Hey there everyone.  Well, we now have a date for when the West Coast STS qualifiers (QT’s) will begin, but still no locations at press time.  Also, they’ve given a new estimate for release of Southern Islands (but Neo: Revelations is still “later this year”).  Read on & enjoy...

Have you decided if there will be free trips for the winners of the 15+ Qualifiers?

master_trainer_mike says, "We have no plans on ever giving out trips for 15+ players at this time."

Has the WCSTS Deck Format been decided yet?

master_trainer_mike presents the speaker with question #15 from marril2000:

Any info yet on which area of San Diego the wcsts2 will be in? an address would be nice to know.

master_trainer_mike says, "Nope, no specifics yet."

darkmaster_steve says, "I agree, it would be nice to know"

 

master_trainer_mike presents the speaker with question #111 from marril2000:

why can't you comment yet on the address of the building where the wcsts2

will be held at?

NEO: REVELATIONS (Neo 3):

darkmaster_steve presents the speaker with question #44 from plasma_your_dead:

Any news about neo 3 or Neo 4??? (if this question was already asked, I wasn't here to get the answer)
