$GTOR The Apex Legends tournament shifted to a Duos format in honor of Valentine's Day coming up, and Love was in the air; the Company saw a 65% increase over January’s registration numbers for Apex, our Magic: The Gathering event broke the record for most registrations ever and Master Duel's debut with us drew a jaw dropping 471 registrations despite it being the first event the Company has offered for the new game!

This weekend's Magic: The Gathering Arena tournament saw a diversity of archetypes make it to the Top 8, thanks to the recent bans of Alrund's Epiphany, Faceless Haven and Divide by Zero a few weeks ago. Mono Green Aggro, Izzet Dragons and Temur Treasures were still to be seen, but nowhere as dominant as before. Gruul Werewolves, Golgari Festival, Naya Aggro, and a couple of Orzhov Midranges joined them to battle for the top prizes!

When the dust settled, we saw Igor Prikhodko's Orzhov Midrange face off against Mono Green Aggro piloted by Mertcan Hekimoglu. Mertcan took the lead, winning game one in a blistering fashion, powered up by Lotus Cobra into Esika's Chariot. Mertcan came out strong in game two, bringing Igor down to one life, when Igor was able to stabilize, staying barely alive for several turns and finding the win. In the final game, Igor's combination of Edgar and The Meathook Massacre, Charmed Groom was too much for the green horde; after being one life point away from defeat, Igor found his second win in a row to complete his comeback and claim victory.

In the Company’s first Mobile Legends Bang Bang tournament, we saw Aqua IND face off against Tor NA in the Grand Finals. Hanzo on Aqua countered the Tank and Hyper of Tor, leaving Tor with no answer and dropping game 1. Surprisingly, Hanzo was not banned by Tor in game two, instead opting to ban Lolita while also picking Ling. The thinking behind this move was to eliminate the powerful stun from Lolita, putting confidence in Ling's ability to counter Hanzo by hopping over the walls. Aqua was ready for this strategy and played perfectly to thwart the snipe attempts from Tor, securing the victory again to win the match!
