Recap: Battle Hardened Cincinnati

Jan 16, 2024 Kasharn Rao

Welcome back, rascals!

I trust you all had great holidays and are feeling refreshed, vigorous, agile, and mighty! The World Premiere of Heavy Hitters alongside Calling: Queenstown is mere days away, an explosive start to the staggeringly grand $1,500,000 Pro Play Circuit. But first let's check in on the first Battle Hardened of the year - Cincinnati!

More than 130 players rocked up to play some good old fashioned Classic Constructed, with a Gold Foil, PTI, and $2,000 on the line. Bravo is steadily winding up for the performance of a lifetime - and with new Guardian support on the way this year could be the highlight of his career!

Players doubled down on Sunday in the PTI Event, knocking back more rounds of Classic Constructed.

Enjoy the comfort of the current format while it lasts, because once we enter the Deathmatch Arena, it's every hero for themselves! For now Bravo is happily hogging the limelight, with three placings in Top 8. Good ol' reliable!

The title of World Champion may have passed down to Alex Argyriou, but Michael Hamilton is back for revenge! Facing off against his pal Roger Bodee, Michael showed he's still got it. Congratulations to Michael and to the rest of our Top 8 competitors!
