Congratulations to the winner of the Evergreen Legion Open for 2023! Joseph “Joe Joe Binks” Lohmolder overcame a couple tough matches to go undefeated in his run to the top of the tournament! His defensive play allowed him to weather the numbers advantage his opponents had and was able the level the field with some aggressive Yoda play in several games. This Oregonian is still relatively new to Legion, but has been practicing with an ace crew to fully master his craft. We are excited to see him make his way to the World Championships!
Also earning World Championship invites this weekend are Matt Smith and Stephen Heinze, both hailing from the state of Washington.
