Two Top 8 matches (Frank vs Dreitzler, Dobberstein vs Cucinelli) were played on the floor and not streamed. Results were announced on the broadcast and are listed below.
Day 1: Swiss Rounds
Round 4: Curulo vs Hedrick
Sam Curulo (Slowking) vs Andrew Hedrick (Dragapult Hammers)
The defending World Champion opens the 2027 season on the big stage.
Results
| Game | Winner | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Game 1 | Andrew Hedrick | Hedrick's pair of Crushing Hammer heads plus Itchy Pollen item-lock bought him time to sweep all six prizes with a single Phantom Dive turn. |
| Game 2 | Andrew Hedrick | Curulo started slow again. Hedrick dropped an Unfair Stamp after Curulo finally took prizes, then closed with a top-decked Boss's Orders. |
Andrew Hedrick wins 2-0.
Round 5: Smith vs Austester
Dylan Smith (Slowking) vs Nathan Austester (N's Zoroark)
A recorded floor feature — the aged-up former Senior standout's Zoroark against Slowking. Stream joins in game 2, Nathan up 1-0.
Results
| Game | Winner | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Game 2 | Nathan Austester | Nathan opened with a two-prize lead, then used Team Rocket's Watchtower to lock out Mega Kangaskhan's draw and shredded Dylan's hand turn after turn with Thieving Swipe. A Boss's Orders on the Latias EX sealed the win. |
Nathan Austester wins 2-0.
Round 6: White vs Byum
Cali White (Basic Box) vs James Byum (Garchomp EX)
Basic Box against a Cynthia's Garchomp build.
Results
| Game | Winner | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Game 1 | Cali White | A quick donk — Byum whiffed his basics (double Gible prized), and White used Crispin + Energy Switch with the Rapid Fire Combo to KO the Roselia on turn two. |
| Game 2 | Cali White | The marathon: Garchomp's Neo Upper Draconic Buster took out the Kangaskhan for a 5-1 prize lead, but Byum whiffed on energy (it sat in his last prize). White set up 300 damage on the Garchomp and finished with a Fezandipiti Cruel Arrow sniping the Gabite from the bench. |
Cali White wins 2-0.
Round 7: Za vs Reinhardt
Kevin Za (Mega Lopunny / Mega Frostlass) vs Adam Reinhardt (Mega Sharpedo / Toxicril)
A rogue-vs-rogue main-stage feature of three-Mega decks.
Results
| Game | Winner | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Game 1 | Adam Reinhardt | Reinhardt's Mega Sharpedo one-shot the early Mega Frostlass with Hungry Jaws + Binding Mochi, and game one ended with a Monkey Dory-boosted KO on Mega Lopunny. |
| Game 2 | Adam Reinhardt | A slow resource war. Za couldn't find a stadium or water energy, and Reinhardt pieced together a last-turn Prime Catcher + Night Stretcher + Team Rocket's Petrol line to get the darkness energy and KO the Mega Lopunny. |
Adam Reinhardt wins 2-0.
Round 8: Brewer vs Alves
Chris Brewer (Mega Lucario) vs Thiago Alves (Dragapult Dusknoir)
Brewer takes down his fifth Dragapult of the day to finish 8-0.
Results
| Game | Winner | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Game 1 | Chris Brewer | A six-prize sweep: he hit the Jamming Tower to move his Makuhita, KO'd the lone Drakloak, and ran away before Alves' Dusknoir engine could turn on. |
| Game 2 | Chris Brewer | Alves got an early Itchy Pollen lock and an Unfair Stamp, but Brewer benched a second Lunatone to guarantee Lunar Cycle, then closed with Mega Brave + double Premium Power Pro to KO the Dragapult EX. |
Chris Brewer wins 2-0.
Round 8: Umstead vs Justin C
Zack Umstead (Alakazam Toucannon) vs Justin C (N's Zoroark)
A floor feature between Alakazam and Zoroark. Stream joins in game 2, Zack up 1-0.
Results
| Game | Winner | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Game 2 | Zack Umstead | Justin weathered an early Unfair Stamp, but Zack's big-hand Powerful Hand knockouts plus the Toucannon 2-Cannon line kept the prize race out of reach. Justin couldn't find the pieces under the disruption. |
Zack Umstead wins the match.
Round 9: Jordan vs Samuel
Jordan (Dragapult Hammers) vs Samuel (Mega Chandelure)
The first Phase 2 match, streamed the evening of Day 1.
