I'll leave it to the players who were in their matches to report on those, but for my part I can say that this was the largest tournament we've now had in Idaho for State Championships! Registration got off to a great start with a healthy mix of players all throughout the registration process. Utah made a terrific showing, with Idaho bringing in even more players than last year for a total of 79 for the event! Breakdown from memory was 21 Juniors, ~26 Seniors and ~32 Masters.
We got off to a great start with no problems. Rounds progressed nicely and we had tons of fun with randoms, courtesy of Jim and even a couple media journalists later on! It was great to see an even mix of players in the top ranks of each division. And while many expected decks did make their appearance, we saw a lot of great rogue decks that were able to hold their own in the format.
All in all a completely fun event!!
Igor returned to defend Idaho's 1st place title for them in Masters (until next year)
Justin took a well-earned 2nd place. Amazing play and great strategy.
Brandon also managed to hold 1st place in Seniors.
Kyle returned for 2nd place.
Drake managed to take 1st place in Juniors.
Zach was hot on his tail at 2nd place.
Utah's State Championship is next week and we're looking forward to reuniting with a lot of Idaho's best for round 2
