"Just a week after one of the most historic Pro Tours in the history of the game, history has been made again! Grand Prix-Chicago is the largest North American Grand Prix in the history of the game! Over 1,200 players have showed up to battle using the Legacy format at the Renaissance Hotel and Convention Center."
Actual turn out: 1230 players!

GP Trial Decklists
I counted 3 Sourcers in there (there might've been more whose names I just don't recognize). Nice job!Originally Posted by Bardo
Pretty good mix of decks from the Grinders. I'm a little surprised at the Faerie decks that are 7 cards removed from Extended. The Scepter-Chant deck running Standstill is cute, I don't know enough about Scepter-Chant to know if the inclusion of Standstill propels that deck to a new level. Other than that, I see lots of Dreadstill, Standstill, and Thresh. Anything weird jump out at the rest of you?

trail lists are up
most deck are the usual suspects but the variety of winning lists is cool
two scepter chant decks win trails?
and an interesting fairy stompy
I'm also pretty excited with the great variety of the decks from the grinders.
We tried to copy the Source, but then we realized we're spanish

Imperial Painter taking a Trial down was pretty surprising. That deck seemed to have disappeared.
EDIT: For anyone who cares, VsTheWorld is 2-0 right now (zero byes).
What. The faerie deck is completely dif. from standard faeries. It's playing force, snare, jitte, swords, bob, etc. Or maybe you mean ext, in which case, yes, it is close to the UB Ext faeries, but that's because it's just good cards + SSprites and blossoms.
So who are the sourcers? And what's their nickname on here? I'm pretty curious as to how the 'high-profile' sourcers are going to perform in the face of pro's like Nassif and LSV.
Hello friend.
Dave Caplan = Goobafish
Daniel Signorini = Nitewolf9
Those are the only 2 I recognize.
Josh Cicio = wweenieking (not really an active poster, but he's local player, which is why I recognized him)
I also recorgnize Jaime Cano. I don't know him personally, but he has got 2 or 3 Top8 in France with 4color Landstill.
Not bad, he seem to have traveled a long distance to participate.

One of the most charismatic players from Madrid! He's registered in the Source as DuKeLiO.

Manuel Bucher thinks Faeries will win. Has he really been playing this format since Kyoto?
I hope ya'll realize that this fantastic attendance means big things for Legacy's future. Seriously all 3 North American Legacy GPs had way above average rates of attendance. WotC just has to understand soon.
1230 players is awesome! Way more than GP Columbus.

Didn't GP Lille have a great turnout as well?
Lille had 937 players. Columbus had 883 players and Philly had 495. Still, 937 players is nothing to sneeze it.
Bryant Cook is 2:0 right now. emidln is 1:1 I think.
What about Pinder and his boys? I thought they were making it out.
He's at table 441, a few chairs away from Nightmare.

Pinder = James Hammer
The "who do you recognize? game" seems like too much of a pain in the ass here. That's a lot of people. :)
