Results VtES League 2013 in Bochum

Here are the final standings of the VtES League 2013 in Bochum, Germany. This year’s winner after more than 25 games is Ralf. Congratulations to him. The final standings were:

Ralf — 10,19 RtP/Game — 21 Games — 7 GW 39,5 VP
Martin S. — 5,09 RtP/Game — 11 Games — 2 GW 10,0 VP
Didi — 4,95 RtP/Game — 19 Games — 3 GW 17,5 VP
Hardy — 4,94 RtP/Game — 17 Games — 2 GW 17,0 VP
Jörg — 4,22 RtP/Game — 9 Games — 1 GW 7,5 VP
Sascha — 3,26 RtP/Game — 27 Games — 3 GW 16,0 VP
Micha — 2,60 RtP/Game — 20 Games — 2 GW 9,0 VP

Participants without a sufficient number of games (8):

Martin E. — 5,50 RtP/Game — 4 Games — 1 GW 3,5 VP
Michael — 2,00 RtP/Game — 2 Games — 0 GW 1,0 VP
Markus — 1,20 RtP/Game — 5 Games — 0 GW 1,5 VP
Nico — 0,00 RtP/Game — 4 Games — 0 GW 0,0 VP

The results can also be found in the German VEKN forum (incl. the individual match day results & decks). It’s good to see that the number of games have gone up compared to last year, and there considerable more games with game wins as well.

P.S.: On a related the note, the Gelsenkirchen VtES League, for which I reported the end results at this time of year as well, has ceased to exist. All most all of the players choose to switch to the Game of Thrones LCG instead. I blame mostly the lack of new cards for about 3 years which resulted in less motivation to build new decks.

Bochum VtES League 2012: August 3rd

Here are the decks of the Bochum VtES League 2012 from the meeting on August 3rd, 2012 (the next prey is from top to bottom), with some quick remarks about the decks being played that evening.

• Hardy — Cesawayo & Friends Aye Wall — with one transfer Neighbour John was the obvious first vampire to show up. And right from the beginning he began to harass his prey and predator by continually blocking. And with Martin occupied with Ralf’s numerous minions Hardy could build up his resources (like putting multiple Ayes and a gun on Cesawayo), but lacked enough punch to reduce Sascha’s pool significantly. Ceswayo’s greatest coupe was taking control of Sascha’s Escaped Mental Patient and torporizing the recruiting Malkavian antitribu.

---

• Sascha — Malkavian G2/3 antritribu Bleed /w Escaped Mental Patient — feared Didi’s back rush capabilities (w/Deep Song) and with a lack of stealth performed a number of undirected actions, which allowed in turn Hardy to block with either Cesawayo or Neighbour John. He got under great pressure (and never really recovered) after Hardy stealing his Escaped Mental Patient and Vasantasena got torporized from that same Patient. In the end he was lucky to stay in the game.

---

• Didi — Cailean & Friends Ani/Gun Rush/Wall — had a very slow start especially after being bled for 5 in a turn and couldn’t manage to grab enough intercept for blocking the Malkavians antitribu behind him. But threatening to rush backwards kept his predator at bay during the midgame. Eventually Didi had all the necessary resources (Mark V, Nosferatu Kingdom, Tier of Souls, ..) on his minions at his disposal, but at that point the game was almost over.

---

• Ralf — Giovanni G2/3 Shambling Hordes — very reasonable start with a lot of minions (and no pressure from his predator for most of the game), but then having a bit of trouble to deal with the weaponary popping up left and right in the mid-/late game. But then he managed to finally oust Martin with around 10 minutes on the clock.

---

• Martin — Assamite Black Hand Toolbox — initially had to suffer from repeated blocks of his Reunion Kamut by Hardy. Only in the mid-endgame the Assamites could get a Gun and Sport Bike, but a Tattoo Signal (or two) were sorely missed. But with a wall to the left and a rush deck to his right, the deck had trouble showing his potential. In the end, the one gun and one intercept didn’t turn out to be enough to hold the Shambling Hordes and their Giovanni master at bay.

---

Result: Ralf 1.5 VP, Hardy 1.5 VP, Sascha 0.5 VP, Didi 0.5 VP

Bochum VtES League 2012: March 16th

Here are the decks of the Bochum VtES League 2012 from the meeting on March 16th, 2012 (the next prey is from top to bottom), with some quick remarks about the decks being played that evening.

• Ralf — Nosferatu/Nosferatu antitribu G3/4 Obf/For Bleed — reasonable start and setup, but a single Muddled Vampire Hunter in turn two by his prey was the deck’s ultimate downfall. Also getting a master card hand jam doesn’t help either.

---

• Markus — Old School Malkavian Toolboxy Vote — defended quite well, but lacked forward motion for a long time due to pressure by Ralf. Got back into the game with Minion Tap and Parity Shift, but then lacked enough follow-up votes to oust Michael.

---

• Michael — Obf/Pre Midcap Bleed — initially had no predator and very good forward pressure, until Cesewayo got his second or third Aye. This cost Michael 2 or 3 rounds, which eventually prevented him from getting more than 1.5 VPs. But then had enough True Love’s Face to oust the wall before him.

---

• Hardy — Cesawayo & Friends Aye Wall — also had a very slow start. When Cesawayo (after Andrew Stuart) hit the table he was already very low on pool. But with Bowl of Convergence and multiple Aye was able to stabilize for a reasonable couple of turns, even being able to block political actions by his prey, but then run out of gas (read: untaps & pool).

---

• Sascha — Lasombra G2 Bleed/Vote — had a very, very slow start, but landed some heavy bleeds and top-decked a Govern the Unaligned when trying to oust Ralf before he in turn would have ousted Markus.

---

Result: Michael 1.5 VP, Sascha 1.5 VP, Markus 0.5 VP
