Ben Kreis is the Sydney, Australia $10K Champion! Ben played his “Fearsome Knights” deck to great success all through the Swiss rounds and in the Top 8. Not only did Ben walk away with $2,500 for his trouble, he also got to make his own mark in the history of the Vs. System game.

The Sydney tournament  was the first major Vs. System tournament to use the controversial new one-game match format in the Swiss rounds. Whether players love or hate the proposed format, everyone’s got an opinion. The debate has raged on all the major Vs. System websites, and Sydney was the players’ first chance to see it in action. It proved to be no obstacle for Ben in his path to victory. Congratulations, Ben!
