Nov 03, 2023 Kasharn Rao

Another round of Battle Hardened events done and dusted, and another leg closer to the peak of the 2023 Pro Play Circuit. Last weekend players converged in Europe, Asia, and the United States for some explosive games. It's really heartwarming to see actual families attending these events, competing, having fun, and really embodying what Flesh and Blood is all about! So without further ado, let's check out the winners from Warsaw, Kuala Lumpur, and St. Louis...

Battle Hardened: Warsaw

More than 100 players tried their hand at the Gold Foil with an electrifying gauntlet of Classic Constructed. There was no mucking around - straight to business for the Rangers, who took out 5 of the Top 8 spots. A brave Dorinthea tried to squeeze onto the field, but unfortunately it was booked for archery target practice.

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

A brutal war was fought between the heroes of Blitz, with Chane, Dash, and Rhinar equally the most popular picks. Eventually the Demonastery claimed another win through the sheer power unlocked by binding one's soul to Ursur!

Battle Hardened: St. Louis

Over in the States, 120 players took a stab at claiming the top spot. Dash is quickly picking up speed, having patched up those leaks with reinforced Evo equipment. Lexi still retained an icy grip, with the final match taken out by none other than one of Flesh and Blood's strongest emerging young pros, Lucas Oswald (must be powered up by all those sandwiches he and Brodie Spurlock are always chowing down on).

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

More than 60 players doubled down the next day for another round of Classic Constructed! We were treated to an absolute monster of a Top 8 bracket, featuring winners of Battle Hardeneds, Callings, and even the World Championship! In a dazzling back-to-back display, Lucas Oswald took out the PTI right from under their feet. Watch out for this boy at World Championship: Barcelona, as he's already proven several times he's got what it takes!

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