2016 Store Championship Results

By MajorJuggler, in X-Wing

I dont understand whats so excitin

many people already feel aces are OP; Blacksun Aces are the natural conclusion to that feelin

;)

Warriors 3 in Wayne, Michigan on 1-31-16. 19 players if I remember correctly.

Top 4 -

#1.) Boba Fett with: VI, Slave 1, Extra Munitions, Homing Missiles, Proton Bombs, Engine Upgrade, Weapons Engineer

&

Darth Vader with: X1, ATC, VI, Engine Upgrade, Proton Rockets.

#2.) Ten Numb with VI and Mangler Cannon

2x Green Squadron Pilot each with Crackshot and Push the Limit.

Plus one Green Squadron with Autothrusters and PtL.

Refit and Test Pilot just assumed.

#3.) Gold Squadron Pilot with Ion Cannon, BTL-A4, Stressbot.

Poe Dameron with Draw Their Fire, R5-P9, Autothrusters.

Wes Janson with VI, R2-D2, Engine Upgrade.

#4.) Echo with VI, ACD, Sensor Jammer, Recon Specialist.

Vader with Daredevil, X1, ATC, Engine Upgrade, Prockets.

Backstabber.

Semifinals my list (Boba and Vader) faced the Echo Vader Backstabber list and Boba and Vader came out on top. The Poe Stresshog Wes list lost to the Ten Numb guy.

Finals were won by Boba and Vader.

With all this hoopla, I'm surprised no one has mentioned that the two Rebel Y-Wings, backed by Poe, won a Store Champ. I've watched his games before, and he does a great job flying it. Horton and Dutch were the centerpiece of the build, and Poe served as the distraction.

Wow, that's pretty impressive. What upgrades did he use?

What was the exact list?

EDIT: Oh, the Y's have BTL-A4. Not sure if I should be less scared or more scared lol.

We just finished the top 4 of the Game Kastle Santa Clara store championship that Rakaydos mentioned. I think there were 51 people total, and there would have been more if they hadn't run out of space. The results should be up on Lists Juggler eventually. I came in second in Swiss and second overall with a mixed-TIE jousting list that was a lot of fun:

Darth Vader + Crack Shot + TIE/x1 + Adv. Targeting Computer (31)

Zeta Leader + Crack Shot (21)

Howlrunner + Crack Shot (19)

Black Squadron Pilot + Crack Shot (15)

Wampa (14)

The top four were:

1) Palp Deci + Vader (PS 10 and 11 with a 3-point bid)

2) Mixed Crack-Shot TIEs (mine, above)

4) Dual Decimator

4) Miranda + Stresshog + TLT Y-Wing + Z

During Swiss I faced: Brobots, quad TLT + Unhinged, elite TIEs, Palp aces twice (both with Vader/OL/Wampa), and Poe/Ello/Stresshog.

No doubt. I was the dual IG that lost to this in the finals. The second I started chasing Poe after I took out Horton was the moment I realized I lost. I should have just went after Dutch while Poe ran to regain shields.

Good Games Gold Coast, Queensland, Australia. 14 players, 4 rounds, no cut. List Juggler entry .

I took first after an epic slugfest with Morgan in round 4, which ended with both of my bots limping away at 1 hull.

Top 4:

1. Ben Doyle

2. Jerod Warron

Apples and oranges- this Horton and Dutch list is sporting the title on BOTH Y-wings, so no turrets at all here!

Which makes them even more stylish.

So much palp shuttle in NYC

Cant fly my miniswarm v all these aces :(

So flew some glorious Ks instead :D

5 round tournament ended with a final table of palp aces v palp aces

Except it's sensor jammer palpie, ptl carnor jax and ptl soontir. One soontir had targeting, the opposing carnor had stealth device.

Both the aforementioned ships died on the final table, resulting in a goddamn draw

Which let me sneak into 2nd place with Miranda packing c3po and two seismic charges, a good ole tactician warden and a good ole stress hog

I'll see if I can get some more details when I get home. We had quite a variety of lists, although one poor guy ended up matched against the three palp aces present at the event :P

Was dreading TLT mirrors but it never happened

Among the top 8:

The heaver special

Some strange 5 ship rebels

Jake, kyle katarn and Wedge

Crackswarm

Boba, bro of bots

I played the 4th place list, and was 3-0 until the last game, just losing a very close game to the winner. I'll probably post a full report later.

