Le prize a fameusement été revu à la baisse !

Si je ne m'abuse c'est le même prizing qu'un PT non ?

je pense pas que ca a ete revu a la baisse

si tu lis bien c est per player per team ! ca veut dire que la premiere team a 40000$ pour moi

Scanning through the list of names, there are a number of high profile captains. The first two are a pair of standout players, Jeremy Neeman from Australia and Vincent Lemoine from Belgium. Neeman has a pair of Grand Prix wins and a Pro Tour Top 8 to his credit, while Lemoine has a 3rd place Pro Tour finish, a Grand Prix Finals appearance, and two appearances on Belgium's national team, including the 2nd place team from 2004.

Vincent Lemoine champion national pour la seconde fois d'affilé et qualifié pour la Magic World Cup en tant que chef d'équipe.

Ca commence demain !!
Bonne chance à nos 4 Belges

MAJ : L'équipe japonaise a apparemment traversé les USA en taxi, suite à des problèmes d'avion. 2000 $ payé par Nakamura.

J'avais entraperçu des bribes de cette histoire sur son twitter

Emmanuelle et Emilien a écrit:MAJ : L'équipe japonaise a apparemment traversé les USA en taxi, suite à des problèmes d'avion. 2000 $ payé par Nakamura.

C'est ça qu'on appelle être un Road Warrior.

Alex, tu sais ce qu'il te reste à faire... Bxl-Moscou en tacos...

Je préfère que mon avion arrive à l'heure.

Vincent commence à 2-0 face à un Philippin qui se prends game loss pour avoir listé 39 cartes.
Je suppose que c'est ce qui arrive quand on permet à des casuals de participer à un tournoi.

Les cartes offertes aux arbitres lors de ce tournoi :


Pas de nouveautés, mais je ne pense pas que les arbitres impliqués vont s'en plaindre : le paquet est un quasi-best-of des cartes promos des dernières années.

Maj : Grégoire 2-0
Vincent Feature Match R2

MAJ: Vieren, Peter * [BEL] 0
Lybaert, Marijn * [BEL] 0

MAJ : Vincent perd 0-2 en Feature contre Vidugiris.

il me semble avoir entendu que Vinc' a perdu la R2

Tous les belges à 1-1 sauf Marijn à 0-2.

MAJ : Marijn en Feature
MAJ2 : Le trajet de folie des japonais : http://www.wizards.com/Magic/Magazine/Article.aspx?x=mtg/daily/eventcoverage/wmc12/road_less_travelled
MAJ3:

I heard one of the Russian players cast Cleaver Riot and was immediately sentenced to two years in prison.

MAJ4: Vincent gagne et passe à 2-1
MAJ5: Belgique 15 points et pour ne le moment ne passe pas le cut.
MAJ6:

Lemoine, on the play, had a Forest and a Mountain to enable a turn-two Krenko's Command. He used a pair of Geoffrey Siron tokens (Siron being the one Belgian Pro Tour winner) as his Goblin tokens, and was soon swinging in with them, as Floch's first play wasn't until turn three, with Guardians of Akrasa.

Peter Vieren fait une decktech Trading Post.

MAJ: Vincent à nouveau en Feature match.
MAJ2 : Une équipe dont j'ignore la nationalité :
MAJ3:

Players call a judge to resolve dispute if a 0 on a 10-sided die is a 0 or a 10.

Il a perdu un pari LSV ?

bon et bien les belges vont faire du tourisme je pense...

Pourquoi, ils n'ont pas pris de decks Legacy avec eux ?

tant de bruit pour pas faire day 2

on se croirait aux Jo avec les commentateurs qui annoncaient de bonnes chances de medaille pour des belges qui au final finissaient dans les derniers ^^
