Scrolls ESL Opening Cup

The first official tournament which Mojang have been involved in will be commencing this weekend, and we couldn’t be more excited ! After we both finished in top positions in the unofficial ScrollsGuide tournament, we are keen for more competitive play. You can sign up by going to the official ESL page here http://www.esl.eu/eu/scrolls/news/228445/ (and also have a sneaky peek at who’s already registered).

It seems that Decay splash Growth is still the predominant deck in Scrolls, however this may also prove useful to those who have attempted to make ‘anti’ Decay decks. Either way, most players will be playing around Puppet Solider + Nutrition, or playing it themselves. It will be interesting to see what decks players have come up with; original decks are always fun to play against. New scrolls have introduced on the test server, but they won’t be released before the ESL tournament begins, so everyone should be on equal footing in terms of available scrolls.

It would be surprising if the winner of the tournament wasn’t playing Decay, but we would be pleasantly surprised ! There are some top players signed up to the tournament, so winning will be no easy task. However, the top prize is well worth the struggle ! If you haven’t seen it yet, this is what you could win https://scrolls.com/2013/09/look-what-the-winner-of-the-esl-tourney-gets#more-3375. We will both be recording our tournament matches, and hopefully we won’t fail on the first match. I suspect a lot more people will be online this week, sorting out decks and getting some much needed practice.

Good luck to everyone who enters, and maybe we’ll see you in game !
