Who would be crazy enough to play two games in one night? I'm glad you asked! Meet the twelve brave souls searching for Duels glory:
Alex
Alex is a two-time 12-way league champion (three if you count the first ever CL Retreat match). No longer a CL, the president of the LEAD community is a cagey strategist who finished fourth place with Han Solo in his last duel, May the 4th Be With You.
Chris K.
The NoRo RHD and self-styled Watto of Epic Duels board game trafficking, Chris is a crafty veteran and operator of several underground Duel games in his church and residence hall. Chris finished in third place at the May the 4th match but a disappointing ninth at the CL Retreat.
Curtis
Curtis hasn't competitively dueled since the May the 4th match either, but this summer during the singles tournament he was a stunning 8-0 in his first round matches. Curtis, ranked third, has two trophies on his mantle and is eager for more hardware.
Elysa
Elysa is a dueling rookie who made a strong showing at the CL Retreat side game that featured 10 players, finishing second place with Vader. A former pupil of Rob's, is the student ready to overthrow the master?
Ethen
Though officially new to this dueling league, the word on the street is that Ethen took down eleven of his NoRo peers in a bootleg match during Welcome Week. How will this rookie handle the pressures of playing at the highest level of dueling competition?
JD
Another experienced professional with the intelligence to take down the rest of the board, JD was off to an outstanding start with Mace Windu at the CL Retreat until the Emperor devastated him with the "You Will Die" card and a tenth place finish. Be scared - retribution is near!
Nathan
Nathan's eighth place finish with Boba Fett at the CL Retreat belies a natural grasp of the finer intricacies of 12-way Duels. His Boba punished all of those before him, and he has displayed strong loyalty to his alliances.
Rob
The number one ranked professional and five time winner might be officially out of his gourd. He's writing about himself in the third person and spending a shameful amount of time on this new blog. He has not traditionally played well at the Double Header and will need to be at his best.
Ryan
Ryan is the second ranked professional and winner of the 2014 Championship. Has he spent the summer seething over his early exit at the May the 4th match last Spring? His eleven competitors will find out soon enough!
Sakina
Sakina got a close glimpse of the promised land with her outstanding second place finish with Yoda at the CL Retreat a couple of weeks ago. She has finally recovered from her 2014 Championship ouster. Pray when you sit across from her you don't hear her famous battle cry: "We're dueling."
Stephen
You would never have known Stephen was a rookie to the ways of dueling based on his strong third place finish with Darth Maul at the CL Retreat. His timing with Maul's aggressive nature was impeccable. Expect big things from this noob.
Tommy
Little is known about Tommy - this dueling rookie could be the dark horse others ignore at risk of their own peril. Does he have the fortitude to take on such an accomplished table?
So who will win the two games at the Double Header? Let's ask the experts:
JAR JAR AND OBI-WAN PREDICT THE WINNERS:
So Jar Jar, who you got winning these matches?
 |
| "Mesa think emperor is boom-bad! Wesa like da Luke too! Mesa be betting a rook-rook win one, and a veteran!" |
Ok...Obi-Wan, what is your prediction?
 |
| "I will win both Duels. I suggest these Dulers pick me. I have the high ground." |
