To say Flesh and Blood's third Pro Tour was a roaring success would be an understatement. Thousands of players came together to enjoy swinging daggers and drawing bowstrings. But only one came out on top to claim the lion's share of the whopping $200,000 prize pool. Let's delve into the pits and see how things played out!
Pro Tour
391 players tried their hand at the Pro Tour over the course of 8 brutal rounds of Classic Constructed and 6 grueling rounds of Outsiders draft, before a final Top 8 was decided on. Lexi dominated the meta, with Oldhim and Dromai following close behind. Drafting was master class, with next-level tactics brought to the table. Michael Feng claimed victory against Mara Faris in a fast and furious finals, winning $50,000 USD, Pro Tour Champion Prize Card, Gold Foil Crown of Seeds, PTI, and joining the ranks of legends.
