I predict Nathan and Jeremy will win, as that's the only way to have a rebels vs. imperials final.

I wonder if we'll see a poe poe final... If so I would dub it the Kung Fu Panda match.

hmm...Nathan's lone prototype means I'll have to root for him

little guy doesn't get nearly enough respect

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

His Poe has VI and his Corran has PTL. Solid together.

Curious to see if Paul goes for the shuttle or the aces first. I have always thought if you have the higher overall PS ship in the match up, you go for the shuttle. Will be interesting to see what the champ does.

Nevermind... Guess they changed the featured game. People really want to see Nathan play I guess haha.

Oh man. The live stream isn't giving us Heaver/Howard. That's the one I want to watch!

I hope Sozin or others can continue the photostream of that one...

I just love that the top tables do not have one fat turret.

IIRC from their discussion on the last Nova Squadron podcast (including Paul), they all were pretty clear that going for the Shuttle first is what you do in your first match against it. Then, after you lose, you go for the aces next time.

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.

so Nathan is Corran Horn?

Nah, he seems a lot nicer (Nathan that is. Screw Corran Horn!)!

With the stressbot going for the aces in a no-brainer. Stress one and then kill it. If you end up with Poe or even the Z vs. the shuttle its a done deal.

I think they're doing that on purpose. I think both of the guys on the stream are fairly new and we've all seen Paul play.

I'm sure it will depend on actual movement. This isn't a card game. If an opening presents itself for the shuttle, he takes it. Pheaver's squad will shred that shuttle quick. The stressbot Y-wing will keep an ace at bay, and the TLT gold will keep wearing down the shuttle as it occupies blocking lanes.

If Vader and fel can manage to pick off Poe though I think the game is really hard for Paul

It's on

good news, morgan is going to provide expert commentary :-)

Prototype, blocking like a hoss.

Shields down in one Iggy in one shot.

Luckily, the double tap whiffed.

respect!

uh-oh . vader just got double stressed by the stresshog (who is on the inside) ... oh crap, he just died. it's all over right out of the opening.

morgan thinks if vader had BR'd back left (instead of forward left), or br and boost left vader would have been out of arc of the TLTs. the difference a quarter of an inch makes!

welp, that was fast

Ouch.

sorry, who uses inches? morgan has informed me that civilization uses centimeters. .635 in this case :-)

Run away, Corran. Run away!

Man, Nate's Poe Tallon Rolls out of one of the arcs of the Iggy's. Possibly both.

EDIT: It is both. Rough turn there.
