First place in the Nation Clash on Kai'sa! Should've played her in the main event but still have 2 more shots at my worlds invite. Congratulations to @CTCG_DZiden for making top 8 and qualifying for worlds!

Getting to the final few players!
At #4 I have @Collinka
Collin gets to punch above his stats here due to the overwhelming sentiment of his peers. If you ask other players on this list who they believe the best Riftbound players are, Collin's name will undoubtedly come up, and of who they think are the best.
While I refuse to entertain the debate for Collin being the absolute best on the premise that “he’d be winning if he played good decks” I will give him his flowers for a stellar record despite consistently putting metals over results. It is incredibly impressive for anyone to make Top 8 at 3 RQs, even more so to do it twice as the only player to put your Legend into Top 8.
Collin has a presence that makes people want to leave his lane when he commits for a Best of. Sett was a relatively strong deck when Collin made Top 8 but no players bothered to enter his lane because they assumed Collin would win. This didn’t work on Akali due to her being essentially the next Ahri level chase but that aura still exists with whatever he brings to an event.
Collin has proved in multiple card games that he can be one of the most dominant players to ever exist (For example the only two FaB Callings I see record of him playing he won). Even at the beginning of Riftbound it felt that Collin’s success was inevitable with his win at the first CCS there was a lot of expectation and momentum.
His RQ record has been great but not better than others I’ve placed lower on this list. His placement for me comes from an excitement, an interest to see if all this bottled potential will manifest at the RC when all Best Of temptations are removed from the equation, and the best EV is to win.
The question to be answered is does Collin deserve the level of reverence given to him by his fellow competitors? Or is he the potential man meme that will always be expected to do well when no holds are barred but not be able to deliver when the cards hit the table?
We know he’s good, can he become Legendary this RC Season?

We have reached the Top 5!
At #5 I have @ShawnDTCG
Shawn was our very first RQ Champion. After only picking up the game two weeks prior to the event and getting brought up to speed by his friends and teammates from FaB he piloted Annie, in what was expected to be a Tier 0 first ever trophy lift.
This was not an out of character or surprising event for Shawn. In his previous competitive experience there are plenty of examples of him picking up a deck last minute with very little practice and finding success. I frequently would see him wandering around the hotel lobby spamming MTG Drafts on his phone while we’d be prepping for a FaB Pro Tour the next day and he’d still cash.
After his historic victory Shawn committed to Riftbound full time and has made an extremely impressive resume for himself. With 3 top 8s and 6 of his 11 events finishing in the top 16 he is one of the most consistent players in all of Riftbound.
He is a natural when it comes to card games and while he does not have many credits as a deck builder he is one of the best pilots I’ve seen in any TCG, and that is exactly the type of player that can thrive in this metagame. With two decks at the forefront Shawn will be able to put full focus on the part of the game he already has an edge.
His last two RQs have been his worst results of the entire year, and after the controversy in Singapore and taking some time to reflect between events I expect to see a refocused, confident, and driven Dhawally back on one of the best decks and ready to spike the event.

By the way; You can’t have a policy to not ban cards before important events and do this out of nowhere before the most important event of the year.
This changes a lot how you deckbuild and acts as a super-ban.
This in addition that we are in one of the unhealthiest meta ever.

Time to cry :
Battlefields that allow double conquering as early as turn 2 are unhealthy for the game.
Similarly Star Spring allowing you to move units back after attacking. Core concepts of the game is how units in battlefields are exposed to attacks and more vulnerable. lefield should be something that either requires a turn or extra resources.
These Battlefields completely ignore that and make going first/secon patterns obnoxious while also being unfun and I doubt anyone enjoys a game in this battlefields, reminding me of Reaver’s Row.
Ban Star Spring & Hillock 🔨
On another note Nocturne is also unhealthy, being unfun both when you draw it and when your opp high rolls it.
And now that I am at it , please ban Stellacorn & Elder too!

ChallengerTCG has removed Koko Lopez from the team.
After speaking with his opponent, the event staff at RQ LA, and Koko, we believed his disqualification was a one-off misunderstanding. Koko maintained that he was innocent of the accusations against him. Clips shared today from multiple matches show otherwise, and Koko has now made a statement to us admitting culpability. We do not tolerate cheating. We're sorry to the players he faced and those who stood up for him. ChallengerTCG is committed to competing at the highest level with integrity and we thank you for your support.

I’m hurting. I had no idea. I need to process. I’m naive. I’m sorry.
Needless to say, I’m stepping away from live content for the time being.
