The road to the World Championships heated up this past weekend at the Nostalgic Pokémon TCG League Challenge. On April 26, local Trainers gathered to battle for Championship Points, prestige, and—of course—those sweet, sweet Prize Packs.
The Leaderboard: Peter Haagen Sweeps the Field
It was a masterclass in strategy from Peter Haagen, who finished the day with a flawless 3-0-0 record. While Peter took a comfortable lead, the race for the remaining podium spots was a tie-breaker nail-biter. Lone Overgaard secured second place thanks to a formidable Opponents’ Win Percentage, narrowly edging out Chris Hilleborg.
