Well here we are, enjoying the first week of April. The days are pleasant, the flowers are blooming, the vibes are good...what could possibly ruin this springtime bliss?
DUEL OF THE FATES!!!! Or, more specifically, listening to the climactic track "Duel of the Fates" over 100 times in one sitting while playing the ever-stressful Star Wars Epic Duels!!! The annual April Duel is sure to test the nerves and crack the psyche or our dozen Duelers...all to win the ugliest trophy in the league - the Darth Maul head! #totallyworthit
What's even scarier than that is it's the second to last Duel of the academic year! Time is running out to make a Dueling memory! Speaking of which...(gratuitous plug incoming)...we have two spots open for our planned 12 12-way weekend in June. June 19-22 we're playing 12 Duels in a row. We'll have a mixture of character combos, all 12 league boards will be used, one Duel will feature 12 brand new characters for the league...and maybe a few other tricks up our sleeves! The cost is $250 - that gets us a nice Airbnb to lock ourselves into for three nights/four days, plus all the food you'll need to grind out Duels from morning to midnight. If that cost is too steep but you might be able to meet us halfway, etc., reach out to Rob - we'd love to have you play!

MEET THE DUELERS:
So who is insane enough to listen to "Duel of the Fates" on repeat for 4+ hours? Here's who!
Caden - Caden has played four times with us, but has only ever finished sixth or twelfth. That's a weird pattern! He'd love to crack that code on the Kamino Platform.
Curtis - He finally got the monkey off of his back! Curtis took home the Imperial March Duel trophy last month as his Tobias Beckett survived the Conveyex Train board! It was his first win in 3.5 years.
Eric - Speaking of weird patterns...over Eric's first two career games, he finished fifth both times. Then he finished in tenth place last month. What's 5+5? TEN!!! What does this mean for Eric? Absolutely nothing!
Grant - Grant is making his 2025 debut at Duel of the Fates after calling in sick last month. April was his best month in 2024 - he won two Duels, back to back! Can he defend the Maul trophy...?
Ian - Ian took last month off to bask in March Madness games...but man, the bracket this year is chalk! If there's one Dueler who can tune out "Duel of the Fates" on repeat, it's Ian!
James - This marks James' first game since winning with Princess Leia at the February Valentine's Duel! It's official - James has fallen in love with winning 12-way Duels.
Jonah - Jonah got jacked up on the Conveyex Train at last month's Duel, where his Stranger finished in dead last as the board unexpectedly united against him, unprovoked. It's payback time for Jonah!
Jordann - TOP RANKED DUELER ALERT!!! Despite another heart-breaking third place finish on her resume last month, Jordann did manage to displace Rob as the top ranked Dueler in the league right now!
Josiah - The Imperial March was rough for Josiah too. His Captain Phasma, just by starting position on a congested board, got dumped in eleventh by being stuck in an unavoidable kill box. He'll take a rebound performance at Duel of the Fates.
Michael - Look who's back at the table! Dueling pro Michael, soon to be a new father this summer, is back in action. He last played at the 2024 Championship...where he finished in second place!
Rob - Seriously. We only need two more Duelers for the 12x12 in June!!! This is a once in a lifetime event. You'll tell your Dueling grand kids all about it!!! Sign up ASAP with Rob!!!
Sam - This is Sam's first Duel back since finishing in second place at the January A New Hope match! He'd love to join his fellow Teal CLs as a Dueler with a trophy in their trophy case.
