It's been just over a year since Upper Deck Entertainment released its groundbreaking Vs. System game. Thirteen months, six sets, and three Pro Circuits later, the biggest organized play and marketing campaigns ever to support a new game have rocked the industry to its core! The Vs. System is an undeniable powerhouse, and this weekend, players get to reap the benefits as we light up the city that never sleeps and bring you all the action live. Welcome to Pro Circuit New York!

 

The main event begins tomorrow, but today, hundreds of players showed up to duke it out for the last few chances to qualify. Who could blame them? With $250,000 up for grabs, along with artist signings, exclusive new promos, and plenty of high profile side events, the siren song of Vs. can be heard for miles.

 

The Javits Center has already been swarmed by the best pros in the northeast and the world over, with expected appearances from players like Adam Prosak, Josh Wiitanen, Ryan Jones, and Carl Perlas, and some unexpected faces like the prodigal Rob Leander. In what is arguably the best location thus far for a PC event, PC New York is sure to be the biggest and most hotly contested Vs. tournament in the game's history.

 

In true Vs. fashion, the metagame for tomorrow is still incredibly difficult to peg down. While some believe Fantastic Fun to be a shoe-in as the format's best archetype, others are speculating a significant return to Teen Titans specifically because of the difficulty involved in playing FFun. Many competitors testing Dean Sohnle's brainchild are likely to think twice at the last second. But interesting numbers from local dealers point towards another trend, as the number one selling single on site thus far has been Mojoverse. The under-played location is potential hot new tech for Curve Sentinels, and some dealers sold out of it in just hours this afternoon. It's a fact that may spell out tomorrow's environment very clearly.

 

Join us all weekend here at Metagame.com as we bring you live interviews, match coverage, deck profiles, metagame info, and the best in innovation. With what is likely to be the most explosive gathering of Vs. personalities ever, Pro Circuit New York is bound to be filled with drama, excitement, and surprises that will shape the game for months to come!
