Modern Finals

 


12 legendary weeks of trialing matches - 1 week of finals. The EPIC Battle League saw a lot of cash given away.

The Top 8
The leagues Top 8 played off on Thursday the 6th, with a top prize of $200 everyone was eager and keen. congratulations to Ryan Kruger, Greg Davies, Rowan Haynes, Matthew Macinante, James Nicol, Liam ED, Patrick Collingwood and Tim Stieler who had all made it valiantly into the top 8.


A huge congratulations to James Nicol who one the evening. Ahead of the final match-up both James and Ryan agreed to split the prize money regardless of the results each taking home $150 - excellent sportsmanship.

Saturday saw a massive attendance from the 17 people that attained a 75% attendance rate, 12 people attended the event proper and many more attended to buy swap and sell with Jene's MTG who helped sponsor the league and will be sponsoring next season. After a muck around in round 3 due to the shameful tournament organiser (myself) mislogging a match pairing. Results were rectified and manual pairing took over. Fortuitously there was a clear distinction to help with the top 8. I huge congratulations to Greg Davies, Vaughan Johnston, Darcy Walker, Shaun Dean, James Nicol, Matthew Macinante, Rowan Haynes and Isaac Taylor who all made it into the top 8. 

I want to take this moment to say how proud I am to be included in such an amazing and supportive community. Once again in this finals, despite there being $500 up for 1st place, both Greg and Rowan decided to split 1st and 2nd prize money and just play for the results - each taking home $350.

Again I am very remorseful about the mix up in the round pairings and want to thank this community for their patience and support in rectifying the issue, this was my first time running a tournament like this and the support really meant alot to me.

We have collected feedback and have already begun restructuring the league for season 2. 

Your Friend and Ally,

Lachy

The website got a facelift

 It has been busy busy busy behind the scenes here at EPIC Ipswich over the past fortnight. Prep work for the Benevolent Owners shared vacation, juggling the change in the store's layout, new til systems, new television menus, and becoming increasingly popular. This isn't even factoring in the change in menu, or the upcoming events planned. We have been busy and you can trust I'll give you, loyal readers, a store update once we get time. In the meantime, our website has been updated by yours truly. When I first did the original website home page I had the essential elements, with a lot of my working hours, I've been making the website more streamlined and more friendly to our bandwidth. Please note, that the game pages are still to be updated to provide you more information about what we do here. In the mean time, anticipate big things on the horizon. I saw some streaming gear in the offices.... I suspect it will have something to do with videos on the social media end....

What is Adventurers League?

  Adventurers League is a standardised and regulated form of Dungeons & Dragons . It uses the rules as written in the official D&D books, so you don't need to worry about any homebrew rules. Character creation is limited to the Players Handbook and one other source, which means you don't have to worry about anyone making characters that are too game-breaking, as well as all the possible worlds you can end up in are all published D&D settings  To put it simply, Adventurers League takes all of the guesswork out of D&D. The stories are already written, the rules are plainly outlined, and everything is structured. So it is a great place to learn as a player and even as a Game Master  Each session is a short self-contained 2-4 hour story, though some will make callbacks to other stories you won't miss much if you can only come in once a fortnight instead of every week, unlike other games where it always feels like when you miss one session you end up missing ...
