I hate sealed with a passion, but having 2 byes makes it a little bit more bearable. I'll probably end up playing in the main event and then playing the Legacy side on Sunday after I scrub out the day before.
Is there anyone willing to let me crash in their hotel/house/apartment for saturday night. I'll pitch in on the room or throw you cash, however you want to do it. Send me a message, thanks. PS, I don't mind sleeping on the floor.
post updates, like how many ppl are playing, etc.

88 people according to MTG.com.
Friday had 69 people with the top 8 looking like this:
Goblins with Lavamancer beats Goblins
Lorestill beats Eva Green
Survival with Natural Order beats either Affinity or 4 color Countertop
Survival Elves with Natural Order beats either Affinity or 4 color Countertop
Top 4 split for 250 each. The prizes were VERY top heavy.
Sunday's event had a few more people and it looked like there were many more Countertop decks in the field. I know Cedric Phillips made top 8 with 43 land and that 3 5-1-1s missed the top 8 on breakers. Unfortunately I didn't see the rest of the top 8 before I had to leave.
As far as I know Gerry Tompson made top 8 with 4c Intuition Control (not ITF)
On a side note I played Ugr Dreadstill and went 5-2
Round 1: Merfolk, Loss:1-2 (He may have top 8'd he was 5-1 going into the last round)
Round 2: Merfolk, Won 2-0
Round 3: Mono Green Stompy, Won 2-0
Round 4: [Brassman] NLBrass, Lost 0-2 (despite being an 0-2 loss both games were insanely close, some of the funnest magic I've ever played!)
Round 5: Reanimator, Won 2-0
Round 6: [Slay] Zoo, Won 2-0
Round 7: Mirrorish, Won 2-1
We wanna see Top8!
I know some guys from Montreal showed up, but I still don't have any news from them.
GJ for that good perf Mr. Valentine.
P-M
I probably would have made t8 if i didn't get stuck on 2 lands the entire game 2 with 2 back to basics in hand against Cedric playing 42 lands in rd 6. i ended up playing mono u merfolk to 5-2.

I forgot to mention in my post that I was in the top 4 with the Lorestill deck. Two of my friends played a slightly tweaked list on Sunday and went 4-2-1 and 5-1-1 with the second getting 9th on breakers.
The Survival player from Fridays event was from Canada, not sure if it was Montreal or not.

4 Force of Will
4 Counterbalance
2 Spell Snare
1 Cryptic Command
4 Brainstorm
4 Sensei's Divining Top
1 Ponder
4 Tarmogoyf
4 Lorescale Coatl
2 Vendillion Clique
4 Standstill
2 Engineered Explosives
2 Sower of Temptation
1 Krosan Grip

4 Mishra's Factory
SB
3 Disrupt
2 Submerge
1 Relic of Progenitus

3 Firespout
Survival Elves played the 4c Countertop deck on Friday. I was the Survival Elves player.
Yeah, the Gbw Natural Order Survival player was from Montreal. He beat me 2-1 Rd 1 on Sunday with retarded draws and solid play. Unsure how he finished but he was 3-0 a bit later. Good turnout, lot of fun with pleasant opponents (for me more than my friends sadly) and old friends.
TL,DR: if you think Saito is ok, check your moral compass. It may be broken. - Spikey Mikey, amen brother
WE know what the price of progress is (often 8-10 life). - Cait Sith
A casual stasis deck? You must not really like your friends. Do you play it before or after you pull the wings off of flys and microwave the neighbor's cat? - EwokSlayer
Anyone know what the top 8 looked like?
"Good, bad, I'm the guy with the gun." --Ash
Top eight was:
Goblins vs Charbelcher (John Cuvelier) (Goblins wins)
4cc (me) vs Canadian Threshold (Ben Wienburg) (Thresh wins)
44 Land (Cedric Phillips) vs Ug Merfolk (Alex Bertoncini) (Land wins)
Dredge (Tommy Kolowith) vs something (Dredge wins)
Top four was Wienburg over TK and Cedric over Goblins. Wienburg and Cedric split.
I know he got Spoiled to death at least one game, but yes, that outcome was unexpected.
Looks like a healthy Top8 and metagame, when will we be able to see the lists?
