Live Coverage of StarCityGames.com Open: Denver
Congratulations to Constantine Vigderman, the 2010 StarCityGames.com Legacy Open Denver champion! It was a Top 8 starring newcomers and big names alike. Team Meandeck was represented by Bob Yu playing T.E.S., the legendary Legacy/Vintage team adding to its lengthy resume of accomplishments. Joining him as a member of the resume’d guard was Adam Prosak who was so confident in his chances he predicted he would win the event during the Saturday portion of play. But both those players met early ends, Yu to Constantine Vigderman in the Quarterfinals and Prosak to Kyle Miller in the Semis. It would be their vanquishers who would meet one another in the Finals, with Constantine’s Merfolk deck hoping to take down Kyle’s Burn deck. |
