Flesh and Blood - Pro Tour: Los Angeles: Top 8 and Decks

This weekend, from March 22nd to March 24th, over a thousand players took part in Los Angeles' Flesh and Blood Pro Tour, Calling, and Battle Hardened. Besides competing for a total price pool of $1,500,000 USD, players also competed for PTIs (invites for major events to come), and also heard all the news about Flesh and Blood's future events first-hand.

In one of the non-competitive events held over this weekend, LSS, the company behind this incredible game, announced Flesh and Blood would be featured at the 2024 GenCon, where they would debut their newest learn to play experience.

They also announced the 2024 Flesh and Blood World Championship will be held in Osaka, Japan.

Furthermore, they also announced a few extra events across the world: ProQuest Amsterdam in April 2024, The Calling: Tokyo in May 2024 (when they will also premiere the new set, Part the Mistveil, worldwide), and The Calling: Tampa Bay in September 2024* (when they will also premiere set 14).

A minor part of this weekend-long event, the Battle Hardened: Los Angeles featured some very iconic names of Flesh and Blood's competitive scene, who battled for more prizes.

1 - Kevin Brayer

2 - Brodie Spurlock
