Have fun guys and good luck!!

Now THIS is where I parked my car.

Awesome. I have no experience streaming/recording. If I understand correctly, you don't have to be live streaming, but you have to record your match (at least if you make top 8), is that right? Are you then required to upload it somewhere afterwards?

If you are recording, just upload it to Youtube and post it here. Someone like Cucho will help you organize it from there.

But then, streaming with Twitch is probably just straight easier than recording.

Thanks, I'll investigate my options. Also, having a wife that streams is helpful...

This exactly. Streaming/recording is only required for top8 and up. It does make sense though in case you run into problems with your opponent. If you record we can see what happened. Uploading is also optional.

On another note, streaming with OBS is pretty easy once you get used to the interface. Keep us posted if you absolutley can't get it to work and we'll try to help.

Is the 99.99$ + tax?:D

Sounds like it's 20,000 in gems, so in a roundabout way, yes, it's about $108

Awesome!
Still never set myself up to stream but it's no problem recording my matches and putting them on my YT channel.
Look forward to this.
Good games everyone!

If there are any other brewers who want to work on lists together, slide in my DMs.

Excellent! Signup inbound. SD

Are you on discord? What's a DMs?

Direct message.

this is correct. the ~99.99$ are just a placeholder. so, don't worry about taxes for now. we will pay the difference so you will end up with an amount that equals 20k gems in your currency.

I'm in, even without a complete deck. I can always add sons pridemate...

I'll probably sign up although I don't have a single complete sideboard.

Is it possible to change a submitted deck and how? SD

You can't directly edit your deck but you can send another submission sheet if you want to change the deck... we will only take in consideration the last one.
We already have 12 subscribed participants and only one of those is a regular NGA... hint that's me

PS: thanks for dropping by discord Devil... we have our hands full and any help is welcomed

Is this the birth of team NGA?

Hey I subscribed lol and am a regular NGA but yes great and agree if this can foster a new group to NGA off the back of the Tourney! Thanks for advice on submission. I will try a run in constructed with each to gauge best possible deck. The meta is varied but there are also a lot using pro tour winning builds or appears so but trying out in constructed BO3 probably best! SD
