Chris “icecreamcollege”

From: Baltimore Meta
Notable Finishes: Top 8 Circuit Breaker Invitational 2025, Top 16 Worlds 2025

Complexity is the key for Chris, corp-side, as he seeks to constantly keep the runner guessing.  And like many of his teammates in the TAI Breakers testing group, Chris enjoys runners with unfiltered aggression. While Hoshiko Shiro is no longer able to carry for him, Chris will be sure to find other ways to sustain his pressure this upcoming weekend.

Notable Finishes: 1st NANPC Philly 2024, 5th Worlds 2022, Stimhack Cube Designer

Bubblingbeebles is one of the most consistently strong oldheads, posting top tournament finishes even before the advent of Alwaysberunning.net. As a member of the Steel City Grid, The Board, and QTM testing groups, they have plenty of irons in the fire. While they may have a penchant for Ob, they’ve shown that they can take almost any faction and put up a strong finish with it.

Sanjay

From: Delaware and Philadelphia Metas
Notable Finishes: 1st NANPC NJ 2026, Top 16 Worlds 2021, Finalist Great Netrunner Bakeoff

“Sanjay loves nurturing pet factions, running aggressively, and giant ice.” These are words written last year about Sanjay that ring especially true now, given his undefeated finish at NANPC New Jersey last weekend.  As a judge, player, and creator triple threat, keep an eye out for him to be doing any or all three this weekend in Philly.

NANPC Philly is sure to provide exciting games and equally exciting decks this coming weekend.  Be sure to keep an eye on these players, and check back afterwards for a recap of the weekend’s events.
