(Jaro = Jaroslav Jusko, JARO = Jaroslav Rosenberger)
First round:
First table: Dusan - Brano - Attila - Mikulas - Vlado
Heavy fights ... For example Marlene (Dusan) with chainsaw sent Shane to torpor, Brano's Luther sent Lena Rowe to torpor, Mikulas's favorite Meshenka sent Ignatio to torpor and Huang diablerized him (and then he was burned in wild hunt) ... Just combat. The game was finished after 2 hours, with only one player (Mikulas) ousted (by Attila).
Second Table: Jaro - Laco - Anita - Zsolo - JARO
The game started very peacefully and everyone influenced his/her favorites. Later, Zsolo started to bleed JARO, so his Beast attacked Zsolo's Korah and that stopped Zsolo's activities. Anita also started to bleed her prey - Zsolo - and he was between two fires. He ousted himself with Malkavian Game giving Anita victory point. Other VPs gained JARO - his Beast killed important opponents and two Blood Dolls gave him a lot of pool.
Second round:
First table: Attila - Vlado - JARO - Mikulas - Anita
Good play from Mikulas side: he firstly ousted Anita (she strongly bled Attila, but Miki was quicklier) and later Attila. It was close, only 5 minutes before time limit. But Attila took 1VP from this game when he ousted Vlado. Miki played nice cards, like Living Manse, but Attila's Mistaken Identity against JARO's Ingrid was nice too.
Second table: Laco - Brano - Zsolo - Jaro - Dusan
Jaro started aggressive bleeding against Dusan (and then Laco) with Vasantasena with Enchanted Marionette (3 bleed 2 stealth) and gained 2 VPs. All table tried to kill her (Brano's Zachary with Flamethrower) and later in the game she and Carter were burned. Brano's prey Zsolo had 1 pool about 20 minutes and he fought brave, but he was defeated. Then Brano finished Jaro.
Third round:
First table: Zsolo - Mikulas - Brano - Attila - Laco
Long game with many surprises. Firstly Attila bled Laco to death, but later he was two time nearly ousted. Two times he saved himself with Tribute to the Master. Zsolo had more luck against Miki than against JARO in first round when they played Malkavian Games. Those helped him to gain VP. This game ended after 2 hours, giving survivalists +0.5VP.
Second table: JARO - Anita - Vlado - Jaro - Dusan
Jaro started to bleed Dusan. Now he cannot repeated Vasantasena performance because JARO influenced her. But also without her Jaro was big threat for Dusan, so he only built defense. He played two superior Slaughtering the Herd against Jaro's vampires to stop him. JARO needn't be afraid of Dusan, so he freely bled Anita with his Vasantasena and finished her. Then his Calebos killed Vlado's vampires and Vasantasena ousted their master too. Later also Vasantasena started to fight (with Submashine Gun) and JARO won all VPs. Good play from JARO.
Final round: Jaro - Attila - Mikulas - Brano - JARO
Attila had full political combo - Demonstration and Quentin - so he can play any political card he wished. He stole Mikulas's Hunting Ground and started to make him problems. JARO had Vasantasena again and Jaro wasn't very happy about it. Brano's Cailean tried to help him and sent her to torpor, but she fought very hardly with her disguised shotgun. Later JARO manages to rescue Vasantasena and he finished Jaro. Mikulas prepared huge defense against Attila (Zachary, Thelonius, Black Spiral Buddy, ...) and he sent many Attila's vampires to torpor leaving him easy prey to JARO. And then time limit elapsed ...

(Jaro = Jaroslav Jusko, JARO = Jaroslav Rosenberger)
First round:
First table: Anita - Brano - Attila - Maros
Brano had Sudden day: he cancelled two Attila's Tomb of Ramses III. and Giant's Blood and Maros's Information Highway. But this was Maros's game - he bled to death everyone. Interesting were Major Boons (Attila's) trying to keep Anita (and later Brano) in play. Nice were Brano's Golconda against Attila's Kephamos which burned him.
Second table: Lubo - Laco - JARO - David
As usual, Lubo's weenies started aggressively and Laco was disappointed. When he had only 5 pool left, JARO changed positions (Kindred Restructure) and game rotation was Lubo - David - JARO - Laco. Lubo was furious and JARO (deflecting David's bleeds) gained VPs from Laco and Lubo. Then two healers started battle - David is better healer and he won 2VPs.
