Don’t Miss The Epic Prize Support at Genghis Con 2022
The Legion Tournament at Genghis Con is only a couple of weeks away (Saturday, February 26th) , and the prize support is shaping up to be legendary! In this post, we’re going to cover some the nerd swag you’ll get or have a chance at winning if you join in on the action.
Everyone
Everyone who plays all three rounds will take home some epic promos and prizes. Rumor has it that prizes will be handed out gradually over the rounds, so everyone has a reason to stay and play regardless of their win loss record. Specifically, players will receive:

In addition the goodies everyone will receive, there will be several awards and raffle prizes!

Undefeated Players - The event runs 3 rounds, which means depending on how many players participate, we will have 3-4 undefeated players. All of these players will be crowned champions, and will receive a trophy for going undefeated at Genghis Con. Additionally, they will get the first pick at our top prize pool before we raffle off the remaining items. To make the selection process as fun and as fair as possible, the undefeated players will play a mini game to see who can roll the most crits. Whoever has the hottest white attack dice will get first choice, and so on. After the undefeated players have selected their prizes, the remaining prizes will be raffled off randomly to participants who stayed until the end of the tournament!

Special Bounty
The rumor on the holonet is that Genghis Con may have a special guest joining into the fray - LJ Pena (@TalkPolite)! If you don’t know LJ, he handles official rules questions on the AMG forums, runs LVO, is admin on both the Legion Discord and Facebook pages, and is an all around cool guy. Thus, the only reasonable thing for 5280 to do to welcome him to Denver…. was to place a bounty on his head! Whoever can defeat LJ first at Genghis Con will win a new in box Dengar Bounty Hunter Pop Vinyl (provided by Jacob Cobb (@DewdGuy)). If LJ manages to conquer the mountains and go undefeated, he will claim the prize himself!
