20 Tweets: Magic Player’s Championship
This past weekend saw the unfolding of the first ever Magic the Gathering Player’s Championship. All original concerns about the tournament structure and what it was replacing flew out the window as players enjoyed the spectacle of back-to-back matches between some of the best players in the game. This three day event featured Modern, M13 Draft and Cube Draft formats, testing a wide range of player skill, experience and practice.
In the end, Yuuya Watanabe triumphed over Shouta Yasooka 3-2 in a Japanese-dominated finals match. Although Shouta could not break through the Jund shard, the other players and the Twitterverse had his back, congratulating him on an insane run, winning two more pro points total than Watanabe, despite losing in the finals.

@walktheplanes Before they start, sit them in a circle and play spin the bottle. Whoever it lands on you root for. And also kiss.

@karsten_frank Not just the mastery of his deck, but the mastery of Yasooka. It's clear he's put a lot of practice in to this event

Bloodbraid Elf. Still ridiculous, and only gets more so as the card pool gets bigger.

I LOVE BLOODBRAID ELF!

What #mtgpc really shows us is that competitive Magic can indeed be a phenomenal spectator sport when played at the higher level.
