Claiming the Fjords: tournament recap

We’ve heard rumors they hold their little finger out when they destroy you

The Fjords have been claimed by the Gentlemen!
Congratulations not only to the Gentlemen, but also their stiff competition.  We had many great contenders: Zill’s Merry Men took home second, The Paddling third, and SMAC fourth.

If you have four hours to spare and missed the tournament you should watch QWERTY’s stream where you can see some of the best crews in the game facing off against each other. We’ll be posting some of the highlights later on in the week so keep your eyes peeled.

There were a lot of great battles in the tournament.  Our favorite moments were SMAC’s kamikaze level of aggression when they faced Paddling; watching group C’s King Gambit, SMAC, Supplies Surprise, and our own Muse-Possums face off, and Barron’s Best shut out of group A.

We’d like to thank Morbie for getting the ball rolling on the tournament. He did a lot of the heavy lifting and we know he’s going to need a couple days of R&R after everything is said and done. We’d also like to thank Swallow and QWERTY2jam for their help in both setting up the tournament and casting the entire thing. Last but not least are OnionMaster and ATeddyBear for stepping up and helping ref games.

And of course a big thank you to everyone who participated in the tournament or just watched the stream . You have once again proven that Guns of Icarus Online has one of the best gaming communities.
