It´s not really a live stream, but according to http://twitter.com/DCIJudges there are 2225 Players registered. It´s the biggest event ever and not enough chairs :)

Any Sourcers who can take some pics would be nice, even if you can't upload them with your cells, it would be nice to see the action when you get back home.

Yeah, the place is for around 1400 people...
Looks like the biggest tournament organization fuck up ever. Also, I heard they will autodrop people without byes after 0:3 score...

Wow, thanks! That's insane. How can you check pairings? How can you find your table? LOL Unreal.

Does anyone know of any websites that run updates? Images, videos, etc.?

I really can't understand why Wizards wouldn't have video or something. Record breaking turnout... wake up Wizards, we want Legacy coverage!

Here's the daily mtg coverage.

[Valarne]

Hopefully there will be some live video coverage tomorrow. It certainly seems worthwhile to broadcast from such a big event. Then again, the organizers probably have their hands full.

But great to have such a big turnout - once again a clear message from the Legacy community to Wizards.

Ladies and gentlemen, this is your price increase. Observe.

Ho. Ly. Shit.

I hope that they organize better for GP Columbus...I don't want to stand and play mtg :P . I've been searching the net for live coverage but I can't find anything.

QFT. Holy hell. That's huuuuuugggge and I'd love to be there. I bet it smells like leather and old eggs in there.

I wonder what the dealers were charging for Goyf just before round 1.

[Gocho]

62€ or 85$ for a single Tarmo

[Jak]

Metagame breakdown is up. It's onl from 106 players but there are 5 Bant Sur players in that group!

[Some Guy]

Some ‘lock pieces’ are universal in Stax lists in Legacy. Tangle Wire, Crucible of Worlds/Wasteland and Trinisphere are pretty universal, and Chalice of the Void is also a key player. From there though, lists tend to diverge. Dragon Stompy includes many of the lock pieces, but also accelerates into red threats like Rakdo Pit Dragon, as well as the powerful disruption of Blood Moon/Magus of the Moon. In White Stax, Suppression Field is one of the key draws, along with powerful removal spells in Path to Exile/Swords to Plowshares.

[Bardo]

@ attendance, that's crazy.

As someone mentioned above, this is a large part of the reason for the price spike; also, the value of the $US is shit oversees.

[MattH]

As I have two spare sitting in my trade binder, I am rooting for 32 Natural Order in the T8. :D

[Koby]

I like how when they took a sample of the decks used by people whose name starts with A, they get all the Legacy decks in surprisingly equal portions. It will be interesting which blue/goyf decks surface to the top of the standings after day 1.
