Thanks, I'll mark that one as 7 Academy Pilots plus Dark Curse, I assume that's what you meant.

Absolutely, sorry it was late.

Absolutely, sorry it was late.

No worries at all, it wasn't late at all, it was just a few days ago! :) I haven't heard back via email from the Tournament Organizer, so could you post on that thread again, and ask if anyone knows the #4, #6, and #8 (tied for 7th) squads?

That fourth place squad sure is creative.

Hey, is this Kanos' first appearance?

Hey, is this Kanos' first appearance?

He came 12th out of 20 at Odense, first in the top 4 for sure.

Hey, is this Kanos' first appearance?

Yup, its the first time that Kir Kanos has come in the Final Cut, or in this case, the Top Third (4 out of 19, cutoff is 6 and above for my tracking purposes).

And I'd like to add that he performed very well against me.

I just checked the threads by "most viewed", this thread is pretty popular already, it just moved into the #20 spot, ahead of the 25 page thread on "Fixing the TIE Advanced".

We're only at week 5 out of 13, but it was front-loaded from weeks 1 and 3. As of week 5, we are through 25 out of 56 tournaments.

Just add a few :

Hi guys, with MajorJuggler's permission I've compiled the data he has collected and tried to make it navigable through a series of webpages. Just started coding yesterday so everything is still very primitive but take a look and would love some feedback. Almost everything that's orange or blue is a link btw so poke around :)

Got it, thanks. So we just need details on that last Interceptor squad to have everything wrapped up from that Tournament.

I also updated the statistics through week 5, and included a few new categories:

  • General named vs non named point breakdown
  • base attack dice
  • base defense dice

Imperials spend just over one third of all points on named pilots, but Rebels are spending over half their points on named pilots!

Statistics through Week 5 (last updated June 6)

For the statistics below, I am counting ALL of the squads that made the Final Cut, OR made it into the Top Third numerically. Everything is based on the number of points spent, and I use a weighted average of:

squad weighting = (event attendance) / (squad placement)

You da man Major, excellent data to peruse. I am sure FFG read these forums so I figure they are quite interested with your reports as well :) .

Also, going back to May 24: Burlingame, CA, USA. Kublacon. I played a top 8 game against a list running: Soontir+PTL, Howlrunner+stealth+squad lead?, scimitar+conc missile+seismic, 2 AP. If you want to add to the list, that's the only one I could remember in full. There was another top 8 game to my side with Chewy+2 XWs (biggs/wedge from my vague memory), but no clue on the upgrades though. Maybe if someone remembers they can chime in since it looks like you haven't gotten the lists from the organizers.

Awesome stats. Thanks for the compilation and analysis. Nice presentation makes it easy to find data too.

what HE sad.

Awesome... I got some time to breath and glad to see this is still running strong. Good data here... good info here for FFG... great info for anyone looking at playing competitively at this stage of the game.

oh...

and...

FOR THE GLORY OF THE EMPIRE!

I wonder how drastically this might change if Wave 4 is allowed in the remaining Regionals. The thought of a rebel swarm with assault missiles might drop the rate of tie swarm appearances.

I know I mentioned this before, but continue to be fascinated by the Tie Interceptor numbers, especially as they increased their distance (slightly) from the B-Wing. It's not a surprise that they are still solid, but it IS a surprise that they continue to be the third most used ship.

The two things that were supposed to be the hard counter to the in the Transport Expansion (flechette and R3-A2) aren't seeing much use, or at least aren't making it to the top tables. Which, I think, is the point some of us were trying to make with the "wait and see" approach. Those two cards aren't good enough all around, at least so far, to get enough use to actually threaten interceptors, or maybe they're not even really the hard counter to them that people expected.

Either way, it'll be interesting to see if that changes as the long regional season continues.

Was this before or after the cut? The top 8 I posted earlier was the results from after 6 rounds of Swiss (at which point they handed out prizes). I don't recall either of those two lists in the top 8 cut.

That first list you describe sounds like Drew's list; I believe he placed 10th at Swiss, but because I (8th) and another player (6th place, Chewie + 2xBlues) opted out of the top 8 bracket, he got to play at the quarterfinals.

I wonder how drastically this might change if Wave 4 is allowed in the remaining Regionals. The thought of a rebel swarm with assault missiles might drop the rate of tie swarm appearances.

Ooh, that would be cool to see. I'd like to see graphs of ship usage over time.

Geordan, I only remember these two lists playing in the post swiss competition. So I'm not sureif they were top 8 or top 16 from the swiss cutoff. I think the first list was possibly Drew, but I can't be sure.

OK, so I am going to put it down for now as:

Burlingame, CA, United States
May 24
Kublacon
Attendance: ~40
Final Cut: Top 8
  • Winner: Howlrunner + Hull Upgrade; Backstabber; Black Sq. Pilot + Draw Their Fire; 4x Academy Pilot
  • 2nd place: Krassis + Heavy Laser Cannon + Rebel Captive; Carnor Jax + Push the Limit; Royal Guard Pilot + Push the Limit
  • Top 4: Howlrunner; Mauler Mithel + Veteran Instincts; Backstabber; 4x Academy Pilot
  • Top 4: 3x Royal Guard Pilot + Push the Limit + Hull Upgrade; Dark Curse
  • Top 8: Howlrunner + Swarm Tactics; 5x Scimitar Sq. Pilot
  • Top 8 ( originally #9 or #11): Chewbacca; Wedge; Biggs (96 points, need upgrade info)
  • Top 8 (originally #10): Soontir Fel + Push the Limit; Howlrunner + Stealth Device + Squad Leader; Scimitar Sq. Pilot + Concussion Missile + Seismic Charge; 2x Academy Pilot
  • Top 8 (originally #11):
  • #8 (originally #6, opted not to play Final Cut): Chewbacca + Expert Handling + Gunner; 2x Blue Sq. Pilot + Advanced Sensors
  • #8 (originally #7, opted not to play Final Cut): Wedge; Wes; 2x Rookie Pilot
  • #8 (originally #8, opted not to play Final Cut): Wedge + Swarm Tactics; Biggs; 2x Blue Sq. Pilot
  • #12:
  • #13:

Updates are bolded . The Soontir Fel List works out to 99 points so that looks legit to me. I am scoring the #6, 7, and 8 lists as if they were in the Top 8 for ranking purposes, since they originally qualified for Top 8. The 3 squads that moved into the Top 8 are also weighted as Top 8, lucky them. :)

I wonder how drastically this might change if Wave 4 is allowed in the remaining Regionals. The thought of a rebel swarm with assault missiles might drop the rate of tie swarm appearances.

Ooh, that would be cool to see. I'd like to see graphs of ship usage over time.

Agreed! We can get data points for:

2014 Store Championships

2014 Regionals (wave 1-3)

2014 Regionals (wave 4)

National Championships

Has anyone heard anything about any of the four Regionals from this last weekend? They are all international. I did see on Santiago Warpig's Facebook event page that they were trying to get results (I haven't checked back today), so hopefully they will follow through.

If anyone happens to have any info to fill in the gaps in the previous weeks' events that would be good too, but I am afraid the results from earlier in the season are probably getting "stale" and are very difficult to track down at this point.

Edit: Updates, just did some googling...

The Sweeden Regionals has been rescheduled for July 26:
