Smuggling operation (3rd at sweden nats)

aksu 769

I was going for the standard Finnish past time trip to sweden to get some snus (zyns with tobacco in them to the amercan readers) to sell back home. Sadly during the trip I was informed they sell nicotine pouches in Finland now and my profit margins had dropped massively. Needing a thing to pivot for I happened to stumble across a nationals event happening during the same time. Luckily another TAIB Breaker Auggy was also attending the same event. Small world huh?

The actual tournament was actually hella sick. Friday got drinks with the fams after stumbling around Malmö for 2 hours and getting some bubble tea (was tasty as). Saturday during swiss I won against a RH and PD and managed to ID ID into the cut against Auggy 2 times in a row. (SSS apparently does not fix all the issues). Also got to really sweat it out with playing RH against a Esa on stream when the punitive was nowhere to be seen. Sunday was topcut where I performed kinda like I expected. Really sick game against Naim (the great TO and a just great fam) and then lost to Auggy when fam got INCREDIBLY LUCKY. YOU KNOW YOU WHERE DEF GONNA DIE NEXT TURN (<3 :D). and then kinda made a bad line against Tratt witch was sad. But fam played it good so cant really blame it on anything.

I am bit sad that my netrunner career dream of winning a swedish nationals and just stunting on the people is over with the change to megacitys but hopefully there will be a even bigger event to win and stunt over all the Nordics at that point. a fam can just dream.

Deck is pretty solid if anybody cares. I changed a weird looking dog into a Ice Carver becouse I was bit afraid of archers showing up currently but never installed the card so "bad change LAMAO" etc etc. Corp side did not want to play PD at the time for some reason so brought my 2nd love deck rn Puntive Jinteki with just copying the Bridgemans list. It is pretty good just have to play it better next time.

Pretty sick start to a Nationals season in europe tho. 3rd place and victory to TAIB so QTM and EA sport better try picking up speed to catch up :D.

Oh yea I think its customary to also shout people out in these so first shoutting out Auggy for being a wonderful friend and a companion on the trip. Naim for being a incredible TO and organizing the great event. Postis and Rhahi for Judging and Rest of the TAIB family watching at home and sending encouraging messages.

Hope to catch up with even more people at German nats in 2 weeks 0u0 and if you are planning to go to a event after a week from that I would be really happy to see people at FI+Baltic nats.

SASHAARB Friendos!
