What was AFG and it's members up to during April? Overall, it was a heavy competition month for the team with many players attended and competing at various game tournaments throughout the month. We also celebrated two AFG birthdays, with Azalea's birthday on April 16th, and ThisWeekinHS celebrating his birthday on April 28th. But there was so much more than just general competition and birthdays! Let's dive in.
Itachi played in a 600-player Pokémon TCG Pocket tournament, where he unfortunately lost on the bubble. Better luck next time, because the grind never ends.
Itachi and Lynnee also faced off against each other in a Hearthstone THL Pro series match where Itachi was able to take the W!
Marcolapolis had a slower Star Wars: Unlimited month due to work commitments, but was able to take 2nd place in his local Jump to Lightspeed Sealed League!
FlyingKraken has been focusing on getting better at Pokémon VGC and even attended the Pokémon Atlanta Regional during April.
Kraken has also returned to competitive Hearthstone, with a top 200 ladder finish in April and looking to finish even higher for Master Tour Playoff Qualifications in the future.
Nejiboston had a busy April. He runs the AFG Pokémon Draft League which is currently in Season 7 with 48 players separated into 3 divisions. He has been doing incredibly with running the league season over season!
He has also returned to competitive Hearthstone, going 8-0 in the swiss portion of the open qualifier and just barely missing out in the single elimination portion of the qualifier. However, that wasn't going to stop him and he qualified for the Master Tour Playoffs via ladder, finishing 61st on the Americas server for April.
RonMexico had some rough games in the Hearthstone Masters Tour Open Qualifer, ending at 5-3 in the swiss portion of the event. However, Ron also was able to qualify for the Masters Tour Playoffs via a ladder finish, finishing 72nd on the Americas server for April, just inside the needed ranks to qualify!

Siimba got more of the board game his company created in stock and is working on a Kickstarter for a new tabletop card game that will be launching in May or June.
Azalea had a busy league month, with heavy focuses on multiple Pokémon Draft Leagues as well as Hearthstone's THL.
