Xu Fei Sets Up His Victory in Hong Kong!

Day 2 Coverage

After fifteen rounds of Swiss and three elimination rounds, we have our Grand Prix champion! Wielding the power of Urza's Tower, Urza's Power Plant, and Urza's Mine, Xu Fei of China steamrolled through the competition to come out on top.

To win his first Grand Prix title, he had to defeat Xu Siying in the quarterfinals, Quinton Lip in the semifinals, and then Takumi Utsunomiya in the finals. Rounding off the Top 8 were quarterfinalists Xiong Jian, Tan Lun Yi, Naonari Hoshide, and semifinalist Shota Takao -the most experienced player in the Top 8 with five Grand Prix Top 8s to his name.

After Grand Prix Hong Kong and Grand Prix Stockholm's conclusion, all eyes will be focused upon the World Championships in Las Vegas, as well as the arrival of Guilds of Ravnica which will impact multiple formats.

Just for now, we invite the world to congratulate Xu Fei for winning Grand Prix Hong Kong 2018! Good job for enduring the competition and for surviving the storm!
