Fabien Li is your Grand Prix Kuala Lumpur champion! Taking a break from the UR archetype that served him well all weekend, Fabien battled through a top 8 swath of RB Minotaurs, WB mid-range and BG control piloting UW evasive tempo.
He was well served by the combination of Wingsteed Rider and Hopeful Eidolon, as well as a Wavecrash Triton that worked overtime to keep all his opponents' creatures tapped down. In a nail-biting finale, Fabien threated lethal three times off Evangel of Heliod before finally taking the game, match and tournament with Celestial Archon.
Rounding out the Top 8 were Park Jun Young, Ryan Young, Krissapas Kuptimitr, (23) Shouta Yasooka (on his 18th Grand Prix top 8), Jack Teo, Shamsul Bahrin Zainuddin and Mohd Khairul Anuar Abdul Aziz.
Congratulations to Fabien Li, Champion of Grand Prix Kuala Lumpur!

1 Celestial Archon 1 Hundred-Handed One 1 Meletis Charlatan 1 Gods Willing 1 Anax and CymedeQuarterfinal – Shouta Yasooka vs Shamshul Zainuddin
Zainuddin powered out of the gate early with a Satyr Wanderer. Yasooka tried to off it with a Magma Jet, but Zainuddin kept it around with a timely Feral Invocation.

Zainuddin kept up the pressure with a Nessian Asp. Yasooka added his own pressure with a Vulpine Goliath. Zainuddin was barely fazed by the Fox, simply adding more creatures to the battlefield. A few turns of relentless attacks later, Zainuddin wore down Yasooka's defences to take the first game.
Shamshul Zainuddin 1 - Shouta Yasooka 0
Yasooka started the second game off with a Polis Crusher, while Zainuddin went with a Nimbus Naiad and a Prescient Chimera. Zainuddin cast a Sea God's Revenge to get rid of the Crusher for a brief turn, but Yasooka simply replayed it and used a Time to Feed to off the Chimera. And as quickly as that, it was on to the deciding game for both players.
Zainuddin led things off earl with a Vaporkin, but Yasooka had the solid Nessian Courser to keep things interesting. When Yasooka followed up with a Staunch-Hearted Warrior, Zainuddin flashed in a Horizon Chimera, the powerful fliers cracking in overhead. Yasooka had a Magma Jet for the Horizon Chimera during his upkeep, filtering his draw and attacking with his team, bringing the life totals to 13-11. Zainuddin flashed in a Breaching Hippocamp to keep up the pressure, and then summoned a coastline Chimera to shore up his defence.
Yasooka used a Time to Feed on his Staunch-Hearted Warrior to take out Zainuddin's Hippocamp, gaining some precious life in the race. Yasooka's Courser kept nibbling away, while Zainuddin went all-out offensive with both his fliers. Zainuddin had a Nylea's Disciple to gain a few precious life points, hoarding a Sea God's Revenge in his hand for another turn on the premise that Yasooka couldn't break through just yet.

Yasooka bestowed a Leafcrown Dryad on his Warrior, bringing it up to a somewhat terrifying 8 power, earning a groan from Zainuddin. He attacked with everything and Zainuddin used a Lost in a Labyrinth to keep himself out of danger's reach, albeit only briefly. If there was ever a time to Sea God's Revenge, now was it, but Zainuddin was stuck on 5 lands.
Yasooka went to bestow a Purphoros's Emissary on his Nessian Courser, drawing a Griptide from Zainuddin and leaving him 'only' having to deal with the incoming 8/8 Staunch-Hearted Warrior. While Zainuddin was considering his blocks, there was a brief moment of confusion about the player's life totals. Once that had been cleared up, Zainuddin's decision became a great deal easier - he chump-blocked, untapped, and dropped an Aqueous Form on his Disciple to attack Yasooka for lethal.

