Mixed feelings

By barriecritzer, in X-Wing

In the last 2 months I have participated in 3 store championships that all averaged 20 players. In all 3 I have placed top 8. I am happy that I placed top 8 in all 3 but disappointed that I was never able to make it into top 4.

Store tourneys bring the best players. Think about it this way: How good do you really think you are? Also luck is a colossal factor. You get matched against the wrong squad, the dice fail you, you pull the bad crit. It all adds up.

I will admit the first 2 tournaments I made mistakes that cost me the game, but the last one my dice both red and green were sub par for the entire event. 3 different occasions I rolled 4 red dice with target lock and my first roll was blank and 3x focus, 2nd roll was hit 3x blanks.
