Now for these next lists I erroneously thought they were from a team tournament.  They're not.  The GP Akiba Qualifier are a series of tournaments held multiple times which is why you'll see it come up multiple times with different winners.

GP Akiba Qualifier (Premium - 42 Players):

Winner - NLK Assassin

GP Akiba Qualifier (Premium - player count unknown):

Winner - Luard

GP Akiba Qualifier (Premium - 32 Players):

Winner - NLK Assassin

GP Akiba Qualifier (Premium  - Player Count Unknown):

Winner - NLK Assassin

That's all of it.  Give it one more week for the post AL4 metagame to develop and more importantly to see if Murakumo is the real deal.  It's impressive to see it being able to get a 2nd Place and 1st Place while also beating Shadow Paladins in top cut no less but can it do this consistently?  We'll have to wait and see.  Otherwise OTT is still doing its thing, Shadows is proving to be the 2nd or 3rd best deck in the format and DI is wrecking Premium through the NLK Assassin combo.
