Magic: the Gathering in the UK

Grand Prix Brussels

So I wake up to find the latest pairings include two English players at 5-0 paired in Round 6.

National Champion Dan Gardner versus Eternal Champion Steve Bernstein.

Epic battle.

Who else is there that we know?

You can just imagine the coverage:

Round 17:

In an unprecendented incident, British player Gary Lynch was disqualified pending DCI investigation partway through a tense game 3 against Brian Kibler, the winner of which would play in Sunday's top 8.

Lynch was overheard by Head Judge Sheldon Menery suggesting he and Kibler "play heads or tails" for the top 8 spot, then was escorted out of the venue when he became aggressive and started shouting "why don't you all just MAN... UP!" and threw some discarded fried chicken packaging on the floor.

It is unclear where the fried chicken came from, but it is believed Patrick Chapin may have been involved.
