Recap: ProQuest Season 1 Week 1

23rd Feb 2022 Chris Bewley

Welcome to ProQuest Season 1! Last weekend, the world saw 53 ProQuests go down in 16 counties with over 2000 players across the total attendance. Flesh and Blood fans worldwide have been eagerly awaiting their chance to compete for Cold Foils- with non legendary drops available in Gold Cold Foil for the first time and a return of the Tales of Aria and Monarch heroes- beautiful playmats, including the much coveted "Tri-shot" and of course an invitation to the very first Pro Tour happening in New Jersey USA, May 13-15.

With the recent addition of Everfest to the Classic Constructed metagame, more than a handful of heroes are aiming for the top spot, whether "talent-free", Light or Shadow, Earth, Lightning, Ice or...all three, new champions are ready to be crowned in the most captivating CC environment to date!
