So we have had a smashing three days of Warhammer Age of Sigmar at the Las Vegas Open 2019 (LVO 2019) and now its time for the final results, awards and top lists. Who came out on top from the 125+ players at the event? The first five rounds were held over Friday and Saturday and the top 8 players battled it out in a straight knockout over three rounds today.
Congrats to Scott Read and his team, Frontline Gaming and Best Coast Pairings for an absolutely stellar event to follow!

LVO 2019 Coverage
Frontline Gaming had streaming throughout the weekend on their Twitch channel (Warhammer TV was busy with the 40k). I understand they didn’t have much commentary, but did have the players mic’d up through the games. I also have a selection of videos from people at the event.
