Thank you to everyone who joined us this past weekend! On Sunday, May 17, 2026, we hosted our second official Pokémon TCG: Mega Evolution – Chaos Rising Prerelease event.
We sold out of prerelease kits with 20 eager trainers, all ready to rip open their Build & Battle boxes and see what kind of chaotic synergy they could piece together. The energy in the room was fantastic as players navigated the brand-new mechanics of the Chaos Rising set, trying out fresh strategies on the fly.
Every single participant walked away with their core Build & Battle kit and an additional 3 booster packs upon completing their rounds. However, a few players truly mastered the chaos.
🏆 The Undefeated Top 3
Three rounds of Swiss tournament play produced three entirely undefeated players, each boasting a perfect 3-0-0 match record. Because their points were completely tied, the final standings came down to the razor-thin margins of Opponents’ Win Percentages ($OW\%$).
- 🥇 1st Place: Jacob Masbruch (9 Points / 55.56% OW%) – Jacob secured the ultimate top spot, facing down some of the toughest opponents in the room to edge out the competition via tiebreakers.
- 🥈 2nd Place: Mads Juel Nielsen (9 Points / 47.22% OW%) – Mads put on a masterclass performance, tearing through his bracket without dropping a single match.
- 🥉 3rd Place: Max Woods (9 Points / 47.22% OW%) – Max mirrored Mads perfectly in points and tiebreakers, cementing a phenomenal podium finish.
All three of our top finishers took home extra Prize Packs as a reward for their stellar performance!
