On March 2nd, 2014, 16 players converged on Orlando to see who would be this years Crucible Masters champion.
In order to become one of those 16 players, you have to have either won one of three 32 man qualifiers, won the 5 round Hardcore the opening night of the Crucible, or placed in the very least in the top 6 of the 32 man qualifying tournaments the day before.
Winner of this tournament would not only have won the top seat at the largest WM/H event in the Southeast, but would also qualify a spot on the Warmachine Weekend Invitational.
We had two camera’s set up to record the action, provided by AV Matters, whose good and services were donated so we can get these videos to you. Special thanks to Clint Runge for all the work he put into the audio/visual components of the Crucible.
As always, you can learn more about the Crucible here: http://crucibleorlando.com/
