Adam, FLG Head Judge and TFG Radio host, here to present the Age of Sigmar results for the Las Vegas Open.
This convention report is brought to you by the AoS TO, Scott Reed. Take it away , Scott!
A torrent of clatter and commotion echoed through the hall as players prepared for the battles to come on Friday, January 19th, 2024. The fabulous Las Vegas Open, hosted by Frontline Gaming, brought together the largest number of players to every play in an Age of Sigmar event. At the time of dice being dropped 343 players started their gaming weekend. After 5 rounds of rolling dice, moving models, meeting new friends and buying drinks we had 11 undefeated players.
We needed to create a top 8 for Sunday from those 11. In a shadow round 6 players battled for the bottom three positions of sixth, seventh, and eighth place. On Sunday the final 8 undefeated players paired off in a single elimination top 8. With the brackets set (See below) players battle to stay in the hunt. In the end it was Cities of Sigmar vs. Cities of Sigmar, One piloted by Gavin Grigar a veteran of the top 8 with a collection of steam tanks gunning to knock out Jeremy Lefebvre’s collection of forces from the far corners of the Cities book. Jeremy, no stranger to the final rounds, and Gavin played a careful match looking for a chance to knock the other low. When the final dice was cast Jeremy Lefebvre was victorious. (lists and players attached.)
In the end everyone was a winner, events this big require community support and help from dedicated volunteers. Thank you to everyone who gave their time so many could come and play.
