Day 2 Coverage
The Mexican trio of Dagoberto Silva, Marcelino Freeman, and Daniel Becerra was high on our list of notable teams right from the start. These three decided to make a stop in Liverpool before traveling on to Barcelona for the World Magic Cup where they'd represent their home country in the battle of 74 national teams a week later.
Team Unified Modern drew big crowds and big names all around of course, and Team Mexico was but one of 504 teams initially. Then, after the Day 2 cut, they were one of 67 teams. Then they were one of four teams to make it to the playoffs, along with three squads from Spain. And finally, it was their turn to hoist the trophies, the second for team captain Marcelino Freeman and a good omen for things to come.
Congratulations Dagoberto Silva, Marcelino Freeman, and Daniel Becerra, champions of Grand Prix Liverpool 2018!
Day 1 Coverage
504 teams, 1,512 players, came to Liverpool to show their mastery of Modern. After the first day's eight rounds, only 67 teams remained in the running. Leading the charge into Sunday were Francisco Sanchez, Mattia Rizzi, and Cristian Ortiz, as well as Niels Molle, Piotr Głogowski, and Joao Choca.
These six would have a head start over the competition on Day 2, but said competition was fierce. The team of Thiago Rodrigues, Eduardo Sajgalik, and Jérémy Dezani, as well as Ondřej Stráský, Alexander Hayne, and Jason Chung, to drop but a few big names, all managed to go 7-1.
With a cast like that and spells being cast as typical for Modern, this promised another exciting and entertaining day. Join us then for all the latest and all the action, straight from the battlefield of Grand Prix Liverpool 2018!
