For this last Finnish miniqualifier before the EC we got a bit less
than the 20+ players I was expecting, but still easily enough to run a
tournament. This was officially the “Espoo” miniqualifier since it was
organized by me as the prince of Espoo, but the place was the new
Fantasiapelit gaming room in Helsinki. The more remote location of
this place combined with the short advance notice of the actual date
(we had some scheduling difficulties) probably contributed to the
relatively modest attendance. In any case, it was a fun tournament and
we had a lot of interesting decks, some of which were also very
lethal. My own Daughters-flavored deck did ok, but not quite well
enough for the finals.
The finals had Otso (Ahrimane voter anarchists) bleeding Tuukka
(Democritus contest mania) bleeding Teemu (Baalis & Blind Spot)
bleeding Eemil (Tzimisce wall) bleeding Taija (Stanislava dom+pro).
The table stayed quite balanced for a long while but then began to
crumble with both Tuukka and Otso getting ousted. For a long time it
looked like Taija would take the table, but then Teemu (her husband :)
managed to snatch victory at almost literally the last minute, winning
the tournament due to 0.5VP more preliminary standings.
So Teemu Sainomaa gets EC qualification, grats to him and all the
other finalists too.
Added: it was later pointed out that according to current rules, the organizer cannot play in a miniqualifier – so my own results should be disqualified here. Fortunately, the tournament was of legal size even without me being counted among the players.
