This is CaptainA, tournament organizer of the Guardian Cup, Portland, OR’s premiere 40k singles Grand Tournament reporting live from the event! The Guardian Cup 8 – The Ocho – is being hosted by Portland’s grandest game store, Guardian Games, with over 8000 square feet of gaming space. We are being housed in Guardian Games own bar, The Critical Sip, and things are already rocking on the first round. We had a total of 47 players make it to the event with players from all over the west coast coming as far away from down south in San Diego and as far north as Everett, WA.
We have a ton of players with Mugu Games and Team0Comp making up the two largest teams for the event so we will see which club clubs whom! There are a lot of great players here including many ITC top dogs such as Baxter Seguin, Geoff (InControl) Robinson, Ben (Dr. Insanatron) Cromwell, Alex Gonzalez, and Sean (AbusePuppy)Morgan. I will be live blogging the rounds and showcasing who beats whom and who the champions are from the event. Check out the first round in action as we speak and stay tuned for more.
