====== Fee Stake Helsinki I (Sat 26.2.2011) ====== We got a total of 19 players. Finalists were: * Heikki Palomäki (2GW,9VP) - Dominate stealthbleed * Aleksi Nuora (2GW,9VP) - Enkindu kills everyone alias "Toreador Power Bleed" * Anatoly Chukhvichev (2GW,7VP) - Presence stealthbleed * Tuomas Vuokko (1GW,5.5VP) - bigcap !Tremere and Salubri * Petri Wessman (1GW,3.5VP) - aux/obf Black Hand Thuggees The final round seating was Heikki -> Petri -> Anatoly -> Aleksi -> Tuomas. After a slow start, Aleksi's Enkindu horror began to chew up the table, which could not mount a coordinated attack against it. Aleksi got a game win (and 4 VPs) and Heikki managed to oust Petri before getting pounded to bits. So the tournament win goes to Aleksi. Nice to see a pure combat deck win, here. This was the first VTES tournament played in the new Fantasiapelit game room. A bit small ("compact" to be charitable), but worked well enough. We had two new tournament players, Anatoly Chukhvichev (visiting from St. Petersburg!) and Sami Ruuskanen. ---- **Deck Name : Toreador Power Bleed** Author : Aleksi Nuora Description : Use Enkidu for block denial and defense, monster bleed with Andre, other weenies and the Codex once the coast is clear. The combat module is based on the theory that if you have enough Psyche! and Pursuit you can just dump combat cards until you run into an Earth Meld and another rush card. Casual observations: * the longest game I played in the tournament lasted for about 1h 15min * I still managed to deplete my library in every single game Crypt [12 vampires] Capacity min: 1 max: 11 average: 6.25 ------------------------------------------------------------ 5x Enkidu, The Noah 11 ANI CEL OBF POT PRO for !Gangrel:4 2x Andre LeRoux 3 aus Toreador:5 1x Fairuza 4 CEL pre !Brujah:5 1x Idrissa 4 CEL aus Osebo:4 1x T.J. 3 cel for Gangrel:4 1x Clifton Derrik 2 cel Brujah:4 1x Anarch Convert 1 Caitiff:0 Library [90 cards] ------------------------------------------------------------ Action [11] 1x Abbot 1x Ambush 1x Big Game 1x Bum's Rush 1x Deep Song 1x Harass 1x Heroic Might 1x Rumble 2x Sense Death 1x Taunt the Caged Beast Action Modifier [1] 1x Forced March Combat [71] 1x Armor of Vitality 3x Claws of the Dead 2x Disarm 10x Earth Meld 19x Psyche! 2x Pulled Fangs 15x Pursuit 4x Sideslip 2x Skin of Night 1x Street Cred 12x Taste of Vitae Equipment [1] 1x Codex of the Edenic Groundskeepers Master [5] 1x Monster 1x Pentex(TM) Subversion 1x Villein 1x Wash 1x Wider View Retainer [1] 1x Raven Spy ---- **original announcement:** Constructed tournament in the new Fantasiapelit Helsinki gaming room (Vilhonkatu 4 B, Kaisaniemi Metro station). Starts at **10:00** (please be there on time). 3 x 2-hour rounds plus final round. No lunch break (sorry, no time for that), so go grab lunch when you get ousted. 5 euro tournament fee, some prize support. If we get 10+ players, the winner will also get EC qualification for 2011. Preregistration is a good idea but not mandatory. The gaming space is quite small (normally seats around 20 players), so if we run out of room the preregistered players are first in line. You can preregister either by emailing me (orava ät iki.fi) or by adding your name to the list below (needs signup to this wiki). ===== Players ===== - Petri Wessman - Janne Lönnqvist - Aleksi Nuora - Marko Lindroos - Juha Nyholm - Tom Lindberg - Matias Frosterus - Samuel Mäenpää - Marko Saari - Sami Ruuskanen - V-H Kilpiä - Tuomas Vuokko - Anatoly - Heikki Palomäki - Kirmo Lassheikki - Matti Palomäki - Kenneth Peltokangas
