Drukhari Wins 8-Round Dallas GT

https://web.bestcoastpairings.com/event-placings.php?eventId=bxCjEJaeNu

Huge tournament just wrapping up this weekend, 8 round GT with 177 players.

First of all, congrats to 1st place John Lennon from Art of War! The only undefeated player across all 8 games.

The top 5:

  1. John Lennon / Drukhari - Art of War / 8 wins / 628 pts
  2. Sean Nayden / Aeldari - Team Battle Brothers / 7 wins / 707 pts
  3. Anthony Vanella / Drukhari - Vindicta / 7 wins / 668 pts
  4. Nick Nanavati / Drukhari - Art of War / 7 wins / 655 pts
  5. James Kelling / Drukhari - Frozen North Gaming / 7 wins / 652 pts

Note that Nayden's list is over 1/2 the points on Drukhari datasheets, so arguably he's Drukhari as well. Very dominant performance overall from the faction, at a huge event with lots of players and variety of games. I'll update the post after going through some more stats, and post out some lists if people are interested.

EDIT - Here are the Drukhari stats. If someone wants to double-check that'd be much appreciated.
