We got a total of 19 players. Finalists were:
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.

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:

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).
