20 Tweets: SCG Invitational
Magic players qualified for the Star City Games Open Series Invitational event congregated in Indianapolis this past weekend to compete for a Pro Tour-level prize pool that dwarfs any independent tournament series hosted by SCG’s competitors. The usual Twitter coverage of the event was supplemented by arguments, insults and disagreements between some Channel Fireball personalities and fans of the SCG Open series and its players. Players and viewers showed up on Twitter to defend their SCG Open Champion Gerry Thompson. Likewise, fans threw heavy support behind series regular and SCG Blue member Brian Braun-Duin who ended up in Top Eight. In the end, Lauren Nolen took down the event, sporting a Delver deck in both formats and taking down Michael Hetrick in the finals.
About to start round 1 at the #SCGINVI in Indy!

Okay, I'm going to let you guys pick my Legacy deck. Whatever archetype gets the most suggestions, I'll play tomorrow. Hit me! #SCGinvi

Yep, Kobolds sounds good to me. Spread the word! RT @owentweetenwald: @drewlevin Kobolds #scginvi anyone reading this please retweet/suggest

Interesting that @drewlevin says that he will play ANY archetype in the legacy open based on twitter votes, then reneged. @scglive #scginvi

@efropoker well it feels like the SCG tournaments are their own little world, whenever they say "in the world" I just hear "in SCG tourneys"

Stop this 'Gerry's best with Delver' @scglive ffs. Half of the top pros are playing it (LSV, PV etc.), Yuuya even won 2 GP with it. #scginvi

GERRY IS NOT IN THE FINALS. STOP SAYING HIS NAME. STOP. STOP. STOP. STOP. STOP. STOP. STOP. #SCGINVI

ChannelFireball crew needs to lay off, and let it be. It is what it is, grow up, especially Eric. I can appreciate Owen. #scginvi @scglive

So there's a 40%ish drop from the most popular deck to the 2nd most popular deck? Oh hot damn, this is my jam #SCGINVI #Delver
