On Saturday March 9th, Black Moon Games hosted an Elemental Championship for the Legend of the Five Rings LCG. Thirty-three players attended and battle through five rounds of Swiss and a top eight knockout, before Ian Fite claimed victory for the Scorpion Clan. Final standings and other information can be found on the Lotus Pavilion at the following link: https://thelotuspavilion.com/tournaments/3648
Deck lists from everybody who finished in the top eight can be found at the end of this post.
In addition to the generous prize support provided in the EC kit by FFG, Black Moon awarded extra promos each round, and in total gave away hundreds of extra cards.
Also awarded was a prize for best costume - James Huff claimed this for the Lion and won a vinyl Emerald Championship banner for his efforts.
A charitable Box of Greed was held to raise funds towards the GoFundMe for Rich Gain, a former games store owner and supporter of L5R who suffered a great personal tragedy recently. The players present gave generously and donated $150, and Black Moon Games were happy to match this sum, donating an additional $150.
As TO, I was extremely happy with how the event went. The attendance was exceptional, and the players extremely well behaved and knowledgeable. We kept to a tight schedule with quick turnarounds between rounds, and even managed to finish earlier than expected. Very much looking forward to many more great events at this fantastic store in the future.
Thanks,
Mark
