds proceeded smoothly without major issues. It was a relatively quick and highly competitive tournament, as all rounds had gamewins and some points were distributed.

Standings before the finals:
1. Gino Sepulveda 3 GW 10.0 VP
2. Oscar Guerrero 2 GW 8.0 VP
3. Gonzalo Rojas 1 GW 7.0 VP
4. Gonzalo Andrés del Río Díaz 1 GW 6.0 VP
5. Miguel Angel Vasquez 1 GW 6.0 VP

The final table consisted of Saito with his Politic Toreador deck and his new 30th Anniversary Crypt, Gonzalo del Río with his Ventrue Antitribu Grinder deck, a true classic, Oscar with Tzimisces from Group 2, another nostalgic deck, Zapi with his new Tzimisces, led by Ángel Guerrero, and our good Gino with his Gangrel Anarchist deck.

A few minutes after the start of the final table, Zapi, with his powerful bleed cards, left Saito in a bad position, but he decided to do political damage to his predator, which caused Zapi to leave the table. The pressure from the Gangrel caused Oscar’s Tzimisces to leave, eliminating the clan entirely from the final table. The table became very tense with the remaining three players – strong politics and table control, along with blocks – pushed the game to its limit, allowing the Ventrue Antitribu Grinder to find an opening and overcome Saito and Gino, winning the tournament.
