World Championship Qualifiers Report (23/6)

Really tired and stuff, so i'm gonna skip the details.... 6 rounds of swiss does that to a guy.

Deck used: Inzektor
Format: 6 Rounds of Swiss, Cut to Top 10


Round 1: Sean Tan (Inzektor)
OXO

Round 2: Zan Hao (Inzektor)
OO

Round 3: Daniel (Hanzo Hieratic)
XOO

Round 4: Hong Rui (Hanzo Hieratic)
OO

Round 5: Asia Champ Jeff (Inzektor)

Round 6: Soon Hai (Chaos Dragons)
*Shared*


5-1, 8th in Swiss (Proceed to Top 16)


Thoughts at this point: 
- Was really comfortable with my side against Hieratic variants. They turned out to work quite well.
- Should have sided more for mirrors.....
- I'm so going to play Chaos Dragons after this.


Top 16: Wolflord Master Samuel (Inzektor)
XX


Results: Top 16




Thoughts at this point: 


I guess i was kind of indecisive on how i felt at that point. It felt great to be in the Top 16, which i have never gotten into for past World Championship Qualifiers, but sad at the same time that i expected more from myself. All well, gonna put that aside and hope for the best at the next events: Asia Plus and Top Shop Qualifiers 2012!

Brace yourselves

So i didn't make it for both seed qualifiers this week. So the only chance left is the actual event, so......
