Hoth Open reports?

By SmartCookie, in X-Wing

It is surprising that nobody is streaming. I searched all of Twitch for adepticon and got nothing, you would think SOMEBODY would be reporting considering how big it is.

Would love some updates and end of day reports... so I have an idea of what I am facing tomorrow

second and third table table in is Wolfpack and I can see 3 Shuttles....

This is killing me!!! I want to know what's going on. What are the featured matchups??? Who's running what???

Help us Obi-wan Kenobi, you're our only hope!!!

Bahaahaa! So the first in-game footage from @FFGOP shows 6 JumpMasters... /facepalm

Well they posted that there is at least one table with 6 jumpmasters on it

Grayfax.... you ninja

If my read of the meta is right I think you can expect a lot of double devils, some howlin wolf, some heat syckers, maybe some 69'ers, and a number of zippity doo dahs.

I told you! I'm running separate streams in my TweetDeck! Lucky you... I'm taking lunch...

I am actually about to enter meetings for the rest of the day, hopefully somebody who is there realizes our plight.

Understood some of the above and anticipate the same; and no, I don't want to see anyone's zippity doo dah.

Still a bit slow, but we have had a bit more from the tables of the #HothOpen...

Black and Gold Imperial Aces:

And a Ghost with lighting(?):

is that a K-wing on the right?

Yep, that's what I figured it was... a K-Wing, Ghost and Attack Shuttle.

Edit: This is the downside of Twitter... no idea what is really being flown. You can make guesses, but that's all it is.

More importantly, is that an Imperial Firespray? :blink:

Ha! That was my first thought as well... "Who is flying an Imperial Firespray?" followed by "Maybe it's packed with ordnance?"

I'll be there tomorrow - might post some pics if the reports are still few and far between...

I can see tactician Kath with guidance ships and missiles with extra munitions having a lot of fun.

Hm. I had forgotten that the various Opens are technically Nationals and run concurrent with the rest of the season now. I know this thread is already started, but does anyone want me to make an "official" 2016 Nationals Thread to post results in?

It isn't a National, technically. The US National is still at Origins. It is a big tournament, but I would be hesitant to call them Nationals (unless you want to call the Invitational a Worlds event).

A Nationals thread may still be a good idea. Even though Origins has still not announced the dates for the event.

A separate results thread is probably a good idea. Mostly we're just waiting for any kind of updates in this thread. When photos of a painted shuttle are exciting... our perspective might be skewed, but we're still excited ... involvement is a weird thing! I mean... I even got excited at Zach (with Team Covenant) crossing the Mississippi river... and at the same time saying, "Why aren't you already there?!?" Ha!

Since we are on the topic

Origins is going to be announcing the times etc. for nationals tomorrow.

Ion Pulse Missiles?

Not to mention CooMasterCoo arrived from the Southlands... maybe having a podcaster on the scene will increase some visibility!
