2016 Regionals Results

By MajorJuggler, in X-Wing

I updated the date/location placeholders with the data that FFG recently updated.

You have a few UK dates missing..

FFG hasn't posted them. If you have a list, please share. :)

3rd June is UK Games Expo, Birmingham - 128 players

10th July is Beanie Games, Stockton - 76 players

I'll find the other dates I know of and get back to you

(but still have to look at each individual store to find the exact date)

UK dates from memory (not a full list):

Wargames Workshop, Milton Keynes: 1st May

Warboar Games, Bromley: 21st May

Athena Games, Norwich: 2nd July.

3rd June is UK Games Expo, Birmingham - 128 players

10th July is Beanie Games, Stockton - 76 players

Are those player caps?

July 30 meta gamez eastern Canada

Player cap 34 players

I wouldn't be surprised to see 100 players at Athena Games, it should be a great event. Lovely big old building, that used to be a working men's club, so the table space goes on for miles... Looking forward to it :)

Yay, X-wing stream to keep me occupied while doing end of semester projects.

which regional is this?

Missouri

The Spanish regional dates, as I don't see them listed:

May 21-22

Madrid, Spain

Panzer Juegos Paracuellos / La Cantina de Mos Eisley

200 players

May 28 - 29

Bilbao, Spain

Joker Comics

80 players

June 4 - 5

Zaragoza, Spain

The Magic Hammer

100 players

June 5

Valencia, Spain

La Roca Wargames

120 players

June 18 - 19

Sevilla, Spain

Empire Games

120 players

July 2 - 3

Barcelona, Spain

GTS Barcelona

128 players

Some of the regionals will be quite bigger than last year. For instance, Madrid had 110 players and Barcelona 80. On the other hand, Barcelona regional will actually be two 64-players swiss tournaments the first day (one at the morning, one at the afternoon), with each top8 playing the Top16 the second day. Weird format, but seems it was the only way to fit more people in.

Do we have any results?

Probably still going. The Chicago one may be a 2 day one, though.

We were done by nine local time. Top 16 tomorrow.

KC just hit top 4.

A Miranda (TLT, 3pO, AdvS), 2x Gold TLT, Bandit just beat triple jumps. Who'd have thought?

Might be cause Miranda was using advanced sensors...

Yes I know it's slam, but AdvS has been advance Sensors for longer so might not be the best shortening.

im betting those TLTs chipped away long range and blocked in close as well. Miranda's speed with slam is a problem for jumpmasters. K-Wing can hit and run and regen shields somewhat mitigating early dmg.

That Miranda list is going to suffer against Palp aces though.

Maybe but the player did at least make top 4 in a pretty big tourney.

Really, because I thought it was TLT that was holding Aces back before...

Depends on what aces. Miranda, Corran, Vader? Yes, kind of. Soontir and Poe? Nope, not at all! Strongest factor limiting aces still is the Stresshog (and here TLT is not the defining upgrade!) that lost fans because of how easily it dies against alpha strikes. I think it should return in some form sooner or later. Maybe it gets reincarnated as Grey Squadron Pilot...

Being PS4 doesn't help it against Jumpmasters though. If it's in range to double stress one, it's in range to eat a torpedo from it and it's still going to have its focus unless you have something else to rush forward and try to block. You might get one round of shooting off but you're still dead in that first engagement, and all you've really succeeded at is spending more points.

KC final match was Tel/Zuckuss/Palob vs. Echo/Inquisitor/Palpmobile. Anyone know who won? I couldn't stay awake.
