I hate when people play ugly, boring basics. Give me some Onslaught, Beta, Snow-Covered, Zendikar, something.

I can't say I'm pleased to see you and must warn you I may have to do something about it.

I just tuned into the stream for a min before having to run out again. UW Control vs Zoo....... LSV as a commentator in round 4........ What is happening and where is WotC?
Seems like UW Control is a thing now. Melbourne, Egan is at 22 points after D1 Bologna, Portaro at 19 with 2 more rounds to go
And they're showing UW Control vs Zoo on Detroit stream now.
Some of the top players:
Yamamoto 27 Living End
Cameron 27 UW Eldrazi
Lee 24 Living End
Tong 24 UW Eldrazi
Chung 24 Dredge
Robertson 24 UW Eldrazi
Catan 24 Elves
Egan 22 UW Control
Kakumae 21 (won GP Kobe with Burn)
Horig 21 UW Eldrazi
Storey 21 RG Tron
Takahashi 21 UW Eldrazi
Lee 21 UW Eldrazi
McKay 19 Affinity
Rogers 19 Abzan Company
Tamada 18 UW Eldrazi
Patullock 18 Scapeshift
Caffini 18 Ad Nauseam
Cheung 18 UW Control
Durant 18 RG Tron
Gaieski 18 Abzan Company
Emery 18 Colorless Eldrazi
Wilde 18 Affinity
Not gonna lie, its sorta delirious seeing the word "top players" then see my name on the list.

Well they did a quick report before the coverage showing that of the six Grinders ahead of time, 5 of them were won by UW Eldrazi and one by Ad Nauseam. I think that the feature match choices are trying to get AS MUCH diversity as possible, because tomorrow will probably be lots and lots of Eldrazi mirrors at the top tables.

Ah I missed that part. And I figured they were showing as many non-Eldrazi games as possible before the inevitable happens.
Pleasantly surprised with Detroit attendance. I know weather in the midwest slowed or stopped some getting to Detroit. Most of these were on the fence about going anyway.

Melbourne is strong at 1100. Hit cap, more would've played.
Bologna solid at 2181. More than 2014's Madrid or Milan.
Detroit doing okay, but not awesome, at 2553. Less than Pittsburgh a few months ago and under 3000 cap, despite being in Midwest which historically has very strong showing. Not a bad turnout by any means, but also not the most stellar.
I actually think that 2553 is pretty bad for Detroit. It's better than I expected, but considering that if there wasnt Eldrazi I have no doubt in my mind it would have hit the cap.
I agree. Seems historically low for the Midwest relative to surrounding events.
Didnt miss anything. I know of players who had to wait till after work to leave yesterday and the area got hit with snow instead of rain. was sloppy and slow going. Some of them turned back and didnt make it.
There are many factors that the event didnt top out. Detroit the city being one of them, the weather, having 2 other GP's the same weekend, and of course the meta itself. 2550 is still a decent turn out. Not stellar, but decent. A lot better then some thought it was going to be.
BTW, UW Eldrazi deck running 4x RIP in the side. GG Living End.

Edit: sometimes Zoo players need to think long term damage output. When that shift isnt correctly called, they will lose.

That game was ridiculously brutal for the affinity player. Chapin played it perfectly.
