A MONSTROUS THANK YOU TO EVERYONE AT GREAT ESCAPE GAMES!
especially: Gary & Sirus
CONGRATULATIONS ON HOLDING THE FINEST TOURNAMENT SERIES ON THE ENTIRE WEST COAST.
Congratulations to: Casey McNamara for winning the 2011 championship & our own Douglas Bevard III on winning Player's choice and 5th in series overall.
For those of you haven't participated or even heard of the Contest of Champions series then I truly feel sorry for you. Fret not, as there is hope, in form of the 2012 Contest of Champions(which the Wolfbrothers have already RSVP'd to). If you love playing competitively against the finest generals in all the land or if you love the hobby of 40k(painting and modeling) then there is no finer example of a close knit community of players who represent the finest aspects of either. I strongly urge you to make the effort to join in with us.
A well run store is a pleasure to be within arms reach of...Great Escape is the benchmark for the industry, hands down.
A well run tournament store is the greatest pleasure an enthusiast could possibly hope for, Great Escape Games is simply untouchable.
If you think I'm kissing ass then please present a SINGLE example of any store in the region that can touch Great Escape Games for tournament frequency, number of participants, $ amount of prize support and most importantly player loyalty(# of returning players and or % of returning players). Oh you can't cuz there isn't?...yeah that's what I thought.
Ard Boyz Semi-Finals wasn't the same, having not been held at Great Escape Games(sorry obscure mall store). I'm probably bitter for having been smoked like a Winston.
Mark from Great Escape Games holds the twin linked tournaments and they are a blast. The "doubles" format rocks and the missions that Mark has been putting together makes the most out of them. Again, I strongly urge you to join in with us at GEG.
ENOUGH OF THIS BEING NICE, I AM GENERAL OADIUS AND YOU AREN'T, SORRY FOR YOU(unless you have a full head of hair, in which case, Ahhh Luuckkyy, tsk)
UNTIL NEXT TIME.....PLAY WELL, ROLL BETTER!!!
p.s. please support your local stores like: Heroes Games & Hobbies, Antioch Battle Bunker, Martinez' Frontline, Casey's store in Ukiah and all the others...even the mall store....
Plus one for GEG. And I dont think they really hit their high note for the table top games yet. I think it will get even better as time goes on!
ReplyDeleteThe Final tournament was made even better by spending it battling against friends. Seeing some of the armies grow from the 1250 point tournament all the way to 2500 this year was a first. This was one of the hardest fought tournament seasons that I can recall. Those of us in Sacramento are already play testing our 1250 lists for January! Personal thanks to Doug & Mike for making this season even better then last year :-)
ReplyDeleteWhat a great event great escape puts on, top notch on all levels. I will definitely be attending next year as well, it's great experience against great players who enjoy the game as much as I do. My only loss at the 2500 level was to none other than casey mc, and we had a blast playing the last game of CoC against one another. Made some good friends up in Sacramento this year and I will see all of you again in January! Oh yea and I have more hair than general Oade! Lol
ReplyDeleteI have more operating testicles than you though so it's a wash
