So end June is going to be GP Singapore.
Preregistration can be done at http://cleventsgp.com .
As to why it is so expensive is beyond me.
For a similar price, you'd get much more value going for a modern masters GP.
I can't fathom what goes into the price hike from $45 -> $83.
Thankfully, I am a working adult now, more than capable of paying for a GP, albeit an expensive one. Unfortunately, I just have to say that milking people blatantly is not right.
It's not about what you pay but what you get. We don't really get anything out from the $83 that goes in. If the whole event organization goes well, perhaps there could be some justification done to the price but the people I know are not very hopeful with regards to that.
I'm not very sure about what they mean since I wasn't really playing GP Singapore the past 2 times.
Past midnight on the Sunday of GP Singapore, I'll be headed to Paris, to loiter there a few days before heading down to GP Lille to play Legacy.
To prepare for that, I'm in an 8 week, twice a week course to relearn French in a feeble attempt to not be totally unable to communicate. Obviously, if they speak at their normal pace my brain wouldn't be able to comprehend anything (Je ne comprend pas!) but perhaps if I can use kiddy talk they would see my exterior and recognize me for the non-native I am and try to come down to my level and be kind enough to help me out.
I need to get lodging settled by next week I guess. I've been neglecting that.
I'm not worried about GP Singapore. It's like the next train stop from where I live and I know how to get around the Expo. I'll just be working to get the 2 round byes every single week until then and brushing up my deck along the way (Probably like 7-8 more attempts). Even if I do not eventually obtain the byes, I would have enough experience to get past rounds 1 and 2. I don't actually like Modern other than the fact that the lack of Deathrite Shaman makes it possible to let me cast a turn 2 Gurmag Angler and nothing beats the feeling of that.
As for Legacy, I'm currently scheduled to be playing it on Wednesday nights and I wouldn't be putting in much more effort to work on it. I can't actually get any byes for Lille here.
Tue - French class
Wed- Legacy
Thur - French class
Fri - probably church stuff
Sat/Sun - church day/ modern GPT
After mid-July, I would practice some Mtg Origins sealed to prepare for GP Hong Kong which is over the 8-9 August weekend. I don't think that my limited skills have gone down to the point where a core set would baffle me so I think just a daily lingering in the cards should suffice.
After that is another span of 2 months as I build up towards GP Seattle Tacoma.
Thankfully, it seems like we would be able to get GPTs for that going and a top 8 should allow a negotiation for the 2 round byes.
I'll be there to meet my Mtgo friend "Tweaker" and to play in the third and final Legacy GP of the year. (I'm openly hoping that there would be MTG cosplayers there)
I guess that that GP would be my best chance of doing well since I probably wouldn't have any byes for any of the other GPs I'll be attending.
I guess that would be what I'll be up to for this year.