Results
| Game | Winner | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Game 1 | Jordan | Jordan played a deliberately clean board (no Budew liability), so Samuel's Chandelure retreat-lock and 200-HP walls never got going. A turn-three Phantom Dive plus a Jamming Tower trapping Mega Chandelure in the active decided it. |
| Game 2 | Jordan | A dead draw for Samuel — he was left passing with Shaman active while Jordan cruised. |
Jordan wins 2-0.
Day 2: Swiss Rounds & Top Cut
Round 11: Dalgard vs Dobberstein
Owen Dalgard (Lopunny Dusknoir) vs Ben Dobberstein (Hydrapple Meganium)
Day 2's opening stage match.
Results
| Game | Winner | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Game 1 | Ben Dobberstein | Teal Mask Ogerpon EX acceleration plus Meganium's Wild Growth let Hydrapple EX hit 330+ one-shot damage through Owen's Evolution Jammer. A commanding board and a Boss's Orders finish. |
| Game 2 | Ben Dobberstein | Owen grabbed an early turn-two KO, but Ben answered with Unfair Stamp into a full Meganium + Hydrapple + 5-energy turn that KO'd Mega Lopunny EX and ran away with the set. |
Ben Dobberstein wins 2-0.
Round 11: Frank vs Cha
Josh Frank (Alakazam) vs Alexander Cha (Dragapult)
A preview of the Alakazam control build that would take the top seed. Stream joins in game 2, Josh up 1-0.
Results
| Game | Winner | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Game 2 | Josh Frank | Josh used Handheld Fan, Elgyem's energy-denial, and Nighttime Mine to strand Dragapult's fire energies on Budew and shut down Phantom Dive. The game ended on a concession/time as Alexander simply couldn't assemble an attack. |
Josh Frank wins the match.
Round 13: Potti vs Su
Rohit Potti (Dragapult Hammers) vs Ethan Su (Team Rocket's Honchkrow)
A win-and-in-adjacent top-table clash.
Results
| Game | Winner | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Game 1 | Rohit Potti | A 25-minute slog: Ethan came one supporter short of a one-shot Rocket Feathers on multiple turns, and Rohit cycled nearly his whole deck, then bossed around Honchkrow for damage-counter knockouts with Monkey Dory. |
| Game 2 | Rohit Potti | Ran long and went to time with Rohit in full control under an Itchy Pollen lock. |
Rohit Potti wins the match.
Round 14: Halliburton vs Mville
Liam Halliburton (Dragapult) vs Kira Mville (Dragapult)
An exact-60 Dragapult mirror that decided a top-cut spot.
Results
| Game | Winner | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Game 1 | Liam Halliburton | A 35-minute slugfest. Kira grabbed the lead with a two-prize Phantom Dive turn, but Liam answered with Rosa's Encouragement + Unfair Stamp + a Boss's Orders on the prized-out Dunsparce to choke off her draw. |
| Game 2 | Liam Halliburton | Kira mulliganed three times and had no basics. Liam's turn-three Phantom Dive put her on the clock, and he closed 2-0 to punch his ticket at a clean 35 points. |
Liam Halliburton wins 2-0.
Round 14: Josh vs Dobberstein
Josh (Mega Lucario) vs Ben Dobberstein (Teal Mask Ogerpon Meganium Hydrapple)
A win-and-in floor feature — the winner went to top cut. Stream joins in game 2, Ben up 1-0.
Results
| Game | Winner | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Game 2 | Ben Dobberstein | Ben's Meganium/Hydrapple burst out of the gates with two stage-twos and a loaded Teal Mask. Josh needed a third Premium Power Pro to get through the 330-HP Hydrapple and never found it. Ben closed with a one-shot Myriad Leaf Shower for his first-ever top cut. |
Ben Dobberstein wins the match.
Top 8: White vs Potti
Cali White (Basic Box) vs Rohit Potti (Dragapult Hammers)
Potti's breakout quarterfinal.
Results
| Game | Winner | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Game 1 | Rohit Potti | White took an early two-prize lead, but Potti Boss's Orders'd the Latias instead of the Clefairy to deny her card draw, then Unfair Stamped and set up a four-prize Phantom Dive turn. |
| Game 2 | Rohit Potti | Nearly identical. White clawed back with a Clefairy Full Moon Rondo to go to two prizes, but a Crushing Hammer heads on her psychic energy plus an Itchy Pollen left her one energy short. |
Rohit Potti wins 2-0.
