1) the Kid beat Aaron 100-0 2) Jeremy won his match versus Travis 3) Phillip's last Brobot is hunting down a lone Palpmobile 4) Paul lost the wounded Y and has a good endgame on the board, but still not winning

I think Corran would have head better luck just aiming right down the barrel of one of the Warden's, take the stress if necessary and gut it. You want to fly in straight lines and let the K-wings go all swoopy.

Nathan did this in the round of 8 and it worked out OK.

Appreciate the coverage, everyone!

You mean, Paul lost the Z, not the Y, correct?

down to the wire! pauls gold is dead and it is poe versus two golds, paul just rolled two hits and a crit and killed the thug!!! pheaver will win!!

@paul yes

Has he regained any health or just pushing the attack?

I read PHeaver as "Fever"

I read PHeaver as "Fever"

He needs more cowbell.

paul killed the last thug and is on his way to the top 4

Paul Heaver: Broken.

Paul Heaver: Broken.

Or maybe he's the x-wing version of Gretzky

Nerf Paul. What a comeback!

Paul Heaver: Broken.

nah, just turns out T-70s do in fact make great TLT counters, esp Mr "if you don't roll 3 hits, you're not hurting me"

but that was some down to the wire ****. great game!

Wow what a comeback

Pulling for Nathan and Paul at this point, hard choice who to back in the finals if they both make it there.

ITS ALL A PHEAVER DREAM.... I CALLED IT FROM ROUND 1

this says it all boys ( and girls, aliens wookies, ewoks and sentient communications droids)

Gotta pull for Brobots, because Scum, and because Phil is from my local Phoenix Squadron! Go Phil!

Well Paul's Poe was down to 1health though. He couldve easily died.

If it comes to Paul vs. Nathan I would favor Pauls list because of the harder to avoid Stress-Hog and because he brings more guns. Might be wrong, though, Nathan is good and Corran Horn is Corran Horn.

What EPTs do Nathan's Corran and Poe have? if neither have VI...Paul's Poe will be doing work. I think in that matchup Paul does have a definite advantage due to his control elements

so Nathan is Corran Horn?

I'm rooting for the emperor and the upset

• Corran Horn + R2-D2 + Engine Upgrade + Push The Limit + Fire Control Systems;
• Poe Dameron + Veteran Instincts + Autothrusters + R5-P9;
• Prototype Pilot + Chardaan Refit;

VERSUS

• IG-88A + Heavy Laser Cannon + Autothrusters + Glitterstim + Crackshot + Fire Control Systems + IG-2000
• IG-88B + Heavy Laser Cannon + Autothrusters + Glitterstim + Crackshot + Fire Control Systems + IG-2000

Nathan has the PS bid on the brobots, but 'bots can make short work of either Poe or Corran if they are unable to get good flanking positions. Nathan will try to use the prototype to block the bots and hopefully curl around with the aces to get those critical side arc shots. With good play Nathan should win it, but it is by no means clear.

• Poe Dameron + R2‑D2 + Veteran Instincts + Autothrusters;
• Gold Squadron Pilot + R3‑A2 + BTL‑A4 Y‑wing + Twin Laser Turret;
• Gold Squadron Pilot + Twin Laser Turret;
• Bandit Squadron Pilot;

versus

• Fel + PtL + Royal Guard Title + Stealth + Autothrusters
• Vader + Lone Wolf + title + ATC
• Omicron Group Shuttle + Palpatine + Sensor Jamme

The good news for Paul is he has PS bid on both Fel and Vader with Poe. Vader also has a hard time with TLT, although Lone Wolf should help with that. If Paul can get good blocking with his low PS ships he can kill at ace super fast, so Jeremy is going to walking on the knife's edge the whole game long. This is going to be an epic matchup that is too close to call.
