[{"type":"text","content":"\n TAMPA, FL, Jan. 12, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- via NewMediaWire -- Sports Venues of Florida, Inc., (OTCMKTS: BTHR) (“Sports Venues of Florida”, “BTHR”, or the “Company”), an emerging leader in the youth sports, family sports entertainment, and eSports markets, is excited to announce GGtoor.com Chill TCG Showdown event results from January 9, 2021. The second GGtoor Chill TCG Showdown kicked off Saturday morning on January 9th. With registration numbers doubling overnight, the tournament started with 311 players – making this among one of the biggest PTCGO events in recent memory! The event was a “compressed” regional style format, with 2 separate phases of swiss rounds, then a clean cut to top 8 single elimination playoff bracket.

The biggest surprise of Swiss was seeing Mad Party emerge as the #1 seed moving into top 8, and a unique Mewtwo/Rillaboom list emerge as the #2 seed! Top cut was dominated by Centiskorch, with 3 of them in top 8, along with 2 Lucmetals, and 1 Eternatus to round out the playoffs. The top matches were cast by Kevin “Mellow_Magikarp” Clemente and Sackett “SackSack17” Brehmer. Both Casters did a fantastic job, and hundreds of viewers tuned in to cheer on their favorite competitors and decks! Many in the top cut were new faces, but one familiar face was Thomas Brophy, who was piloting his classic Centiskorch list, which he has been piloting with success, collecting many 1st and 2nd place finishes throughout the last few months over several online tourn...
