RazielLocated in San Jose, CA, Guildhouse hosted the first ever Deadlock LAN in the US this past weekend. They had notable players such as eidorian, LOMEIN, POSHYPOP, and even LordNM in attendance.
The Guildlock Invitational 2026 had everything from cosplayers to an artist alley, including themed Deadlock cocktails being served at the venue.
Teams first fought it out in a series of qualifiers for the right to attend the event in person. Teams such as the University of Toronto attended and gave it their all, but at the end of the day, the behemoth that is Poppers Pupils took home a piece of the crowd funded prize pool.
The grand finals was a rematch of an earlier bracket game of Poppers Pupils from the upper bracket against Eido Academy that has to fight their way from the loser's bracket.
