Legend Story Studios (LSS) and Azkaban Juegos are proud to announce that Battle Hardened: Madrid will feature the Classic Constructed format, in lead-up to BOTH Pro Tours this year!
The path to the biggest stage in Flesh and Blood TCG Organized Play begins with a Professional Tournament Invitation (PTI), and one of the best places to secure these prized assets is Battle Hardened. Players will have the opportunity to battle it out for their share of USD2,000 in cash prizes, exclusive Battle Hardened series playmats to the Top 8, a Golden Cold Foil Legendary card to the Champion, and coveted Professional Tournament Invites (PTIs) to both the winner and runner-up. You read that correctly, there is not one but TWO PTIs on offer at Battle Hardened!
PTIs can be used to enter any Professional level tournament (including Pro Tours and the World Championship) and do not expire, whereas invitations from the in-store ProQuest series are only valid for their associated Pro Tour event.
For players located in Spain (and beyond), this is your chance to secure your PTI for a chance to attend the first EVER Pro Tour in May, or the first European Pro Tour in France! This will provide a great opportunity for players to test out their new strategies in what promises to be an exciting testing ground for the upcoming Pro Tour metagame.
