What our Players say

“I think it was great to see Hikkikomori win the previous Europe Trial. He won every round defeating top players and keeping himself in the Upper Bracket and in the final he won the tournament by playing 3x Speedy Scrappers in one turn and then buffing them to 7+ attack within a few turns.“

– Dafaqtor

“What’s memorable is that the players, especially the more experienced and OG ones, are more patient with the newer players and also help them with their questions. This, in my opinion, is good community culture that always tries to help new players come in and have a good time.“

– ExcelsorPH

See you in the next Trials!
