This is one of two events happening this weekend. At last, the Kotei season is kicking off in America and we have a chance to see what the meta is currently like over there. These will be the last two events before the restricted list, so it’ll be our last chance to judge the post-disciples pre-restricted list environment.

Day 1

Atlanta started off with a proving grounds on Friday. That event had 42 players with Joseph Salco playing Phoenix going undefeated at the end of the 6 rounds.

For the main event, we have 60 players with a decent spread across all the clans.

At the end of the swiss, there were 5 who made the cut and 7 challengers for a total of 12 players going into day 2.

Those 12 players going into day 2 are:

1. Hayes Hunter – Lion

2. Joseph Scalco – Phoenix

3. Steve Palumbo – Scorpion

4. Anthony Anselmo – Scorpion

5. Emran Omar – Dragon

6. Cameron McKenzie – Dragon

7. Daniel Schroder – Crab

8. Carl Meisner – Phoenix

9. Brandon Lane – Scorpion

12. Chris Black – Lion

18. Kyle Wislocky – Crane

29. Mychal Edwards – Unicorn

Day 2



We have a Scorpion winner! Congrats to Steve Palumbo.
