The last event held in Stockholm was the 2016 Stockholm Regional, played with the VGC16 ruleset in January 2016. The finals saw 2-time National Champion Markus Stadter defeat Swede Christopher Chan to win his first Regional Championship title!

American James Evans, the 2018 Senior Division World Champion, defeated Brazilian Gabriel Agati in the NAIC finals.
