I got an email from the shop in Valdosta and they had planned a tournament on August 10th, so I went and had a blast! There were four of us, so we paid the fee and sat down to open our boosters. In my first booster, I got Red She Hulk (number 6), Titania, Sin, Speedball and the SR Spiderman. In the next booster, I got Dr. Strange, Tyr, Sin (again!) and made my 300 point team using Ms. Marvel and Valkyrie.
My first opponent had gotten a Null, and that sculpt looks cool, except for his disco shoes. I was doing well in this match, and that sculpt looks cool, except for his disco shoes. I was doing well in this match, and was wearing Null down. Null had missed every roll....until he hit one time for 7 damage. If you're going to hit once in a game, hit once with Null! That and two critical misses in a row ended my first game. Fun game, though.
The second match was against the eventual winner of the Tourney, he used Monkey King, Raizo and Red She Hulk. Well, I got outplayed in this match. He has been playing since the game was first released and knew what he was doing. Red She Hulk with a Hammer and a big dumpster is a scary sight.
He won the next match and that was the tournament. I was the lucky winner of the Fellowship prize, Hela and I can not wait to use her next week, she looks awesome.
We then had a second tournament! I totally blew my budget and signed up, paid and got my next two boosters. In my first booster, I got the Serpent, Tanarus, Tyr (again) and an Asgardian Troll. In the second booster, there was Prodigy, Black Widow, Tanarus (again), Titania (again) and Sin (three of her! anyone need one?!)
Oh, wait, there was one figure I missed in the first booster, Colossus!!! YES!!
So I picked, Colossus, Prodigy and the Serpent as this match was a 400 point game. I felt confident, I felt good, I got my butt kicked. Colossus missed the impervious roll, and I forgot the Shape Change! And my opponent landed some incredible hits on him. I then did something really dumb and planted the hammer that gives running shot, just as his battle fury sets in. I lost badly.
The next round was against the winner of the first tournament. He pretty easily destroyed me, and then whupped his opponent in the finals to claim the LE Thor.
All in all, this was a lot of fun. I don't think I'll use hammers at my local shop as they seem way over powered to me, and I'd rather not start an 'árms race' at my local shop.
Oh, after the final tournament, we were hanging out and the winner gave me a FI Hawkeye. He had pulled one in the Tournament and the one he gave me has a slightly wobbly hand that needs to be repaired but who cares? It's Hawkeye!!
The owner handed out the hammers for month two and three and gave me a FI map!
After loading everything up, and telling the owner I'd be back next month, I headed for home.
Here are the figures I pulled:
Titania, Prodigy, Hawkeye, Black Widow, Tanarus, Sin.
Hawkeye and Black Widow.
Asgardian Troll, Tyr, Speedball and Red She Hulk.
Ms. Marvel, Valkyrie, Dr. Strange, The Serpent
And here was the LE Fellowship prize and the best figure in my four boosters:
Hela and Colossus!
