Road to Seasonals 5/13 Winner's Lineups

Our last Road to Seasonals tournament garnered some of the heavy hitters slugging it out just after noon for the chance at some prizing and good practice just before seasonals. This time we saw Mtuck reign supreme; and now, the lineups

We start off strong here with scouts, Mtuck's list opts for a Shield of Durand over a Sharpsight to keep your key threats alive, and two Blinding assaults to make use of spell mana. The other notable thing here is the 3x Geneveives with no 6thrias.

Even right before Seasonals we see more innovations, this time from NNT with their Teemo Tristana list that has been tearing up ladder for the last day or so. This deck uses Tristana as a huge cheap unit, alongside the Fae package and ionian disruption to prey upon most of the big meta decks.

Glorious Evolution

1

Been a while since I've seen this one. The deck is based around matching the opponent's tempo and slowing down their gameplan before landing a Curious Shellfolk to gain infinite value through trinket trades, then play a Glorious Evolution to make said Otters 10/1s. It's a ludicrous combo deck that I love to see and hate to play against.

Well, it sure is a spicy Fiora deck. It runs 3 Fiora, Rite of Callings to find your fiora, and a whole host of protection and combat spells. Shurima gives her access to some of the best combat spells suck as Quicksand, Siphoning strike, and Desert duel, alongside the Rites for value, and Ancient hourglasses alongside Soothsayers to keep the enemy's hands off. A spicy list to be certain!
