UK GRAND MASTERS Final Round Top Table - Inari v Temple - Bushido Risen Sun Battle Report

PDG presents another Competitive Battle Report, filmed in May 2025 - The final round top table of the UK Grandmaster event at the UK Games Expo.

Many thanks to Al and Lewis for letting us record their game - I know we keep repeating it but it's another great advert and we hope you enjoy it.

The Ki Tracking was quite challenging at times - there was a lot of quick channeling/leeching, virtue tokens that gave Ki, fox form changes etc so sometimes the overlay does not correspond with what the players are saying/doing. It has been smoothed out as much as possible and reflects the game state as well as it can.

There are a couple of instances of misplays (as we have come to expect in all Batreps where we track things!) but overall it was a high quality game that was played in the right way.

Neither player actually won the GM, that title went to the player who was in 3rd position before the final round. Congratulations to them.

We will be in Hamburg for the very large and oversubscribed German GM. Very much looking forward to that.

All the best, and thanks as always for watching.
