A story of legend is said to be told; The dawn of a new age a sight to behold; From all corners of Rathe, heroes they came; The common language they spoke was that of great games.
Who could believe that we’re already staring down Flesh and Blood’s third Pro Tour?
Everyone’s eyes will be turning to Baltimore from April 27th-30th to see the best of the best take each other on in a bloody showdown like no other!
But it’s not just the top competition that’s drawing people to Maryland, we’ve got so much action jam-packed into this weekend you’ll need a pair of snapdragon scalers just to keep up with it all.
Book your flights, sleeve your equipment, and let’s jump into what’s in store!
Reception
Warming up before the main event we’ll be treated to a special player's reception to celebrate how far we’ve all come and how far we continue to go.
5:00pm - Player registration opens.
6:00pm - Keynote presentation hosted by Flesh and Blood creator James White.
6:30pm - Light nibbles.
8:00pm - Q&A panel with James White, moderated by Matt di Marco.
Don't miss this landmark reception and your chance to pose some of the most burning questions to the creator himself.
Pro Tour
The meat in the sandwich - Pro Tour, will be swinging into action on Friday. Superstar players from across the globe will fight tooth and nail in seven grueling rounds of Classic Constructed and Booster Draft for their shot at the title.
Only the strongest will make it to Saturday, entering the arena for another seven rounds, until only the top 8 remain.
Sunday will bring these titans together for the big finale, and as the world watches with baited breath, a champion will emerge to claim their trophy, PTI, Gold Foil, $50,000 USD, and most importantly, bragging rights.
Calling
Even if you didn’t qualify for the Pro Tour, the Calling sings to you. Join the fray in this open entry tournament kicking off on Saturday, and running through into Sunday.
Many Pro Tour combatants who didn’t make Day 2 will have their chance to go again, while several newcomers will also be looking to take first blood - anything can happen in a Calling so don’t shy away from the challenge!
Battle Hardened
If you’re looking to get Down and Dirty with some hardcore, in your face, ballistic action, then don’t miss Sunday’s Battle Hardened!
With a frenzy of different heroes and fast-paced games, this open entry event is perfect for anyone looking to sink their teeth into some Blitz.