Just manage to get away with 1st place at our Store Championship in Laval, Qc, Canada.

Top 4 cut:

1st place was 4 Scum TLT unhinged

2nd place was my list (see below!)

3rd place was ion brobots (see below!)

4th placed had Vader + Omega Leader + Palpy + Wampa.

Winning List:

OGP - Palpy

Colzet - x1/Accuracy Corrector

Wampa

Carnor Jax - RG Title, Stealth Device, Autothrusters and PTL

4x TLT placed 1st in the top 4 after 4 rounds (23 players I believe? some dropped out during the first 3 games) and I placed 2nd at the Top 4 with 3 wins 1 loss:

100-0 against Brobots (B+C with title, Ion Cannon, Ion Bomb, Predator, Adv. Sensors, Inertial Dampener on 1 of 'em - I forget if they had anything else)

31-52 against a somewhat mirror list (Palpy, Wampa, Scourge with VI, Vader with VI EU and stuff) because honestly, I tried something that simply didnt work haha, did my best to keep my points as safe as possible after that gigantic mess and try to plink points away from him, worked out decently enough

100-0 against Scum Boba (autoblaster cannon, EU, K4 and something else?) + Kath - EU, K4 and something else I forget (Kath got hit by Wampa's ability: Blinded Pilot (face down of course), still 4 shields on it... alrighty then - Colzet used his ability every single turn after the initial flip that revealed it, keeping Kath blinded until I had dealt with Boba which at some point got hit by Pilot skill 0 crit, GG - I felt dirty as heck.

100-14 I think it was for game 4, against TLT Miranda, Poe R5P9/Thrusters/VI and YWing Stress bot TLT build - Poe died in 1 round... otherwise I'd have had a hard time!

Top 4 placed me 2nd and I was put up against 3rd place (1st against 4th place) which had the same brobots list as game 1 with Inertial dampener on both - those 2 guys were testing out this list together, really glad I pulled through both times, 100-37 ? I forget already if I had lost both wampa and colzet, I can't remember x:

Final match against 4 TLTs... wow how bloody annoying to face that! He had 5 wins out of 5, a higher MoV than me but that didn't matter at this point. Lucky green dice in the first exchange (took like 6 to 8 rounds before any shots were fired, both careful, both doing turtling moves until I committed and came out on top)

Carnor Jax is the best.

Faced quite a lot of higher PS lists and it didn't bother me whatsoever. Probably helped me out way more than it disadvantaged me.

Alright thats it for my store's result!

3 Palp+aces lists and Dash Corran on the top 4 cut at the store champs in Palm Bay, FL. FVP took it all.

In other words, nothing to see here, just a standard meta.

Results from Surrey, BC, Canada. Craving for a Game Store Champs. 27 players.

1st Tzane (5-0)

Vader + VI + Engine + ATC

Howl + Pred

Wampa

Black + Crack

Black + Crack

2nd Patryk (me) (4-1)

Warden + TLT + Tactician

Warden + TLT + Tactican

Gold + R3A2 + TLT + Title

Bandit

Unfortunately there was no top 4 cut due to time restrictions. Very diverse field. Palp + Aces, Han + Miranada, 7 Z-Swarm w/ Feedback, RAC + Whisper, mini swarms, Dash, Poe, Ello etc. Very fun tournament. Congrats to Tzane! We had a very close final game that came down to the last 5 dice rolls of the last round.

I won the store championship at Something2Do in Louisville, KY tonight. 20 people there (I think...may have been 18).

1st place (my list):

Soontir with PTL, Autothrusters, title, and stealth

Howlrunner with Swarm Tactics

2 place:

IG88 A and B with glitterstim, crackshot, autothrusters, HLC, titles, and FCS

3rd and fourth (not sure which was which):

4X Blue Squadron Novice T-70's with Integrated Astromech and R2 astros

Poe with VI, R5-P9, and integrated Astomech (I think)

Ello Asty with VI, R2-D2 and Integrated Astromech

There was a really diverse group of lists there; it made it fun as hell playing against so many different things. Day lasted 6 rounds - 4 regular rounds, top 4 play off, then top 2. I am now really tired....

I like your squad, nice weird ace hard counters. But what about Palob instead of Torkil?

Is it so that to can hopefully wipe aces before they damage your ships?

Tell me more about your squad please, I love meta hate squads.