Quarterfinal - Jack Teo vs Ryan Young
Teo started the game off with an Artisan of Forms and a Disciple of Phenax, while Young had a Leafcrown Dryad and a Sedge Scorpion on his side of the board.
A second Disciple of Phenax for Teo kept the ground position relatively stalled, while Young managed to summon a Staunch-Hearted Warrior to finally start to load up some pressure on the U/B player.
Teo refused to feel the pressure, instead summoning an Erebos. Teo then used a Gods Willing on his Artisan of Forms to transform it into another Disciple and giving it protection from Green, letting him block Young's Sedge Scorpion effectively. Young started to build up his Staunch-Hearted Warrior with a bestowed Erebos's Emissary.
With his Erebos now firmly up and running, Teo summoned a Gray Merchant of Asphodel for an impressive 7-point life swing, putting Young further on the back foot. Young bestowed a Nylea's Emissary on his Warrior, making it both incredibly large and, more importantly, trampling.

Young had a Sip of Hemlock to take out Teo's Gray Merchant, which would drop Erebos below creature-worthy levels of devotion. Unable to stop the massive Warrior from trampling over his remaining blockers, Teo shuffled up his cards and moved to game 2.
Ryan Young 1 - Jack Teo 0
Young started the game off with a Leafcrown Elder, while Teo had a Shipwreck Singer to slow down its' offensive. Young added to his board with an Agent of Horizons, while Teo had a Returned Centaur to keep pace. Young had a Dark Betrayal for the Returned Centaur before pummeling Teo once more. Teo summoned a second Shipwreck Singer, potentially reducing the value of Young's attacks at the cost of tying up a great deal of mana. Young was having none of this, though, and simply upgraded to a Nessian Asp, threatening future hugeness.

Teo bought himself some breathing room with a Gray Merchant of Asphodel for a 4-point swing each way, but had no further action, having to take the damage when the Nessian Asp came in next turn. Young used a Time to Feed on his Staunch-Hearted Warrior to take out one of the Shipwreck Singers, and a Pharika's Cure to get rid of the other. His team cracked in and dropped Teo to a perilous 5 life, Teo summoning a Returned Phalanx and an Opaline Unicorn to try and clog the ground up.
Young sent in his team once more and To gang-blocked the Staunch-Hearted Warrior. young flash-bestowed a Boon Satyr on his unblocked attacker to take the game and match.

Quarterfinal – Fabien Li (UW) vs Kuptimitr (RB)
Fabien is bringing a UW 'control' evasion deck while Kuptimitr is sporting a quick RB minotaurs tribal deck. Would Kuptimitr be able to close the games before Fabien stabilises?
Game 1
Both players were quick out of the gates. Kuptimitr with Asphodel Wanderer and Borderland Minotaur, and Fabien with Cavalry Pegasus and Meletis Charlatan.
When Fabien tapped out to bestow Hopeful Eidolon on Cavalry Pegasus, it gave Kuptimitr the window of opportunity for a massive counterattack with Kragma Warcaller to take Fabien down to 10 life.
Fabien, however, appeared unperturbed and simply played Chosen by Heliod on Pegasus and Leonin Snarecaster, before attacking with Pegasus and Charlatan.
Sensing a window to seal the game, Kuptimitr stole the Snarecaster with Portent of Betrayal and sent his team in for what he hoped to be the final alpha strike. Fabien, however, had the backbreaking Triton Tactics to gain sufficient tempo to take the game on the back of his lifelink flyer.

Game 2
Kuptimitr started on the backfoot with a pair of mulligans, but still managed Ill-Tempered Cyclops to Fabien's Meletis Charlatan, Wavecrash Triton and Leonin Snarecaster.
Kragma Warcaller again came down to take a hefty chuck out of Fabien's life total, but Fabien similarly had Hopeful Eidolon on Wavecrash Triton to stabilise.
Ember Swallower was similarly tapped by Fate Foretold on Triton and Dauntless Onslaught on the merfolk extended Fabien's lead.

