Nearly three dozen -- 33, to be exact -- players competed to take home Halloween pumpkins at the National Go Center on October 27. The top finishers in the open section were Frederick Bao 5D (pictured, front center) and Justin Teng 6D, each 3-1. Frederick was the overall winner on tiebreaks. All 4-0 and 3-1 finishers (pictured) happily took home pumpkins.
Eric Lui 1P teamed up with Nathan Epstein 2D to broadcast the top board in all 4 rounds on Twitch from the new broadcast room at the NGC.
