FAB WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP
This year’s World Championship was a major stop on Flesh and Blood’s $1.5 million tour and attracted over 1,000 players and fans from around the world. Alongside the main championship event, attendees enjoyed a packed schedule that included a Calling tournament, a Battle Hardened, a Team World Cup, and an inspiring keynote from Flesh and Blood’s creator, James White. A thrilling Top 8 lineup featured talent from the U.S., U.K., Hong Kong, Poland, Australia, and Austria, keeping the global audience on edge through every move.
The championship final saw Kowalski face off against the U.S.’s Mercy Bickell, who skillfully piloted Aurora, Shooting Star. Kowalski's deck, featuring nine Count Your Blessings cards, proved formidable as he consistently gained life, outlasting Bickell’s aggressive strategy. Despite a powerful push from Bickell in her first Top 8 appearance, Kowalski’s fatigue-based deck ultimately prevailed, sealing his victory in a game that left fans buzzing.
