I took the liberty to translate the report.
Hello guys!
After many requests for this report, I finally got the time to elaborate this post on the largest Legacy tournament to date in Portugal!
Forty-five players showed up for the start of the fifth Legacy league by Gargula. The store, despite full, had the conditions to run the tournament successfully.
The metagame was wasn't stale judging by the deck diversity, and although Merfolk was dominant in numbers (11/45), the top8 didn't reflect this. In fact, the winner of this tournament played Survival Madness, having only drawn once - Filipe Diogo.

The winner!

Who'd guess, three years ago, when the first Legacy tournaments were organized in the Gargula, one would see this attendance?
<pic3>
Can Legacy really overcome Standard? Be careful, WOTC...
<pic4>
We had to use a second room for the last tables.
<pic5>
Our goal now is a 50 person attendance. After all, a Legacy Nationals doesn't seem that improbable now.
Here were the rankings:

And so the Bayou went to whom it belongs.
A shoutout to the Rock Junk archetype for having three top8 spots and for the brazilian Burt who, even with Ravnica Duals and Ghost Quarters, managed to take eighth place!
This tournament also brought some innovation in video coverage. Finally, a tournament in Portugal was recorded with good quality and put up on YouTube, even though most of the coverage is from the first tables. Check my page on YouTube and enjoy the excellent matches.
