Riftbound Challenge Gdańsk #2 | This One Is for You (3/4) ❤️
489 players.
I still find it hard to believe that 489 people came to Gdańsk to be part of something we worked so hard to create.
Some of you travelled across Poland. Others came from different countries, spending your time and money just to spend a weekend playing @playriftbound with us.
And I want you to know that I don't take any of that for granted.
Thank you for trusting us with your weekend.
Thank you for the incredible atmosphere, the conversations, the laughter, the friendships and all the little moments that made this event so much more than just a tournament.
I tried to talk to as many of you as possible, although I wish I'd had more time. Every handshake, every smile and every kind word meant a lot to me, especially during those moments when I was running on almost no sleep.
I also know that not everything was perfect. Organizing an event of this size comes with challenges, and I'm grateful for your patience and understanding whenever something didn't go exactly as planned.
A huge congratulations to @Lubosnenifajn (LØREN) on becoming our Champion, to @WhiteWolfTCG for an incredible Grand Final, and to everyone who competed, whether you made Top 8 or played your very first big tournament.
I hope you went home with some great memories, new friends and a reason to come back to Gdańsk.
Because for me, the most important thing about this weekend wasn't the number of players or the size of the venue.
It was all of you.
Thank you for being part of our community and for making this dream feel real.
I hope we'll see each other again. ❤️

Riftbound is in a good spot rn and doesn't need any bans. But if you really want to be proactive about hitting toxic play patterns, Bewitching Spirit, Ekko, Red Vi and Aurora would be the ones I'd look at

Most needed change for Riftbound RQs imho:
Tixes must be tied to the account of the person who won them and distributed digitally. This would solve so many problems:
1. Less chaos after big sides (armagedon ques)
2. Less workload and stress for staff on site
3. Incentivizing people to actually playout tournaments until the end
4. Plated would be a little harder to get (good thing, especially from the perspective of people playing in Sunday events, bigger chance there will be something left for them)
5. Awarding better players instead of farming groups
6. Players could just focus on the game instead of how to be first to the ticket station/prizewall – at Hospitalet de Llobregat, Spain

Riot Games has decided to launch its own tournament platform to support Riftbound's Organised Play, moving away from carde.io in the process.
In an email sent to local game stores, Riot intends to get stores set up on the new platform for the release of its fifth set, Radiance.
More information will be available in the State of the Game article, releasing in August, 2026.

Hey E-Sport,
kann jemand helfen bei der Wohnungssuche🏘️ in Berlin?
Falls jemand jemanden kennt oder irgendwas hat.
Kommt bitte auf mich zu🫶🏻
Es ist zurzeit mega schwierig in Berlin oder Umgebung was zu finden, was auch bezahlbar ist.
Appreciate Retweets und weiterleiten ❤️🔁

Nichts persönliches, aber ich hasse alles daran.
Das Leute für eine Metal Card grinden und sie dann zu verkaufen um die Reise bezahlen zu können - hab ich absolut kein Problem mit.
Das Leute sich in starke Spieler-Gruppen zusammenschließen und gezielt Fehler im System ausnutzen um an noch mehr Geld zu kommen - sowas ist echt das allerletzte.
Ich hoffe sehr, dass wir ab 2027 die Tickets nur accountgebunden digital erhalten und entsprechend einlösen können, sodass es fair für alle bleibt.
