(300 Modern) Phoenix Nest’s Matt Greichunos wins 5th Super Qualifier with… Jakeem!

ROC Tournament Results logo

Single-Elimination Playoffs

One of the last events before the rotation and the format is definitely diverse.  Matt Greichunos of Team Phoenix Nest wins his 5th Super Qualifier with the ubiquitous Jakeem Thunder.  He beat out perennial top finisher Daniel Powell in the Finals and his Lex Luthor team.  Congrats, Matt!

Analysis:

Matt & Dan

Even though Jakeem is reigning supreme at both WKO and ROC events, it is good to see that the format is diverse and healthy.  With so many options, players can tool with the largest Modern Age pool of the year.  As you can see below, another 8 different archetypes in the Top 8 (Jakeem, Lex Luthor, Robots, Quinjet, Iceman, The Weird, Brainiac Skull Ship, KC Superman).  The old staples like Lex Luthor IDs and Quinjet are around, but a return of a top piece in Iceman is a nice addition to the format.  With rotation just a few days away, this is the last couple of times you will see these teams in this form before everything changes next week!