Third table: Mikulas - Vlado - Dusan - Jaro
Just battle and battle. All players were fighters, so they fought. Interesting was Lazverinius with only 1 hand damage (Chester DuBois disarmed him). Dusan finished Jaro, but then Miki destroyed everyone and gained 3 VPs.
Second round:
First table: Maros - Mikulas - JARO - David
Two groups had formed here: JARO + Maros and Mikulas + David. Maros banished David's Arika for a while, so he could rest from her bleeds, and Mikulas later with Arika's help burned JARO's Elyseum: The Arboretum, so his Beast could attack JARO's vampires. JARO influenced Quentin and tried to reorganize seating order, but David had Direct Intervention. David slowly bled to death Maros. Then JARO successfully changes seating order, because David's strong healing activities didn't make him happy, but he couldn't oust even Miki. David won this game with 4VPs. Nice play.
Second table: Dusan - Vlado - Jaro - Laco
Heavy fights again. Crusher, Lazverinius, Calebos, Zachary and many more ... Younger boys firstly ousted Vlado and then fought amongst themselves. Jaro destroyed Laco, but then he was ousted by Dusan (3VPs).
Third table: Anita - Attila - Brano - Lubo
Bleeding table, except by Brano and his Beast. Everyone tried to help poor Anita who was Lubo's weenies prey. Two Major Boons (Attila and Brano) saved her, but later ... Awfull little dom pre smashed the table very quickly (Lubo 4VPs).
Third round:
First table: David - Dusan - Maros - Lubo
Because David had huge vampires in his crypt, he couldn't stay very long at this table with Lubo's weenies in his back. After few turns Lubo gained VP and David was ousted. But then Maros started to bleed Lubo and he had no defense. On the other side, Dusan's fighters killed Lubo's small vampires very easily, so Maros ousted Lubo very soon. Dusan was weak after some Lubo's successful bleeds, so Maros finished him and took 3VPs from this game.
Second table: Mikulas - JARO -Jaro - Anita
Anita started well - she bled Mikulas for 5 pool and later for other. Then Mikulas influenced Beast and started to beat her vampires. She maneuvered two times and dodged Jaro's fighters, but then her combat cards were lost and ... Both combat Mathuselahs played with her vampires and sent them all to torpor. Excellent situation for JARO was when she had no ready vampires and 5 pool remaining, so he changed seating order and finished her. He thanked his opponents for good job. New seating order was JARO - Mikulas - Jaro. So, Mikulas wanted to kill Jaro and they started to fight. JARO only healed himself and influenced vampires. And then he put two Anarchy Revolts to play and had a look. He gained all VPs.
Third table: Attila - Brano - Laco - Vlado
Fighters doesn't like bleeders. So Brano, Laco and Vlado ousted Attila very soon. Then they fought and fought, ... Brano gained 3 VPs, Vlado one.
Final round: Maros - Lubo - Dusan - JARO - David
As you see, Dusan was unlucky and Lubo's horde started to bled him. Dusan was brave, but three Misdirections from Lubo (two were cancelled) was too much. Maros also didn't wait and bled Lubo (no defense, everything for attack). JARO had bad day - his favorite Quentin didn't come soon and he hadn't card for table reorganization. And Lubo didn't like him (from first game), so he bled him heavily. Maros waited and let Lubo with one pool to bled JARO, so JARO played Ancilla Empowerment to oust Lubo and to prevent certain destruction. But it only brought next bleeder - Maros - as his predator and he three times left JARO on one pool. Later his luck returned and he played Minion Tap and saved himself. Then finally Kindred Restructure comes and he reversed order after David strongly damaged Maros. Seating order was David - JARO - Maros. Some bleeds from David deflected to Maros and Anarchy Revolt finished Maros and granted JARO VP. But David had more power and bled him quickly to death, gaining 2 VPs and winning the tournament. From interesting moments I want mention one made by David: he played Ancient Influence and then Political Stranglehold, healing himself for 6+6 pool (Arika and Francois Villon) and JARO for 8 (Democritus). Lubo burned 2 pool because he had only young vampires. Those cards are the only two political cards that David had in his deck...
Congratulations David, Archbishop of Kosice!
