CONGRATULATIONS TO OUR NEW NORTH AMERICAN HEROCLIX CHAMPIONS!
Our Elfsar Heroclix Judges pulled off an amazing win at this years Wizard World Chicago between June 26th and July 29th. Our primary Judge Rob “The Canadian” Barazzoule is now the official #1 best player on the Continent. Our secondary Judge made us proud with her personal best by becoming the #1 female player in North America. She scored a third place victory win at WWC.
I’d say we have a very good shot of being #1 in the World. Mucho props guys.
