I'm judging, so no coverage, but I did set up my webcam.

Wish there was coverage. =/
Maybe they'll move the video cam in later? @.@Originally Posted by Ciberon

Everyone but cdr and the guys who do the world's top8 video coverage fail at camera work.
Any idea how many people showed up? From the video it reminds me of gp chicago just in a much smaller space.
Co-Founder of Team Awesome - I heard Randy Buehler say a while back that good players give themselves the most number of turns to find the answer.
The Source on MTGO - Predator8785 and RockOut
355 players. Just a broad view today, because there's no one to keep an eye on the cam.
I might be able to get someone to do actual coverage tomorrow.

Cam is back for legacy day. If a sourcer scrubs out, you might actually get real coverage.

Such an unfair price to pay for entertainment.
You sir, are cruel.
Edit: Did the cam go down?

All right, the cam is in feature match mode thanks to "mtgthesource".
Live coverage now up in the chat.

I was there, dropped at round 5 since I lost too many.
2 wins, 2 losses, 1 draw.
Was using Tempo Thresh.
How did Cavius do?
Obfuscate Freely vs. Scott Blumenthal
Eli Kassis vs. Rich Shay
I dunno who else made Top 8. Scott's playing Merfolk, that's all I know so far.
T8 Matchups:
Alex Bertoncini (U/G Merfolk) vs Alix Hatfield (RGW zoo)
Yan Lampron (Ultimate Walker) vs Scott Blumenthal (Ugr Dreadstill)
Pierremarc Dugay (Canadian thresh) vs Kyle Dorgan (Tendrils)
Eli Kasis (Thresh variant) vs Rich Shay (Ugr Dreadstill)

Ultimate walker?
The E.P.I.C. Syndicate: I mean, if they play a lullaby for babies they should at least play the Monster Mash when somebody dies.
Eli's playing an unconventional Thresh build with Standstill, Grim Lavamancer, Burning Wish, Life from the Loam, EE, Compulsive Research, Goyf, and Mishra's. I miss anything?
Obviously, this is the final, most powerful form of walker.

At least there is live coverage this time around with the aid of a webcam. Be thankful we get to see what is going on.
Kudos =)
