Opening the @T1 Signature Bundle was already special… but pulling one of the Faker-signed Galio cards, numbered 1487, made it unforgettable. 🐐✨
The whole box feels incredibly premium, with so much care put into every detail.
A truly amazing collector piece.
After a few days without any news, I honestly wasn’t expecting it anymore…
But this morning, my girlfriend found an amazing surprise in her inbox: she was selected for the T1 Signature Bundle! 🎉
So happy for her to be one of the chosen ones.
Thread 2 — Main Event, Day 1
1/
Saturday morning, I arrived 30 minutes earlier, hoping to finally get my hands on the Secret Garden bundle.
Unfortunately, the bundles still hadn’t arrived.
So I moved on and got ready for the Main Event.

Round 8 — Nasus
Win, 2-1.
Not much to say here. We were both exhausted.
There had been a lot of delays, it was around 10 PM, and we had been at the event for about 12 hours.
Some overtime turns took something like 50 minutes.
16/
Right after we reported the result, my opponent told one of his friends he was dropping before the last round to get back to the hotel earlier.
Honestly, that didn’t feel very fair to me, since it hurt my tiebreakers even more.
15/
Round 7 — Azir
Loss, 1-2.
Not a great matchup, especially before sideboarding.
Game 1: lost the die roll and lost the game, but it was close.
Game 2: win.
Game 3: close again, but I lost.
14/
I used the time to get in line and try to buy my Secret Garden bundle.
And I got one 😁
I was so happy. In the end, they actually had a lot of them. I heard something like 24 boxes of 100 bundles.
13/
Round 6 — Nasus
Win by no-show.
Another no-show, which resulted in my opponent dropping from the tournament.
Unfortunately, that also meant he would lose every future round, which was really bad for my tiebreakers.
11/
Round 5 — Vi
Win, 2-0.
At first, it was a no-show for the first 8 minutes.
Then my opponent arrived. He had been queueing for the Secret Garden bundles, which had finally arrived and started selling at 1 PM.
10/
That being said, except for maybe one or two Ambessa players, it looked like most of us were struggling too.
So at least I wasn’t alone in the pain 😅
9/
Round 4 — Master Yi
Loss, 0-2.
I knew the matchup, and I also knew my chances weren’t great.
Both games were close, but my opponent managed to take it.
Three losses in a row. My morale definitely took a hit.
8/
Game 2: I went first, had to mulligan to 2 again, missed turn 1, and had to choose between Kayle and Ambessa.
I played Ambessa.
And yes… another Falling Star straight to the face 😅
That was a rough 0-2.
7/
On turn 2, I had no real choice except playing Ambessa from the champion zone.
Then my opponent immediately played Falling Star on it.
From there, after Star-Crossed, Spinning Axe, Tide Turner, and Ride the Wind, the game slipped away.
6/
Round 3 — Draven
Loss, 0-2.
I didn’t know the matchup very well.
Game 1: I won the die roll but had to mulligan to 2, hoping to find a 2-drop. I eventually found Honest Broker.