Top 8: Kasturi vs Halliburton
Dylan Kasturi (Basic Box) vs Liam Halliburton (Dragapult Hammers)
Stream joins the deciding game 3, tied 1-1.
Results
| Game | Winner | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Game 3 | Dylan Kasturi | Kasturi's Hero's Cape took Clefairy EX to 290 HP so Phantom Dive couldn't answer it, and the Clefairy ground down every Dragapult. Liam mounted a comeback with a Boss's Orders + Crushing Hammer heads and an Unfair Stamp, but Kasturi found the Area Zero Underdepths + energy to KO the Dragapult for the final prizes. |
Dylan Kasturi wins 2-1.
Top 8: Frank vs Dreitzler
Josh Frank (Alakazam Dudunsparce) vs Mark Dreitzler (Slowking)
Played on the floor (not on the main stage stream).
Results
| Game | Winner | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Full match | Mark Dreitzler | The lone Slowking in the cut took out the number-one seed. The casters noted Frank's Alakazam list ran no Shaman, which made the Slowking Trio Frost matchup almost unwinnable. |
Mark Dreitzler wins the match.
Top 8: Dobberstein vs Cucinelli
Ben Dobberstein (Hydrapple Meganium) vs Nicholas Cucinelli (Basic Box)
Played on the floor (not on the main stage stream).
Decklists: Dobberstein · Cucinelli
Results
| Game | Winner | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Full match | Ben Dobberstein | Ben advanced through Cucinelli to reach the semifinals; the match itself wasn't shown on stream. |
Ben Dobberstein wins the match.
Top 4: Dreitzler vs Dobberstein
Mark Dreitzler (Slowking) vs Ben Dobberstein (Hydrapple Meganium)
The first semifinal — a dedicated VOD.
Results
| Game | Winner | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Game 1 | Ben Dobberstein | Ben chose to go first and it paid off — he had Hydrapple EX on board essentially on turn two. An early Judge wrecked Dreitzler's big hand, and Mark scooped with no answer to the 330-HP Hydrapple. |
| Game 2 | Ben Dobberstein | Mark kept missing the Metagross/Brave Bangle combination, and after a double Boss's Orders on Fezandipiti and a two-prizer, Ben punched his ticket to the finals. |
Ben Dobberstein wins 2-0.
Top 4: Kasturi vs Potti
Dylan Kasturi (Basic Box) vs Rohit Potti (Dragapult Hammers)
A three-game thriller — a dedicated VOD.
Results
| Game | Winner | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Game 1 | Rohit Potti | Two psychic energies were prized at the top of Dylan's prize pile, leaving him one energy short of a Full Moon Rondo, and Potti's Unfair Stamp + Crushing Hammers clawed back for the win. |
| Game 2 | Dylan Kasturi | Kasturi's Hero's Cape Clefairy was a 290-HP wall; Potti conceded with two Clefairies on board. |
| Game 3 | Dylan Kasturi | One-sided early — Kasturi Cruel Arrow'd away every Dreepy so Potti could never Phantom Dive — but Potti fought back with a Special Red Card + Mindbend turn before Kasturi found Cipher Maniac's for Energy Switch + psychic energy to Full Moon Rondo the game. |
Dylan Kasturi wins 2-1.
Finals: Dobberstein vs Kasturi
Ben Dobberstein (Hydrapple Meganium) vs Dylan Kasturi (Basic Box)
Hydrapple against Basic Box for the first Regional title of the 2027 season.
Results
| Game | Winner | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Game 1 | Ben Dobberstein | Ben went first, dumped out Hydrapple + Meganium with doubled energies, and Kasturi — starved of grass energy with no Teal Mask on board — scooped. |
| Game 2 | Dylan Kasturi | Kasturi went aggressive: a turn-two Hero's Cape Clefairy took single-prize knockouts, then a Raging Bolt EX Bellowing Thunder one-shot the Hydrapple. With both Night Stretchers gone Ben had no second Hydrapple, and Kasturi topped a grass energy to set up Teal Mask for game three. |
| Game 3 | Dylan Kasturi | An all-time finish. Ben set up an enormous Teal Mask/Hydrapple board and an Unfair Stamp, but Kasturi went to the desperation Rapid Fire Combo on Mega Kangaskhan EX — triple heads to one-shot the 330-HP Hydrapple — then found Boss's Orders off the judge to KO the Meganium for the title. |
Dylan Kasturi wins 2-1. 2027 Baltimore Regional Champion.
