20 Tweets: Team Work

If you’ve ever wondered how to get over 1,500 Magic players into one location, tell them to band into groups of three and pick out a cool name. Grand Prix San Jose, the first team-based Grand Prix in seven years, clocked in at over 500 teams playing Return to Ravnica Sealed. After 11 rounds, the team of Matt Sperling, David Williams and Paul Rietzl triumphed over Maksym Gryn, Lucas Siow and Jamie Naylor. Congrats to the winners.

Now, I think it is no surprise to anyone that this girl loves Twitter. After this weekend, 20 Tweets has its first ever follow recommendation: Twitterer extraodinaire, Zack Levine @metaknightmare

@bmkibler #GPSJ The demand for team Magic may have been a tad stronger than the supply for an extended period of time.

Many teams at #GPSJ include twice the same name - sign that Magic is becoming a family thing?

Exhausting day 1 of #GPSJ done, we squeaked out day 2 with a 9-2 record. 3 drafts tomorrow before cut to top 2. 4-0 or bust

Finished my #gpsj experience by drafting the bluest Selesnya deck ever.Loving this draft format.

On a plane home. Day 2 cutoff seemed kinda harsh and the day was VERY long but still easily one of the most fun GPs I've played at #GPSJ

Gt a little distracted from my work when a Canadian team made the finals of #GPSJ. Sad they didn’t take it down, but good run!

Reasons why I would be an asset in team sealed. I know how to handle basic lands that aren't blue. #redmageforlife #gpsj

Congrats to @dwpoker, @paulrietzl and @mtg_law_etc for taking down #GPSJ! What a great tournament that was, wish I could have played in it.