At one life, Kuptimitr struggled to remain in the game by stealing the lifelink Triton with Portent of Betrayal and killing the Leonin with Spark Jolt. Fabien simply untapped and bestowed Heliod's Emissary on the Triton.
Fabien wins 2-0 and advances to the semi-finals.
Quarterfinal – Park Jun Young (WB) vs Mohd Khairul (RU)
Game 1
Mohd Khairul opened on the offensive with Arena Athlete, Triton Fortune Hunter and Spellheart Chimera; while Scholar of Athreos prevented profitable attacks and gave Park the space he needed to sculpt his hand with Read the Bones.
Park found Sentry of the Underworld and went for the kill with Hopeful Eidolon and Ordeal of Erebos. But Mohd Khairul had an out in Voyage's End and Magma Jet on Scholar after damage opened the door for Khairul's offence.

Park took some damage, but once he redeployed and re-suited Sentry of the Underworld with Observant Alseid, it was sufficient to take the game.
Game 2
Khairul once against started on the offence with Ordeal of Thassa on Satyr Rambler and Breaching Hippocamp. However, Park had Ray of Dissolution at the perfect time and summoned Wingsteed Rider.
When Kairul attacked into the Rider, Gods Willing threatened to trade and forced Khairul to expand Titan's Strength to save his Satyr.

Hopeful Eidolon and Observant Alseid on Wingsteed Rider then threatened to steal the game from Khairul and while he found Nimbus Naiad to force the trade with his own Satyr, Park's follow up plays of Celestial Archon and Hundred-Handed One was simply too high a hurdle to overcome.
Park wins 2-0 and advances to the semi-finals.
Semifinal – Shamsul Zainuddin v. Ryan Young
Game 1
Zainuddin started the game off aggressively with a Sedge Scorpion, which rapidly became Ferally Invoked when Young's Leafcrown Dryad got in its way. Young upped the ante rapidly with a Boon Satyr and a Nessian Asp, while Zainuddin kept pace with a Vulpine Goliath. The Boon Satyr tussled with the Scorpion and things looked, if not relatively fair, then certainly reasonable.
Unfortunately for Young, Zainuddin wasn't in the mood for reasonable, bestowing a Nimbus Naiad onto his Goliath and then further belligerentising* it with a Feral Invocation. When giant foxes start flying at you, it's time to head to your sideboard.
Shamshul Zainuddin 1 - Ryan Young 0
Game 2
After the intense first game, both players had no action for the first few turns. Young kicked things off with a Read the Bones. Zainuddin smiled at his draw and played out a Sedge Scorpion, giving it a little scolding for not turning up earlier. Young pushed things along with a Voyaging Satyr. Zainuddin decided to get funky with his Scorpion, giving it a Feral Invocation and an Aqueous Form. Young smiled and tapped a bazillion* mana for a Hythonia the Cruel - but could he race the Scorpion?

