Day 1 of the Co-Stream done, we'll be back tomorrow for Day 2 and Top 8. Huge thanks to @samdsherman , @RandyyyTCG and @anzidmtg for hanging out. 8-0 Rek'Sai trying to prove the 2x top 8 in Tianjin was not a fluke. Good to see a cool spread of legends at 8-0 as Master Yi proves his popularity is not fraudulent with the best winrate on the day.

I'll be Co-Streaming Utrecht all weekend on the @TurnThemSide Channel with special guests like @samdsherman dropping in for a few rounds! I'm still not a believer in Yi as the BDIF but it is a pretty safe choice and straightforward to pilot for 13 rounds.

Excited for Big G to spit HOT FEPR on the mic with Charm3r.

Working on a video about infinites in Riftbound following the performance of Lux Loop this weekend. I know of the Lux Loop, Dragonstorm, and the Infinite Recruit combo with Red/Yellow. Are there any other current infinites in the game that I'm missing?

Top 8 of Tianjin Regional Open starting now!! 2 Rek'Sai WTF????

Natalie does a great job explaining the loop in this thread for those that didn't catch the stream!

6-1 Loop Lux (Infinite Combo) makes it into Day 2 of the Tianjin Regional Open! @MageArmour where were you???

Going Live Co-Streaming the Tianjin Regional Open on the @TurnThemSide channels. Come destroy your sleep schedule with me again! youtube.com/watch?v=GdBuj5GP…

Co-streaming Tonight in about 3 hours. The Riftbound competitive grind never sleeps and neither do I 🤠

Still recovering from the weekend but wanted to post about the run. Did not get the Top 64 I set out for but finally taking the weights off and playing the best deck reawakened my hunger to compete at the very top level. I will be back with a vengeance in Hartford. Finished 9-4 for 135th Place (13-4 on the weekend with PreRQ) playing this Diana list given to me by @AlanzqTFT R1 - W 2-0 Darius R2 - W 2-1 Draven (Said they bought coaching from @Prismaticismism and they were a very strong opponent) R3 - L 0-2 Azir (I tweeted about this one, G2 I punted from an obvious win. I feel heavily favored in this MU and can likely pull back g3. My opponent was kind and dealt with me tilting myself with grace.) R4 - W Somehow my opponent no showed, giving me a lunch break to reset my mental. R5 - W 2-1 PG Yi R6 - W 2-1 Diana (Judges checked our sideboards during this game and kept looking at me like I was a deranged criminal. Had us stop for 10 mins to then apologize because they were looking at my opponents sideboard and comparing it to mine thinking I was cheating.) R7 - L 1-2 Poppy (@NoVeggie5) I think I punted this one in G3 but credit to veggies for talking me down and that my decision was logical. Died to 3rd Sacrifice when I saw 2 in the bin. Was off me not realizing an interaction but even knowing it I may have taken the line. Notably, yellow/orange Aurora is much more difficult for my deck that purple/orange, more of that on day 2. R8 - W 2-1 Darius Day 2 R9 - W 2-1 Irelia R10 - L 0-2 Aurora Fiora (Teammate Fr0zen playing the list from Sydney, horrible matchup for Diana, unfortunate matchmaking. R11 - L 0-2 Ezreal (@AikadoLoR, wanted to avoid ezreals in general, hit a very strong player on it. Got cooked.) R12 - W 2-1 PG Yi R13 - W 2-0 Diana @aggresiagg (G1 was a 40 minute banger, some of the most fun Riftbound I played all weekend. Got to end on a high note against a great opponent.)

He said he was gonna play Vi and then we said "what if you swap those two letters around and ern yourself a best of."

Had to ride back to Seattle so missed the finals in venue but I caught it all while crossing the border. Congrats to @AlanzqTFT on becoming the first 2-Time RQ Champion. Joining Aipotu who accomplished the equivalent feat in the CN circuit just 2 weeks ago. Told y'all Diana was broken, but maybe it's just Alan. Wish I was there to celebrate with you, you bald beauty.

Still slept poorly, but going to do my best in Day 2 today. Always a pleasure to catch up with @PlumSojuYang who was cosplaying my current favorite card Hwei. Hoping they'll carry me to top 64 today.

6-2 made day 2. Not the result I wanted but I am still happy overall with how I played. Two critical errors lost me my two sets with otherwise tight play. Just need to clean up the last 5% and I'll be a monster by Hartford.

Played one of the worst sets of my life R3. Didn't get good sleep but just have to lock in. 2-1 start to the RQ no more losses today.

Got the job done in the Pre-RQ 4-0 on Diana into split. Feel very good about the deck going into tomorrow. Excited to be playing best deck for the first time in one of these events.
