Content of Champions
A total of ten Regionals were held in June at Neutral Ground and other "OverPower Ally" game centers around the US and Canada. Enthusiastic contenders traveled hundred of miles (in some cases) to complete for prizes which included Marvel comic subscriptions, card boxes, promos, and uncut sheets. The ultimate die-hards showed their stuff and a plethora of winners were declared pre-qualifiers for the OverPower Nationals.
The remaining portion of this season's top opponents was determined on the first first of play at the Wizard World convention in Chicago, Illinois. Nearly 100 hopefuls (more than any other game's gatherings that weekend!) fought brutal batles on that Friday, as many Regionals winners played fun side games or looked on. All would be allowed the privilege of continuing on the nextday, as the ladder to the top of the OP world unfolded!
The two-day Nationsl slugfest on July 18th and 19th proved to be the rougest, toughest, most exciting contest ever in the annals of Legion' activities. The game's elite decks of the day duked it out on Battlesite Chicago: Marauders/X-Babies teams, Four Freedons Plaza teams, "lock out" teams meant to win games on a Venture of 7 Missions, even teams using Any-Character cards shone out amongst the pack!
But who would capture the glory of being crowned the 1998-1999 Champion? None other than Duncan Yuen, 17-year old player from Ontario, Canada. His deck included Marauders, X-Babies, Heroes for Hire, Flash (in Reserve), Marvel Universe Homebase, Onslaught's Citadel Battlesite, and Eye Of The Storm Missions. Duncan is enjoying his 12 months of fame thanks to his game-winning combos (Vertigo feeds the Babies all the Power cards while Black Knight Specials follow up with critical Knock Outs) and he can't wait for the mystery playing card with his likeness to get released someday as part of his big Nationals prize (also including three pieces of original card artwork, subscriptions to every Marvel comic, and hundreds of playing cards)! We'd like to congratulate Duncan and all of the players who made it to the 1998 Regionals and Nationals.
