Magic The Gathering - Malaysia

Hi! My apologies for not covering this event myself as I was busy playing for the Cup itself - I came within a single game's reach of clinching the title in last year's edition and I was pretty stoked at a second chance when I managed to lock myself into the top 8 after a 5-0-2 performance in the swiss.

What a comeback! After staying away from the tournament scene for a while (or so this writer was told), Barry returns and took the title to the EM Super Cup!

The writer is fortunate enough to finish as a finalist, but regrets the slipped opportunity of winning the title.

Seasoned player Wayne Wong and Magic newcomer Lim Yong Chin are the Semifinalists while a host of familiar names made up the rest of the top 8, including Decards Showndown winner, Faruqi Uzair, arguably the most well known personality in the community, Michael Toh, with Hiew Chee Chong and Tan Su Teck rounding up the Top 8.

Quarterfinals

Wong Qin Jin (B/R Vampires) [Won] VS Hiew Chee Chong (Elf)
Tan Su Teck (Eldrazi Ramp) VS Wayne Wong (Valakut Ramp)
Michael Toh (Elfdrazi) VS Lim Yong Chin (Valakut Ramp) [Won]
Sirimanne Barry (Eldrazi) [Won] VS Faruqi Uzair (G/W Quest)
