Glicerio Garcia and Richard Badlon splits a huge cardpool

Sorry for the late result posting here. Everyone was busy commenting on our facebook photos (Titan Hobby Shop) that we forgot all about our blog.

117 players joined the event and it was Glicerio Garcia and Richard Badlon who were facing each other at the finals of JTQ Manila. Before playing the finals, they decided to split the cardpool (people will always find a way to split - DJ), 2 cards each, and draft the mythic rares; winner of the match gets priority.

Glicerio Garcia (aka Surge) was the eventual winner and JTQ Manila champion.

JTQ Manila updates

The JTQ series is a Magic the Gathering tournament series which aims to bring good Filipino Magic players into a larger stage. Last February 2010, we gave away round trip airfares and hotel accomodations to the winners of our JTQ Kuala Lumpur event; Richard Badlon and Rainier Santiago. The next Southeast Asian GP however, will be held here in Manila this coming June. Giving away airfares would not make any sense and so we came up with this; a huge cardpool to help support the player who will win this event.

Local stores run satellite tournaments which gives away byes for our JTQ events. The rationale behind this is similar to our main goal. We would like to bring the good players from all local stores into a bigger stage.

If you would like your local store to run satellites for our future events, please do not hesitate to contact us. There is no charge for running these satellite events, everything is free. We just need to coordinate with your local tournament organizer to ensure that everything runs smoothly.
