Super Armory - Friday 8th July

The weekend begins with a Super Armory event. Normally, an Armory Kit is provided to stores to support a full month of in-store events, but at a Super Armory, the full contents of a kit are used for one single event, meaning that all Top 8 players get prizes, instead of just the winner! The prizes for this event include Prize Wall tickets, Cold Foil Promos, and official Flesh and Blood playmats.

Battle Hardened - Sunday 10th July

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.
