National already, wowsers lol

By the way, X-wing nationals are later this week in the UK. Time for another thread?

What? We've only just begun regionals. Did the brits finish their regionals already?

Yep here in UK

regionals finished Saturday

May is regional and then national all in one month

BIggs,Wedge,Keyan just won a 64man regionals in southern germany. It's not a joke

There was, but it was set so low that only the xwing could reach it (*drumsnare*)

Congrats to the winner for having the stones to take that squad to the top, let alone run it at all

I'm happy to see ships/lists that are breaking the stereotypes that are being thrown on them.

You mean people are winning with stuff other than turrets? Bah! We need to bring more turrets to drown out those cheaters!

Do you have the full list? Very nice.

Turrets are still winning something like 80% of regionals but given that they lost three over the weekend they definitely need a buff

Does anyone know if Epic Loot Games at the Ohio Regional is going to livestream games?

I can't speak for them, but I know they live-streamed for the Store Championships.

Aw, sweet! Thanks for the info! I hope they do it as well.

Wedge with R3A2 and VI

Keyan with Adv Sensors, HLC, Stay on Target and Intelligence Agent

Biggs

beat Dash/Corran in the final game.

I suspect UK nationals are early because of Games Expo, our biggest convention of the year, already being this weekend. And I suspect that Expo is this weekend because it's a school holiday during the week so you'll get more attendance on the Friday.

How many non-turrets have won in the US? Maybe I should ask how many non-turret and non-bro bots lists won in the US?

Why is it that Europe always has the better meta?

Did the national kit been spoiled yet? I didn't saw any preview of it.

Austin, TX was won by a Firespray+IG88. Manitoba had a dual-phantom win. Maybe we can absorb some of that meta by osmosis?

I think the Atlantic would constitute the necessary semipermeable membrane

Total 100

An absolutely amazing day of games, my only two losses (and only lost ships on the day) were to the #1 and #2 overall finishers. For the first time I can recall while playing this game, I was actively cursing my red dice. Over six rounds of shooting from Leebo in my top 8 match, I got a total of 7 hits after modification, dealing 1 shield of damage in total. Corran fought a bit harder, taking a few more shields with him, but withered under literally perfect red dice from my opponent.

Pulling in all of these results plus some new entries on List Juggler. In the meantime here is a more complete report from last week at Beanie Games in the UK. Very interesting tournament, with one of the most diverse Top 8's that I have seen yet.

Double Mando Merc, cool.

I've faced that Double Mando list twice now, Once in Store, Once in Regional both same guy same place. Sadly lost both times.

First time: 1 spray dead, 1 to 1 hull

Second time. 1 Spray dead, 1 to 4 hull.

It is pretty deadly and fairly tanky! First time didn't have feedback arrays.

I also faced the Chewbo list, after shooting at Chewie for 3 rounds with all my ships I had done a grand total of 5 damage It was just not my day!

*insert EU has both better healthcare and better x-wing joke here*

Feedback Array is a big surprise for Firesprays. Warns people off the side-arcs, if nothing else. Plus, each of them can use it once without actually ionizing. Kind of an elegant option.

Louis,

Is this with the 50 minute rounds you were telling me about or did they increase it?
