North American Netrunner Players Circuit - Who To Watch At Cascadia

Who To Watch At Cascadia

Cascadia is looking to be the largest NANPC event this year, as players return to Mox Boarding House to duke it out in lovely Seattle! We’re spotlighting 3 players we think you should keep an eye on at this event!

Abraham “ManintheMoon” McBride

From: Seattle, United States
Notable Finishes: 1st 2023 Intercontinental Champion, 8th 2024 APAC Continental Championship, 6th 2024 Circuit Breaker Invitational, 1st NANPC Vancouver, 6th Cascadia 2023

Abraham has been a dominant force in West coast Netrunner, alongside his brother Charlie McBride, Abraham has cleaned up tournaments across the coast, while making his mark in a variety of online events. Abraham has shown a preference for Anarch, playing Reg Hoshiko, Esa or recently working on Sebastio. Abraham’s “Shoot the moon” PD list has also taken the tournament scene by storm. Will we see Abraham play his beloved Anarch and latest PD brew? Or instead innovate and take down the tournament with fresh lists?

Henry “Wentagon” Lane

From: San Francisco, United States
Notable Finishes: 9th Cascadia 2023, 4th Online Summer Showdown 2024, 6th NANPC Boston

Henry is a relative newcomer to the competitive Netrunner scene but has been making up for lost time. Henry is a shaper player, having played Lat and Ari to his three highest finishes. Corp side Henry plays a variety of decks, but recently expertly piloted “Barf” Thule to a top cut finish. In the last six months Henry has had his breakout placements, scoring top cut spots at the Online Showdown and NANPC Boston. With Cascadia being an opportunity for Henry to cement himself as one of the west coast’s best players, will his shaper and corp play be up to the challenge?

Jason “Syd7” Ford

From: Vancouver, Canada
Notable Finishes: American Continental Champion 2020, 2nd NANPC Vancouver, 16th 2024 American Continental Championship

Jason is a mainstay of the Vancouver Netrunner community. Known for his love of shaper and immense skill with the faction, Jason has played shaper at a high level across several ID’s, including Wu, Lat and Ari. Jason is also a fan of Sportsmetal, having played it for years across several tournaments and showing a keen understanding of the deck. For Cascadia, will Jason play his classic Ari and Sportsmetal, or will we see him do something completely different to win the event?

With Cascadia fast approaching, the best the west coast has to offer will soon fight it out for first place. Be sure to follow the tournament and catch the stream here to follow the action live!
