The first branch of the 2013 Team League has finished, with the Asian-Oceanian finals made public today. Comprised of three cardfighters using crossride decks from VGE-BT09: Clash of the Knights and Dragons and VGE-BT05: Awakening of Twin Blades, Team Jam now occupies one pinnacle of team play in Asia's English Vanguard scene. Having fought to the top using Gold Paladin, Kagerou and Aqua Force, the somewhat unorthodox team has drawn attention for its Force cardfighter Jon Laurie, whose Glory Maelstrom build runs eight stand triggers where the majority of Glory decks prefer to use criticals. There does appear to be an error in the official
decklists, as Laurie's deck is listed as having seventeen triggers
and no unit that would serve as his first vanguard, but it remains to be seen if this is indeed an error.
Second place was taken by Team VRG, whose members used Gold Paladin, Royal Paladin and Narukami, with Platina Ezel, Pendragon and "THE BLOOD" taking center stage. Next up in the Team League are the North American and European finals, which will be on July 14th and 27th, held in California and London.
