Invitational Weekend
December 19–21
Congratulations to the 2015 Players' Champion Jim Davis! Jim made the most of making Day 2 by not losing a match on Sunday, including defeating Todd Anderson in the finals. The SCG Tour® will take a break for the holidays, but will return Jan. 2-3 for a Modern Open in Cincinnati! Check out the Facebook photo album for the 2015 Players' Championship here! Buckle up because this is going to be a fast one! Tom and Jon are battling for a bye on Day 2 and each are playing extremely fast decks. Will Tom and Zoo join his testing partners, Brad and Todd, with a bye on Sunday, or will Jon burn him out first? Both players are locked to make Day 2, but the winner gets an important bye in the first round of the single-elimination Standard bracket. Will Todd and Temur Twin get an automatic berth into the Top 8 or will Jacob and Jund get the free win on Sunday? Joe and Caleb are both coming off a Top 8 at the Season Four Invitational in Las Vegas, but Caleb is on quite the hot streak with a win in Vegas and only one loss so far this weekend. Will Joe on Burn or Caleb on Affinity improve to 2-1? Tom is looking to improve to 2-0 in Modern while Jacob is trying to even up his record to 1-1 in the Battle for Byes pool play match. Would Tom run over his opponent with zoo animals or would Jacob grind out the win with Jund? Todd and Caleb had great performances last weekend at the Season Four Invitational, though Caleb's finish stole the spotlight as he won the whole thing to earn his slot to the Players' Championship. Caleb hasn't lost a match yet in the #SCGPC, can his run continue in Modern with Affinity or will Todd end his streak with Temur Twin? Two friends and travel partners meet in a destination match to send one player to the Battle for Byes pool and one to the Play to Stay pool. Danny is on Temur Delver and Jim is on Sultai Delver. Which Delver strategy will come out on top? Brad and Kevin meet up as both players look to start their tournament 3-0 in Legacy. Will Brad and Death and Taxes continue his success or will Kevin and Merfolk prove to have the better mono-colored creature deck in a format filled with three and four-colored strategies? Round 2 of Legacy pool play pits two at-large bid players against each other. Will Hunter rebound after his first-round loss with Grixis Delver or will Jon improve to 2-0 with Elves? The two math guys sat down to an intense conversation about undergrad studies before getting into their first match of the event. Would Ross and Sneak and Show combo off before Caleb and Storm could count to 10? Jon is coming off his bye, but faces Jim with a trip to semifinals on the line. Will Jon continue his winning ways with Abzan Aggro or will Jim ramp past him with G/R Eldrazi? The last slot in the Top 8 is up for grabs and it comes down to Season Three Invitational winner and the Season Three points champion. Will Alex and Four-Color Rally move on or can Danny and Abzan Aggro power through one more match? The first wild card match of Day 2 looks to be a long one as Joe and Logan bring Five-Color Bring to Light and Abzan Aggro to the table. Which player will advance to play Todd Anderson in the Top 8? |
