It was a fair and warm day on Saturday, the beginning of the Invitational. A steady inflow of competitors began at around 5 PM, which led to a staggered start of the event. Unfortunately, there was no stream available because only all of the real players in the tristate were at the event, and none of said players own a stream setup. The events of Saturday night kicked off with some casual warmups and an opening banquet, during which an ethnic family with the audacity to sit near the Masters competitors was thoroughly drowned out in profanities. The main event of the night was the Masters Invitational $NJ$ Round Robin Danisen, which resulted in a three way tie. All three players progressed to the 10th dan. The winners of each match are underlined below.

It was a stunning competition full of what could only be called brilliances. The matches were full of moments of immobilizing tension and the crowd was brought to tears by several heroic turnarounds. Replays of the matches were saved. All of the replay files are broken so there will be no video recap.
Sunday's events saw a late start. The competitors feasted and drank for 4 hours before beginning the main event, the Masters Invitational Open Round Robin. This highly anticipated competition moved along swiftly, with GenericSuperhero quickly vanquishing all opposition. The rankings follow:
1. GenericSuperhero (Nvrsqrd Chaos)
2. WyvernLord (F-Arcueid)
2. Zaelar (C-Ciel)
9. MasterChibi (H-Hisui)
5. Pincher (H-Kohaku)
In order to try to beat GenericSuperhero at something, the group then taught him how to play TantoCuore. In a true act of magnanimosity, the Yomi King obliged his denizens. He won his first game and was finally defeated by a devious alliance of all the other players in the second game. The other competitors quickly fled with their victory, allowing no redemption. Such is life.
What are the results, really, of the event? Only time will tell.
