Ravensburger and tournament organizer Pro-Play Games pulled out all the stops to deliver the most impressive Lorcana event yet.
The tournament kicked off Friday morning with a Last Chance Qualifier (LCQ) event.
After five rounds, only the 32 undefeated players - one from each pod - got to move on.
The metagame included ten different ink color combinations with a breakdown fairly close to most expectations.
It was a remarkable competition to watch right from the jump.
Throughout the weekend, attendees could participate in a wide variety of side events.
Its not what I expected a 2v2 event to be, but I enjoyed it.
None of my opponents showed up to play after the first round during the Friday sealed event.
Luckily, it was never hard to find someone friendly to play with.
Day 1 ended after seven rounds, and the 16 players with the most points made the top cut.
First seed was Morgan Shamblin, the only Amethyst/Emerald player in the Top 16.
NACC Day 2 - Top 16
Day 2 kicked off shortly after 10am with the Octo-Finals.
In one way, the Octo-Finals were the most important round of the day.
The Quarter-Finals began at 12:30 with some interesting matchups.
Meanwhile, Amethyst/Steel players Zach Bivens and Patrick Cote faced off in a mirror match.
Despite going second, the lower seed Cote managed to win the best of three.
This is something that was on a lot of peoples minds as I spoke to them throughout the weekend.
Casual conversations almost inevitably led to concerns about the lack of information about whats coming next.

How many months will we have to wait for Worlds?
How long will we have to plan a trip to Orlando?
How long after that will it take before the next DLC?
The fans want more, and not having information about the future is causing some anxiety in the community.
When the next Lorcana events start up again - whenever that might be - I wholeheartedly recommend you attend.
