European VtES Draft Championship 2009

After last year's very successful "European VtES Draft Championship" the German VEKN community is happy to announce that in 2009 the second installment of this great event will take place in Germany.

This time around, "vtes.de" is inviting all European players to join in a weekend of tough struggles, vicious politicking and nasty fighting with tooth and nail. Many consider the draft format to be the queen of tournaments, as players cannot rely on an established and well-tested deck but instead have to adapt to a game environment which is rapidly changing all the time. Do you have what it takes to conquer the European Nights?

The Tournament

  • The Eurodraft will take place on Saturday, December 5th, 2009. The winner will be awarded with the European Draft Champion title of 2009.
The Location
  • The event will take place on the 5th (and 6th of December for the German VtES Championship) in DasHaus in Ludwigshafen am Rhein, Germany. Amongst European players this location is well-known due to the numerous events such as qualifiers and nationals which took place there in the past. It offers more than enough room for about 100 players in two different rooms. Drinks will be available on location.
