The Grand Prix circuit made its first trip ever to Guangzhou and just under 950 players showed up to do battle in Modern. Modern remains a diverse format and the Top 8 reflected the abundance of decks with 7 different archetypes appearing in the single elimination rounds.

There was also a diversity of experience. Kentaro Yamamoto and Ryoichi Tamada have had their pro level success recently, while Kelvin Chew saw the Sunday of a Pro Tour in 2012. Albertus Law has them all beat, making his Top 8 at Pro Tour Barcelona 2001 and winning a Grand Prix the same year. In Guangzhou it was the veteran who won the day as Law's Grixis Delver overtook Wu Kon Fai's Naya Burn.
