Recap: Battle Hardened: Atlanta and Bydgoszcz

18th Apr 2024 Kasharn Rao

Two more Battle Hardeneds under the belt, and two more steps forward in the $1,500,000 Pro Play Circuit! Dromai's last ride was flanked with flames of glory as her biggest fans took to the skies one final time.

Pro Tour: Los Angeles has left a lot of questions to be answered regarding the future of Flesh and Blood's still incredibly diverse metagame, but with Part the Mistveil on the horizon, the time we have left to enjoy the hot sands of the Deathmatch Arena is rapidly dwindling.

Let's take a look at our winners from last weekend...

Battle Hardened: Atlanta

More than 140 players rocked up to Atlanta last weekend to take a swipe at Gold Foils, PTIs and their share of $2,000 USD! It really was Dromai's last day at the office, and all her best friends were there to celebrate her retirement, from Pro Tour Finalist Mara Faris to Calling Champion Gui Cohen. Eventually it was Jeremy Chen who sealed the deal, sending the dragon empress over the line and scoring himself a sweet PTI in the process!

Congratulations to Jeremy, and to the rest of our Top 8 competitors!

Dorinthea was the crowd favourite this time round, split between Dawnblade enthusiasts and Hatchet enjoyers.
