As yet another Australian GP runs to a close we find a an old favourite winning on a second GP title this home on his home turf.
A diverse field with competitors travelling over from New Zealand and Singapore attempted to wrestle the title away from Australia but they were unsuccessful with GP Cape Town winner Ben Seck emerging triumphant. He ducked, swerved and weaved his way through the swiss portion of the tournament before beating Tristan Gall in the final match, his U/W/r draft deck proving too powerful for Gall's R/W beatdown deck.
Congratulations to Ben Seck, all those who entered the tournament, and all the judges and staff who, as usual, made the event run excellently and smoothly.
