Jokerge had a pretty good anti midrange lineup, but his strategy fell flat in the finals, when his opponent had none of the decks he was aiming to beat, on top of seeing himself on counter matchups.

Despite the controversy around EMEA’s champion, we can’t deny the fact that Böksor winning back to back opens makes him one of the strongest players going into this world championship. His lineup featured a carbon copy of one of the decks he played in the first open - SI SeraphineSeraphine, and it surprisingly only dropped 2 games out of the 14 he played with the deck.

S1mbak’s lineup is very cool because of the triple Eclectic CollectionEclectic Collection Heimer Norra deck but I just dislike the Jarvan IVJarvan IV ShenShen choice. It feels like the lineup demands a NilahNilah ban.

JoJo’s lineup was very well built and he was the last hope of Brazil who managed to get 8 people in the top 16 last sunday but unfortunately that day was someone else’s.

Aj had a very similar lineup to what he had in the first Open of the season, and the decks were virtually the same, only swapping Warden for Formidables. After breathtaking games, he managed to 2-1 JoJo for the back to back win and secure his spot at worlds.
