Commentary: Scum’s best swarm vs an imperial elite list with the best hipposhuttlebust escort. It seems odd that Palpatine is in reality escorting Vader and Fel but that’s the case. He’s there to ensure Fel doesn’t have the one bad roll that screws him. My initial impression was most of the advantages are wth Morgan, but I’d like to remind everyone we’re talking about a massive hitpoint and ship count disparity and SideSlip will know where Morgan’s ships are for Xizor. Morgan will win if the game is mistake free, but it’s his burden, not Anthony’s.

Ricky: Morgan but this is closer than it looks

Commentary: KO brings back his counter meta list at a perfect time. Barring the unforseen he can potentially get to a 1v1 scenario. I know that may seem bad but he has a maneuverability advantage. We have not seen enough Brobots in the league and I do expect them to perform well at worlds.

Commentary: Initially I thought this was a walk away victory for Blair. His TLTs would be able to melt Vader by pure persistence. However then I noted that Blair had the Y title. I personally think the title is a great counter to other TLTs and when played perfectly is superior just the regular turret. However in this instance it should allow for Vader to do some arc dodging. If Blair plays perfect he wins.

Commentary: I want Deathrain to be good so I’m cheering for Paul. Certainly I think bombs are underutilized. Initiative will be huge to find out whether Jake or Soontir get positional advantage. In the end I think Gold TLT will be a huge pain to deal with.

Commentary: So both lists fire BFGs. I think Hothie has more defense but Theorist has more offense and better PS. I’m not sure in the end who wins this but I think Jeff is on a little bit of a Troll job taking bombs v Hothie after Hothie gave up on them.
