Sam "Radiant"

From: Seattle/Vancouver (former), NYC (current)
Notable Finishes: 27th at 2022 World Championship

Sam is known not only for his top finishes but also for judging and tournament organization.  One of the Muntal Bost OGs, he’s put up strong finishes on both sides of the continent.  Known for technical Crim play, will he stay true to his fundamentals, or bring an exciting new brew?

Dee “DeeR” Ruttenberg

From: Princeton
Notable Finishes: 2nd at 2024 World Championship, 6th at 2023 World Championship, 14th at 2021 World Championship

Coming off of a spectacular 2024 World Championship 2nd place finish, Dee is certain to be a top contender at New Jersey.  Along with their top finishes, they also practice extensively with two testing groups, QtM and Snare Bears.  Will they try to murder you with an exciting Personal Evolution brew or run you over with a brutally efficient Shaper? Whatever the choice, chaos is on the menu.


NANPC New Jersey is shaping up to be an exciting start to the new season! Pay attention to these players as the event begins, and check back after for a recap of the weekend’s events.
