We have already participants "booked" from Germany, Spain, Italy, France, Japan and Belgium.

Please send me an e-mail if you plan to participate..

The participation is free and there are lots of cool prizes to grab (alternate graphism cards, special playmats, tokens, deckboxes, ... and of course the european champion card).

I like to sign up for the European Championship.

I will also reply to the email with the necessary info. I posted here just to already inform you I like to attend. I tend to be a bit slow in responding to email.....

Hello Darkman.

Great to read that once again, you'll be part of the cool bunch of CoC LCG players we have the chance and honour to host at the Euro Champ.

The level of competition will be high and fierce again this year.

Just to keep everyone informed, we have already 24 players who confirmed their participation (among them all the last euro champions (B_P, Graham, Konx) or challengers (mzi, darkman,...), and some of the french champions (Carioz, Leng,...), and we are expecting a few more (5-6 at least). So we will just experience again the biggest CoC event of the year, and the deckbuilding level will reach the stars which will be aligned...

We even have the pleasure to host 5 players from Spain, which will add this nice CoC LCG community to the ones already participating from previous years: Luxemburg, Germany, Netherlands, France (Paris, Lille, Lyon,...), Italy, Japan, Belgian (Liège)

Of course games will be played in english and french. Cards in other languages (spanish,...) are welcome, provided we can easily recognize them.

A quick update to let you know that we have reach the number of 30 participants who confirm that they will participate.

Yyyeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhh! :D

We have now 8 spanish, 3 italians, 9 frenchs, 2 germans, 1 dutch, 6 belgians (Liège) and 1 japanese. And my little finger tells me that we can still hope to get more participants to announce in the coming weeks...

Come on, don't be shy, the only risk you'll take is to spend a WE full of fun and nice players!

22/10/2013: 33 players registered!

And FAQ 3.2 officially applicable!

By the way, I think I did not mention that the side event will be a Highlander format: only 1 copy of each card in a deck, other rules still apply (and FAQ 3.2 as well!).

Hi.

The European Championship just finished and I feel really exhausted but so happy that things have gone smoothly for each participant. Finally 30 players from 8 different nations showed up and it was a blast!

The 2013 Champion of Europe is Graham Hill (Japan). It is now his 4th Euro title!

Finalist: mzi (Belgium)

Semi-Finalists: Gman (Luxemburg), Ray (Italy)

Quarter Finalist: Azatoth (France), B_P (Belgium), Darkman (The Netherlands), Sectario (Spain)

What is great is that we have in the TOP 8 seven different nations represented.

Sunday, we played a more "casual" side event. We chose the Highlander format.

10 participants registered, and among them 8 spanish, 1 italian, and 1 belgian.

Highlander winner is Hansen (Spain)

Full report and pictures will follow as soon as possible.

Thanks again to all participants for their sportmanship.

My congratulations to Graham! It's good to hear that participation was so high.

Thanks to you Fred for your organisation of this event.

And thanks to all the nice people participating and making the event so cool and a good experience to me!

Hope to see you all again the next year!

I wanted to first thank the work, dedication and effort made by the organizers (especially fredhot) who made us feel very welcome and I also wanted to say that I really enjoyed the event and thank all the good atmosphere we enjoy.

if I can repeat myself next year.
