Armada World Cup - Vassal Tournament:

By BiggsIRL, in Star Wars: Armada

Also, no Ackbar! Who saw that coming?

/raises hand

If anyone was going to pull it off, it was going to be Green Knight, but I'm not surprised Ackbar didn't make the cut. Ackbar's overated as hell. He's not bad, but I don't find him all that good for his price. He's very easy to use, making him great for new players, but once you know how to fight him, he's very predictable.

C'mon? You saw all of his many clones getting wiped out before the semi's?

Maybe not before the semis, but definitely by the semis. Green's a great player, but I have little faith in Ackbar. He would have had to play an amazing game against some of lists on his side of the bracket.

To be fair, Truthiness's blog has been pretty consistently poo-pooing Ackbar for some time now.

But more important questions: Anyone got a game scheduled yet? :D

Actually I've grown rather fond of old fish face. He makes already agile Afs even more agile - by removing the need to double arc you can be pretty much anywhere. So predictable? Not so. Quite the opposite imo.

However, 3 afs is one too many. And my squad game left a lot to be desired.

Anyway. In 4 games I did not lose a single ship. Not one. And none of them had ecm (because I wanted to test that). That's what ackbar can do for you...

Ardaedal vs Clontroper5 set for 7:30 Am Saterday morning

I'm waiting on His reply at the moment but it should work since he had suggested 7:00

That's a Match I want to see... But I have no clue who to actually barrack for...

the Empire obviously

I don't know, what has the Empire done for me recently, since I recently tributed them up to their requested likes barrier? :D

I will also openly admit my Ackbar hate is as irrational as a Trump rally. I only really hate him because I keep hearing how overpowered he is and how all the other Rebel commanders are "clearly" inferior.

That leaves 2 ackbar players, Biggs and Nebulonb.

Biggs did alright but was unble to clinch a playoff berth.

And NebulonB, well NebulonB had to play JJ, who had tied for the highest # of tournament points and is a former Champion (and the best armada player I know)

All this in a overall tournament meta dominated by Bomber heavy fleets, which is what everyone says defeats ackbar...

Reath and I appear to be set for 2100 GMT-7 on Thursday/ 1500 GMT+11 on Friday. That was the primary time he sent me, which I agreed to. I just replied, so I don't have official confirmation from Reath on that.

The ceremony will be held in a few hours
