Congrats on taking down the #3 seed, Matt!
Good luck versus Jake in the quarters.
Final match is Sean Esser from Des Moines flying Jim Blakely's Rebel Swarm playing against Patrick Wilcox of Omaha flying Obsidian Swarm.
Exciting. Is anyone taking down squad notes for the Final Cut?

Did you not see the tm I posted a few posts ago? Board even superscripted it. Had a good laugh at that.
Great tournament, there was some VERY stiff competition. I had a great time in all my games and got to play a lot of people I'd never faced, as well as a couple excellent rematches.

Noticed it afterwards

Thanks for all the reports! Very Exciting. I was wondering if a PS2 rebel swarm could wade through a 7 TIE swarm, all with superior PS. Hope it was a fun match.

Patrick Wilcox won with Obsidian swarm.
Thanks for the updates, I pulled these all into the Regionals Thread. This was a huge tournament, so if anyone happens to have #9 - #25 I would greedily pull that data in too, but usually to get a comprehensive list I need TO help.
Also: the point values all look legit, so your phone typing is flawless!

I'm very excited to see a Wes, Wedge and Luke build in the top 8
Patrick Wilcox won with Obsidian swarm.
Of course the Howlrunner swarm won.
I found it quite amazing the sheer amount of interceptors that were floating around. I do not know the break down, but it felt imperial outnumbered rebels 2-1.
I didn't see them, but I might be blind - Singapore Regionals are on the 29th at Gamersaurus rex - wish I could go, but too far from Japan

Edited by RavncatNo Shuttles in the Top 8? How absurd!
On a serious note, what WAS the turnout for shuttles?
Siri was running Kagi. I'm sure there were others, but I didn't play any. Now that I think about it I never once faced Imperials.
It was a great turn out, with great competition from all over the mid-west! I had a blast and was surprised to make top 8. Now I just gotta figure out what to do with these ugly dice...
Probably would be willing to trade them for the top 4 maneuver templates.
I played against a Vader shuttle with swarm and next to a firespray/shuttle list.
Our meta is weighted heavily towards rebels, but I only played one rebel all day. Either way it was a blast!

Sorry, but I'm not certain of the upgrades as I played next to him twice and not against, I didn't get a chance to look or check. I do think he was running Soontir as support. 65 minute rounds and no break didn't leave much time to not be playing, unfortunately. Edit: I think he finished 29th. There was also an interesting bomber list that made top 16 with seismically and flechette torps bun not sure on the exact number of each.

soontir + 2 shuttles was likely what he played. im guessing Kagi and Omicron, both with boost and gunner or kagi as gunship and vadershuttle.
