I guess I'll dust off the old Smokestacks for this event. Beware of Welder beats this weekend.

Finals:

B/G/r SI (B.C.) split with Grim Iggy (emidln)

Top4:

B/G/r SI (B.C.) defeats Imperial Recruiter Aluren (Polniy P)
Grim Iggy (emidln) defeats Vroman's Loam Deck (vroman)

I don't remember what was in the top8. I know that Goblins lost to the Vroman Loam deck, Sligh lost to Grim Iggy, and I think Aluren beat Mono Black Aggro. I'm not sure what the other deck was.

20ish people showed up for 4 rounds of swiss with a cut to top8. Top2 split 4 Force of Will and 4 Taiga. Thanks to the management for the great touney (if a bit late).