Zainuddin was keen to see his arachnid go all the way before the Gorgon messed things up too much, so when it attacked again he loaded another Feral Invocation onto it, knocking Young to 10 and putting him on a dangerous clock
A Time to Feed knocked out the Scorpion a turn earlier than Young's land drops would have gotten him there at the cost of the Gorgon hitting the bin. A judge paused the game to point out that an Omenspeaker that Zainuddin had summoned earlier was not, in fact, dead - the card hand wandered to the graveyard in amongst cards being shuffled about - and a bemused Zainuddin received a warning for trying to absent-mindedly kill his own creature.
Zainuddin went to reconstruct the game state with a Nessian Asp, while Young had an Agent of Horizons (no blue mana on the board), which he quickly bestowed with a Nylea's Emissary. Zainuddin found a Vaporkin and threw his Omenspeaker in front of the imposing Agent.
Zainuddin attacked with his team, and Young had a Savage Surge to untap his Agent and to block the Nessian Asp, taking it out of the picture. Post-combat, Zainuddin summoned a Nylea's Disciple to gain some precious life back. A Pharika's Cure knocked out his Vaporkin and he declined to block the Agent, falling to 3 with Young at 9. Sea God's Revenge bounced both of Young's creatures but left him with an Emissary on the board. A round of indrawn breath on his draw step from the spectators gave a slight hint to what was coming. Young attacked, Zainuddin blocked, and Boon Satyr flash-bestowed the trampling Emissary to take the pair of Planeswalkers to a final game.
Ryan Young 1 - Shamshul Zainuddin 1
Game 3
Zainuddin launched into the final game with... A timorous, if not querolous, 'Keep?'. Visibly pleading with the top of his deck - although, as he made his first few land drops, for what was not clear - he took an attack from Young's Leafcrown Elder
"Please, no land", he begged out loud, before flipping a land off the top of his deck into play. "Noooo..." he moaned, dramatically bonking his forehead against the Top 8 playmat. Young raised an eyebrow but clearly tried not to get taken in by his opponent's dramatics as the crowd giggled as Zainudding flipped another land off the top of his library into play. Although how anyone could look so distressed at summoning a Prescient Chimera is beyond me. Young gave a head-bobble that was almost from the Indian subcontinent in character while summoning a Blood-Toll Harpy and bestowing Leafcrown Dryad onto his first one.
The fates conspired to give Zainuddin another land on top of his library, but he had an Aqueous Form to filter his land drops from here in. Young kept plugging away with his team, while Zainuddin had a Griptide on the Leafcrown Elder to slow things down briefly.

Neither player was keen on attacking, Zainuddin drawing all the lands while Young's deck refused to give him his sixth. Eventually it turned up, giving him access to the Sip of Hemlock he'd been sandbagging for most of the game. With the top of his deck rather predictably betraying him at the last, Zainuddin grinned broadly and congratulated his opponent on making the finals.

*Also definitely a real word
Semifinal – Park Jun Young (WB) vs Fabien Li (UW)
This matchup of very similar decks was determined by Wingsteed Riders, Hopeful Eidolons and Wavecrash Triton.
By turn four of game one, both players had Wingsteed Rider bestowed with Hopeful Eidolon, while Fabien had the slight lead with Traveling Philosopher.
Park then stole the lead for a brief moment with Blood-Toll Harpy and Cavern Lampad on his Rider, but Fabien had Voyage's End, Wavecrash Triton and Favored Hoplite to get back in the game.

Park tried to rebuild with Heliod's Emissary on the Eidolon, but Fabien's alpha strike with Dauntless Onslaught and Triton Tactics on his Rider and Hoplite was just enough to seal the game.
Game two was more drawn out.
Hopeful Eidolon on Wingsteed Rider gave Park an early lead, right before Voyage's End copied by Meletis Charlatan negated it.
Park also had an answer for Hundred-Handed One in Glare of Heresy, right before he summoned his own copy of the giant. He secured his lead with a pair of Wingsteed Rider and ways to target them, though Fabien was able to put up quite a struggle by tapping down with Wavecrash Triton and some bounce spells.
In the end though, the Park's sheer board presence was sufficient to win out.

Fabien never lost control of the rubber game.
Park's Blood-Toll Harpy was one-upped by Wingsteed Rider and Hopeful Eidolon. Then Ordeal of Erebos met Celestial Archon and Emissary of Heliod.
Park found a way to deal with the Archon in Devine Verdict, but by then he was too far behind in board position to get back in the game.
Park beats Park 2-1 and is a Grand Prix Kuala Lumpur finalist.
Final – Ryan Young (BG) vs Fabien Li (UW)
The finals of Grand Prix Kuala Lumpur pits Ryan Young of Taiwan against Fabien Li of Singapore in a nail biting finish of four consecutive top decks on both sides of the table.
