Eivind Nitter is a former professional player, Norwegian National Champion and European Champion who was as well known for his fashion choices as he was for his playing ability.[1] He celebrated his first individual Pro Tour Top 8 qualification at 2002 Pro Tour Nice with a $600 outfit from Dolce and Gabbana. This he wore as he successfully made it through to a grand final match with Bram Snepvangers. Snepvangers had broken Kai Budde's winning streak in the quarter finals, but he couldn't stand against Nitter's aggressive 
draft deck.
