The second in a series of core-format tournaments aimed at onboarding new and returning players to the modern cardpool and/or the Netrunner tournament scene, while keeping it interesting for existing players through unique prizing, an underexplored meta, and the chance to play cards that have been banned from Competitive Standard for a while.
We're stepping up the prizing this time with a playmat and nine original alt arts designed by local artists, a few of which are exclusive to this event! Additionally, we've got a big pile of TCG accessories to draft from, from poker chip token sets to blank playmats and more—stuff newer players are less likely to already have—and a special surprise for the last two placements...
(ChatGPT can take my em-dash from my cold, dead fingers...)
There's a lot to give out, and no one will be going home empty-handed.
