The dust has settled, and a champion has emerged. After a long, grueling, and spectacular road to victory, hearty congratulations are in order—well done
Michielleus, our Rands Slam III Winner! Your prizes are on their way. :)
Many great thanks are in order here, first and foremost of course to the incredible playerbase who competed in this year's Slam. A whopping 1635 of you competed across the 8 individual Opens and playoffs, and this tour wouldn't have been as thrilling, competitive, and just plain fun without you. Thank you all!
The lion's share of coordinative and logistical flowers must be given to the hosts who lead each individual Open with such reliable aplomb; thank you to
Celever,
Syrinix,
Mathy,
Frozoid,
RSB,
Magmar54,
pokeblade101,
Wubben,
Casual dot exe,
Irpachuza,
Chains of Markov,
Javi, and
nemoauditur! The best team around.
We also had some gorgeous art throughout the Slam. Thanks to
Clementine and
Syrinix for their beautiful logos—and to
Clementine again, for the wonderful player cards our top 32 got to use in the playoffs!
When it comes to administrative duties, sheet god
Irpachuza can't be beat. Thank you for keeping our numbers in all the right boxes!
And last but not least, thanks to my illustrious and derring-do cohosts,
Fragments and
Javi. Couldn't have done it without y'all, and so grateful for the support.
See you all in Rands Slam Eye Vee!
