2014 Worlds Results
I think those numbers are the predictions, not the actual points.
Good call. Thus "11" in several places.

Plus Ira has a 62 point falcon, so a 50-50 is impossible. Definitely prediction percentages.
Some big names knocked out...but the possible rematch of the 2013 finals is still intact!
Paul v Dallas repeat, calling it now
For your pleasure, here's the first report from round 1:

Juggler, you'll be happy to see that all the lists of the top 32 are their for your crunching pleasure. Sadly, your humble journalist lost in the first round, but happily, I am now free to report!

The fortress is interesting. Perhaps feels the match up is against him so wants to hold on and snipe a ship or two. Are these timed rounds?

Interesting, only 1 double Falcon list.
A couple updates:

Gomes and Hsu are through to top 8!
Edited by LucCrosIs it wrong that I'm glad "Typo" didn't make it through?
Im surprised the the twitch feed only has the final x wing game. Netrunner must be very popular.
Netrunner rivals X-wing in popularity. That with the AGOT and Conquest finals today, sort of limits the amount of X-wing today. X-wing did get more than it's fair share of coverage, though. Tomorrow is all Netrunner, though.
EDIT: Neat that 25% of the top eight are 4 ship Rebel builds.
Edited by SithborgTop 32 lists
13 running falcons.
7 Hybrid falcon lists... running Chewie and/or Jan Ors (4 make it to top16)
6 Fat Han lists (3 make it to top 16)
Gunner and Predator seem to be the upgrades of choice but a few interesting choices popping up as well (R2-D2 crew, PTL or VI)
6 Phantom lists running Whisper + VI
Top16. .. the lists to make it were...
7 Falcon
3 Swarm
3 Phantom
3 Four-Ship Rebels
Yikes, there are going to be a number of Falcon on Falcon mirror matches.
Hows are the Falcon Hybrid lists fairing in the versus fat Han Lists?
Falcon Lists that are tweeked to have an edge in the mirror should make it to top4.
Unfortunately i was working yesterday and thursday so i missed most of it! Looking forward to the final.
Yup the falcon mirror will be interesting. Does Paul's list have a falcon counter? It is a "non-standard" falcon!
If you want, the older broadcasts are up on Twitch if you want to watch them.
As for Paul's list, I would say it is optimized vs a Falcon build. Chin's and Ira's lists become less efficient due to Gunner not worth the points vs the Falcon. And I've seen how tanky Artoo can make the Falcon.

For comparison, Netrunner had 230 entering, compared to x-wing's 256.

Ill be catching up on them for sure! Cheers
Ira moves on to top 8
Dallas beat Jim in Top 16 match

So was this match won by a single tie killed? Interesting stalling tactic.
Nice even split between Imp and Rebel.
