Preliminaries
8 players played a Round Robin Burst Format to decide the top 4 to advance to the Final Round. Manicben went through with a perfect score of 7-0, mainly using DHR, OHR and VKT as his combos. Balance Blader followed with a score of 5-2, having used DHR and DAB to get through. With a score of 4-3, ~Mana~ also got through, but by using some non-conventional combos, such as XKN and SOQ. Finally, Haramblader, despite being his second tournament, got through with a score of 4-3 by using DHR and V2KN.

The meta in London was as usual, filled with DHR, Burst attackers such as VKT, V2KN and XKN, as well as some Dark Deathscyther Orbit combos.

In other news, we had a newcomer join us, youngling Bey Bread. Hopefully he will join us for future tournaments and we look forward to seeing him develop further as a blader.

Final Round
This was the first tournament in London to use the new ruleset. Deck Rotation finals were carried out, with Manicben facing Balance Blader in the first round. By using L2KX, Balance Blader had a perfect streak of 6-0 against Manicben, who used VKT then D2GO, but to no avail.

Second round saw Haramblader use DHR to win against ~Mana~, who used XKN and D2HO.

The battle for third place was between Manicben and ~Mana~. ~Mana~ used XKN and SOQ against Manicben's VKT and D2GO. The score was 5-3, which granted ~Mana~ third place.

The first place battle was fierce, with Balance Blader using L2KX and OGD and Haramblader using DHR and OGC. It all seemed like Balance Blader would win with OGD against Haramblader's OGC, due to his superior launch strength.

However, Haramblader turned the tide, launching OGC straight towards OGD and KOing it immediately. This occurred twice, with the second shot granting Haramblader first place. The final score was 5-4.
