We had 11 players show up for the seventh round of this year’s Grand Melee league. There are five rounds left to qualify for the finals, and at this stage it looks like 20 points is what you want to aim for, as well as attending at least five rounds.

Keith D won today – something that doesn’t happen often. Eddie C made the table sit up and pay attention with three quick kills. Keith himself got 3 kills, Jeremy N managed two, while Matthew H picked up his second kill in as many appearances at the table.

Eddie C also picked up tow achievements – Kingmaker and Soul Reaper. Adrian R, Jay N, and Jake B all played their fifth round of the year, picking up the Contender achievement and becoming eligible to qualify for the top 8 finals in December.

Here are the standings after Round 7.
