Geeks Headquarters host national Pokemon tournament

Independent retailer, Geeks Headquarters (GHQ), hosted a national Pokemon tournament at their Chesterfield store on Sunday 15th December.

There were 48 competitiors for the store’s Pokemon “Cosmic Eclipse” League Cup. The winners were:

Junior Division: Thomas Lambert
Senior Division: Callum Wun
Master Division: Luke Parks

League Cups are the next Premier Events on the competitive Pokémon TCG ladder, right above League Challenges. They not only provide players with the opportunity to earn a greater amount of Championship Points, but they also offer players the chance to win exclusive Champion-stamped playmats and Promo cards that can’t be earned anywhere else.

Taking place on the same day was the Yu-Gi-Oh! Christmas Charity tournament, where rather than paying entry with money, entry was paid with tinned food for the Chesterfield Foodbank. The event was sponsored by Konami, who donated all the prizes for free.

A total of 28 players entered the tournament and 152 tins of canned food were donated. The overall winner was Luke Bowkis.
