Shawn Khoo and Tommy Cheaw Wins Comics Corner GPT: KL ’10 (3rd Jan 10)!


Winner - Shawn Khoo


Finalist - Tommy Cheaw

Mono White Tokens takes the top spot 2 weeks in a row! Control also makes a statement declaring its reemergence as well as it took the 2nd 3-byes spot along with 2 other control decks as Shawn Khoo takes the top spot with a concession from Tommy Cheaw at the Comics Corner GPT with 42 players showing up to battle.

3 players proved their master of the Standard format with back to back top 8s as Shawn Khoo, Chye Yian Hsiang and Arif Kamaruddin came back for a repeat performance. Shawn Khoo with his Mono White Tokens however knocked Chye Yian Hsiang and his UWR Control out of the fight before knocking off Clement Lim’s Jund in the semifinals. Tommy Cheaw is a old time veteran that haven’t been seen in tournament tables in a while, much less on a top 8 table, but that is exactly what he did on his return, winning his 3-round byes right out with his Grixis Control, earning a concession from Arif Kamaruddin who already won his 3-round byes, piloting another Grixis Control to the top tables this time, but not before ending Adlin Yusman and his Naya’s bid for the 3-round byes. Arif knocked out Eddy’s R/G Valakut Ramp in the quarterfinals while Clement Lim defeated Woo Wei Jun in a Jund mirror quarterfinals match.
