I was able to finish my first RQ in Lille with a Score of 10-3 and 80th Place overall. This got me to be 4th best Viktor tied with the same Score such a Best of Winner @AgazapadoGG and Viktor Legend and former Best of winner @ghosterdriver. pretty satisfied.Matchups in comments

@ebilshrimp Yeah, I think I remember your face. Thanks!!! Regarding Draven: It is a hard matchup and hard to give general tips :/ I often opted for slow starts, traded units and didn't score myself, waiting for Bellows combos for a clear. Some games I could just overrun the Draven player.

@ghosterdriver It was a pleasure to speak with you at the event! I realised I never introduced myself but I was the guy with the longer hair and blue patterned jacket. Super interesting list! Good luck next event, I hope I get to face you one day. Any tips Vs this Draven ver? It was hard

I finished Lille with a score of 10-3 -> 67th place and 3rd best Viktor (to tiebreakers) - feels bad to lose best of to 4% OMW. Tried some things with Ornn, B.F.Swords and Card Sharps as Kai'sa counter, but in the end went back to mostly the Bologna list, but with B.F.Swords.

@CubiaNam Hey! Thanks! I have a Viktor guide on metafy. I guess it aims at players at multiple skill levels.

@ghosterdriver Congratz! Any tips and guides for nee Viktor players?

@SenorCerdo_TFT Those cards early hurt a lot. Just redevelop. If they have a lot of runes open or your recruit or unit just dies on their turn to a push you can stay in base to prevent it from dieing.

@ghosterdriver Any advice to play against early kaisa, im always getting destroyed by ray and falling the first turns

@FKwegwerf With Treasure Hoard still fine and has some use cases here and there ... Draven Treasure Hunter, Viktor multiple, Kai'sa Poros, Azir pretty good and in the others you side in Stupefy, Sprite Call and now have good cards.

@ghosterdriver im wondering how pcikpocket even does without many seal maining decks around ...

@SenorCerdo_TFT Last game day 1 and he missed Plundering Poro and Ravenbloom Triggers because he was tired. Close match regardless and those are not game winning on their own. In game 2 double B.F.Sword in the late game just equipping a recruit was enough value. We both shooted everything.

@ghosterdriver How did you play against the kaisa?

I always love to see cosplayers and last time I knew like 20 people from locals and now also a lot of Viktor enjoyers greeted me and I know more players - I had only fair and chill opponents. I had a really good time :) Now driving home. See you in Sydney/Utrecht!

@WrestleManiac_0 One play against Leona (Watcher instead of Imperial Decree) Maybe one play against Draven, but not sure about it. (played Viktor tapping out to hold with 18might+hidden Hidden Blade), but he had 20 might with Draven+Against the Odds and Hard Bargain (both 2nd copy in this game.)

@ghosterdriver What would you change if you had the chance?

@strzprld B.F.Sword is in the tech options list rn. I will update the guide with my Lille list and experience. I will try Viktor but I'm flying to Sydney and want to get Top64 and will focus on playing one of the best decks - I have only lookef at the Mind/Order cards so far ...

@ghosterdriver good stuff man, been thinking about getting your guide, are those ideas included there? i like the bf sword here as a concept also are you planning to continue cookin viktor in regards to unleashed?

@nzaruop Those two battlefields are the ones I played before. I like them. The problem is I like them and Vilemaws, Arenas and Void Gate and can't decide.

@ghosterdriver What do you think of Ravenbloom Conservatory and Treasure Hoard? I know Lair is good against irelia but what about arena? I am expecting lots of Irelias/Dravens and Reksai's

The date for the bans was announced, but as always time flies by and now we are two weeks before the RQ Lille and three before Atlanta. With the obvious winners and losers of the bans I think the first impression of Irelia, Kai'sa and Viktor being the top 3 decks is correct.

@QuakrG0ats @SandaloADC yes, in Bologna I faced only one and won. I think Kai'sa wasn't much represented so 0-2 matches against Kai'sa is the expected range I think

@SandaloADC @ghosterdriver u lucky u saw no Kai'sas

Played and won a Skirmish yesterday, I had no deck post banns, so I brought Viktor since its very cheap. The list is similar to @ghosterdriver (ty) I just changed a few cards to my liking. R1: Ezreal (2-1) R2: Azir (2-1) R3: Yi (2-0) R4: Viktor(2-0) Top 4: Viktor(2-0) Final 🤝

@gotdamb yes

@ghosterdriver is it arenas greatest going first void gate going second?

The Metalab is a nice tool for creators to create sideboard guides and board states. Really nice for visuals in guides. Ans they added a small feature to the sideboard guide creator extra for me - thanks! :)

@SealerTheDealer I think Watcher is the better card, big body, one sided effect , can score on his own without losing other cards. Imperial Decree is a much more situational and often needs Recruit sacrifices.

@ghosterdriver What is your opinion on the split between watcher and imperial decree? Pre bans I liked to run 3 decree and two watcher. Now I can see with FoF gone watcher is much stronger and worth a 3 of. Why do you also prefer to have 3 watcher instead of 3 decrees in the main deck?

@aleumatheus Green decks have not so fast and getting Singularity acountered hurts, so having a 6 Might and then the ability countered is a lot better. Twin to Singularity and it is situational which one is better.

@ghosterdriver Thanks for sharing man! What is the idea behind Riptide in the side? When is the situation that he came in?

@JustinMPatry @Dense_LoL Vengeance also cannot be defied. Defy has a maximum of 4 energy and 1 power and Vengeance costs 2 power. Both can be not so fasted and may have additional deflect costs. Drag Under 5e/1p action speed only bfs vs. Vegeance 4e/2p slow speed everywhere. King's Edict seems playable.

@Dense_LoL @ghosterdriver Vengeance can be defy’ed. Drag Under can only be Not So Fast’ed and Wind Wall’ed. Given cost I would argue King’s Edict is perhaps a better pick given its ephemeral nature (non-target, can only be Wind Wall’ed).

@Trustian0 Unlucky :/ Best card in the deck^^ Rex/Singularity/Sprite Mother are fine replacement, but a lot worse. With 2 Watchers missing, I would also replace a Bellows Breath for one of these. (It looses value without the combo potential)

@ghosterdriver How can I replace 2 watchers? (No one wants to sell me one 🥀🥀)

@FanaticalDm ahh missing Watcher is bad, kinda must have (for competitive) :/ I think I would replace (if you are missing all 3 of them) them and a Bellows Breath for 2 Sprite Mothers, 1 Riptide Rex and 1 Singularity for scoring potential and removal.

@ghosterdriver If I don't have watchers, what would you replace them with?
