Played Jinx in Vancouver, started with 2 losses, won 4 in a row to lose the last match close to MF Aurora - now we have 4 Jinx at 5-3 and tiebreakers will decide. Ah, so close. I will probably rerun Jinx in Utrecht, but feeling pretty down being so close to best-offs every time.

@PlayUVSGames @playriftbound Thanks for helping me! :)

[Ghosterdriver @ghosterdriver]

Everything (flight, apartment, vacation) is booked now for Vancouver, but still problems with my ticket. The link for Top64 says Competitor Badge unlocked, but Sales ended so I can't buy it. Please help, I want to play xD

@claedeusFR Your name rings a bell. Did you play Lucian?
yeah I will be there, see ya! :)

[Ghosterdriver @ghosterdriver]

After coming back from Sydney I got convinced by my girlfriend to go to Vancouver - everything booked by now :)
I'm so happy to travel the world and that she believes in me :)

... Just ticket for the event is outstanding, but I hope I get it sorted out with my Top 64 placement.

@AshenOCE I'll spare you this time Ashenkun

[Ghosterdriver @ghosterdriver]

@Amayzedas Was nice to meet you and talking to you after the game helped to calm down :)

I was so nervous during our game for no good reason (I guess just scared of Aurora)^^

[Ghosterdriver @ghosterdriver]

Sydney is interesting... Walking through a quiet park, while seeing massive skyscrapers in the back is weird to me. Gotta check out some local foods I got recommended by the Legends of Runeterra players I met here for the first time in person. Was nice meeting ya!

[Ghosterdriver @ghosterdriver]

@OceansTempestt What do you call viable?
I was estimating to get ~10 wins with Irelia and to get ~8.5 wins with Viktor.
Always depends on luck in matchups you get and in the games.
For a newer player Viktor is a lot easier tho.

[Ghosterdriver @ghosterdriver]

Here is my top 8 Sydney RQ decklist (sadly not best of, but that's expected with Irelia) - recommend me more 1ofs to put in please xD
Actual thoughts: Mindsplitter and Deckhand were sided out for everything but Aurora, maybe Pyke and Gust can fill those spots in the main board.

[Ghosterdriver @ghosterdriver]

@Federico524199 Viktor should win against Aurora

[Ghosterdriver @ghosterdriver]

Sorry, yesterday night after the long tourney I forgot to shout out the amazing cosplayer group: @_.Valerious._ on Insta. Thanks for gifting me a pack (got an epic Ivern :)), cheering me on and the photos!

[Ghosterdriver @ghosterdriver]

I need to learn the Irelia pose^^
Loved again all the cosplayers <3
First Lux, LeBlanc and Annie with Tibbers I have seen (and really really well made).
Also love to the Irelia and Ahri cosplayers cheering me on :)

[Ghosterdriver @ghosterdriver]

@Federico524199 Yeah and I just mean Vex, Apathetic in general in all purple decks

[Ghosterdriver @ghosterdriver]

@Federico524199 It's fine. Aurora should be favored. I wouldn't want to face my Irelia. Diana should be pretty doable on the other hand. Yi is not easy, but doable with Vi.
My main problem is Vex, Apathetic.

[Ghosterdriver @ghosterdriver]

@samuelsequinox uhh also hideable I think, spicy^^

[Ghosterdriver @ghosterdriver]

@Jack__XRP yeah obviously^^
Instant draw from Scuttle is nice, hand knowledge also nice, but I want a 2 cost unit to be able to contest battlefields on its own

[Ghosterdriver @ghosterdriver]

Some people really question the 1ofs - I like them, so many cards for my opponent to play around and instead of having multiple same unusable cards I can choose what I need. I actually have 5 different hidden cards (also functionally) and you never know what is.

I was able to finish my first RQ in Lille with a Score of 10-3 and 80th Place overall. This got me to be 4th best Viktor tied with the same Score such a Best of Winner @AgazapadoGG and Viktor Legend and former Best of winner @ghosterdriver. pretty satisfied.Matchups in comments

[Ghosterdriver @ghosterdriver]

@ebilshrimp Yeah, I think I remember your face.
Thanks!!!
Regarding Draven: It is a hard matchup and hard to give general tips :/
I often opted for slow starts, traded units and didn't score myself, waiting for Bellows combos for a clear.
Some games I could just overrun the Draven player.

[Ghosterdriver @ghosterdriver]

I finished Lille with a score of 10-3 -> 67th place and 3rd best Viktor (to tiebreakers) - feels bad to lose best of to 4% OMW. Tried some things with Ornn, B.F.Swords and Card Sharps as Kai'sa counter, but in the end went back to mostly the Bologna list, but with B.F.Swords.
