Hi!
There are a few videos from the Top 8 of the final tournament (invitational) of the "Liga Catalana de Legacy" placed in Badalona, near Barcelona.
Click here to see the decklists.
There were 30 players playing 5 swiss rounds with this final pairings (Bold = winner):
Top 8:
Álex Delgado (Next Level Dredge) - Lluis Restoy (Afownity)
Mario Fortes (aka Micron) (Rock) - Sergi Juan de la Cruz (ANT)
Enric Luzán (aka Enric) (SurviBant) - Carles Messegué (ANT)
Joan Rubies (aka LazZo) (U Merfolks) - Marc Durán (aka Arcbound Ravager) (Dragon Stompy)
Top 4:
Enric Luzán (aka Enric) (SurviBant) - Marc Durán (aka Arcbound Ravager) (Dragon Stompy)
Lluis Restoy (Afownity) - Sergi Juan de la Cruz (ANT)
Final:
Enric Luzán (aka Enric) (SurviBant) - Sergi Juan de la Cruz (ANT)
Here are different report of the top 8 players (all in spanish): Enric (Survibant), Marc (Dragon Stompy), Mario (Rock).
And here are the videos. In the last post I promised to use tripod but it wasn't possible, maybe the next time. The light of the place reflects in the sleeves so sometimes is difficult to recognize cards:
Top 8: Álex Delgado (Next Level Dredge) - Lluis Restoy (Afownity)
G1 (1/2), G1 (2/2), G2 (1/2), G2 (2/2)
Top 4: Enric Luzán (aka Enric) (SurviBant) - Marc Durán (aka Arcbound Ravager) (Dragon Stompy)
G1, G2
Final: Enric Luzán (aka Enric) (SurviBant) - Sergi Juan de la Cruz (ANT)
G1, G2 (1/2), G2 (2/2)
There's a playlist of all my mtg videos.
Enjoy!

I am watching it now. Congrats on your first place finish. I hope you guys do more video in the future.
That's easy to get into the top8 with 8card hands like DStompy guy! :p
Yeah what's up with that? Will there be consequences?
Well, that was undoubtfully unintentional, as he shows the cards to the cam. I guess it depends on the tournament-level, but I think that all he could get would be a game loss. Considering he was beat 2-0, it wouldn't have changed the result. Even if it would have actualy changed the result of the top 8, they're both friends, so it wouldn't be too controversial, Enric claims he believes it was clearly unintentional.
However, nobody found out, that's the good thing of videos, they show everything. A report will always be a selection of the information known by the writer.

If my post results dumb or offensive, it's probably just me miserably failing at being ironic in a foreign language
That game was a perfect example of why dragon stompy sucks. He got the literal god hand, and he still lost the game.

I don't speak Spanish, so I'm not exactly sure what happened, but why did the Pact not resolve, the second Force counter AdN, and he die the following upkeep in Game Two of the Final?

Big thanks to Skeggi and his Rock list, I sleeved up a very similar list and I liked how it performed all day long.
Misplay is what it looks like.
Besides drawing 8 cards..why didn't the Dragon Stompy player lead with Chalice@1 in g1 of the Semi-Finals? For me the play would be (on the play as he was):
T1: Chalice@1
T2: Trinisphere
T3: Morphed Marauder
this way you might even be able to drop the SSG for additional beats. Sometimes it seems DS players are just too obsessed with 1st Turn Trinisphere when playing Chalice would actually be better.
Regarding the Double Force/Pact situation, I think they're arguing about the target of the 2nd Force during AdN-player's upkeep. I'm interested in a judge's opinion on this. What happens if neither player makes sure what's the target of the 2nd Force when its put on the stack and both realize it would have actually mattered 1 turn later?
The seven cardinal sins of Legacy:
1. Discuss the unbanning ofLand TaxEarthcraft.
2. Argue that banning Force of Will would make the format healthier.
3. Play Brainstorm without Fetchlands.
4. Stifle Standstill.
5. Think that Gaea's Blessing will make you Solidarity-proof.
6. Pass priority after playing Infernal Tutor.
7. Fail to playtest against Nourishing Lich (coZ iT wIlL gEt U!).
From my experience, DS cannot beat any build of Survival Game One if they resolve SotF. I'm guessing he knew this, and knew he'd be able to stop it with the turn two Chalice. It was a calculated gamble in my opinion, that would have paid off if not for the enemy's triple Plow, and his improper tapping of mana one turn.

I would also like to add that these videos are awesome and a "GO GO Bant Survival" cheer. Can I ask what your other MUs were outside of the top 8?
I guess he was too focused in the counterwar and didn't thought of it, he just played another Force, without saying anything, thus, not clearly targeting anything.
This may help:

Did that ANT player play turn 1 Petal Serum Visions? What the fuck?

Good to hear, just to be clear, I didn't make that Rock list myself, my teammates did so props to them
. Congratulations on your finish. I'm reading your report now...
Edit: I see you lost to combo. That's basically the only match-up The Rock fears. Even with a combo oriented sideboard, it's still an extremely difficult match-up.
If it walks like a duck and talks like a duck, it's probably delicious.

Yes, that's exactly what happened.
Round 1: RGW Survival, win 2-1 (This list)
Round 2: Dragon Srompy, win 2-0 (the same as the top 4)
Round 3: U Merolks, lose 1-2
Round 4: Bant Countertop, win 2-1
Top8: ANT, win 2-1 (like the final one)
And this is my list:
Sideboarding in 3 Natural Order +1 Progenitus + 2 more cards for -4 Survival of the Fittest -1 Squee -1 Wonder
In the Top 4 game, I had Tarmogoyf, Qasali and Survival in hand, so chalice for 2 is not a bad play. I was lucky drawing 3 Sword to Plowshares.
Yes, that hand should have been mulliganed.
And still, the fact that he loses twice to Survival Bant mainly because of being screwed shows how much that strange "spanish" list sucks.
