And at the same time, the top four in the UK was trip defenders vs trip scouts and whisper/oicunn vs trip scouts. Whisper/Oicunn played off against the other trip scouts in the final, with trip scouts taking the victory. Not sure of the exact lists.
(I came 131st I think lol)
Top 32 are lists are up: http://www.186th.org/news/uk-nationals-2016-top-32
Rebel: 4
Alright, <12%! Such meta! Very balance! Wow!

You do realize such numbers are largely mwaningless without context, right?
If for example there were 12.5 % Rebel lists at the start of the tournament it would mean Rebels are underplayed but performing as expected.
Alright, <12%! Such meta! Very balance! Wow!Rebel: 4
12% regen and fat turrets.
Rebels are overrepresented. That number should be 0%.
French national about to finish. Final is triple defenders vessery,ryad,glaive all with crackshot and x7 vs palp soontir inquisitor prockets.
Top 4 double crack fcs igs
Palp ryad inquisitor

This is actually an improvement. During system open top 8s, it was about 4% rebels making the cut. And according to FFG OP tweets, it was roughly balanced at the start of the tournament.
Go go triple defenders!
The defenders won.
Polish Nationals were just won by
Palob + Adaptability + TLT + Moldy Crow
Manaroo + Deadeye + Plasmas + Extra Munitions + Recon Specialist
Trandoshan Slaver + Zuckuss + 4LOM + Dengar + Inertial Dampners
It thought against a triple Jumpmaster build. I'm not 100% sure on the upgrades, but I think I got them right.
The defenders won.
Link to match vid? Thanks
I know that a video was taken, no stream but it should be soon on youtube.
Palp aces finalist won his top 8 mirror match with the final salvo, he had initiative and decided to run when both palp had died.
I failed miserably to make the cut with my swarm, ending around 30th with 4-3.
Nordic Championship was held in Uppsala, Sweden, Aug 13-14. Results on ListJuggler. There was an intense final between Dengaroo and Palp Aces that the latter won after a long struggle, video battle report will come.
Mangler Scyks placing 10th, nice

Bad luck mate - winning 2 years running (14+15) was a remarkable feat with the swarm!
Go go triple defenders!
Thanks for the support! It was a great tournament though my top was pretty meta-standard with two uboat lists followed by two palp aces. I already had plenty of practice against the aces but hadn't really played against uboats with this list before the tournament, and then lost to one in the swiss. Fortunately I was able to adapt quickly =).
For those interested, other lists that made the cut were at least one brobot, a Han/k-wing list with bombs, a couple dengaroos, a dengar/tel list and at least one more palp aces and uboats.
What was the triple Defender list like?

Ica already mentioned it at the top of the page, Ryad, Vessery and a Glaive, al with crack shot and X7.
Nice to see a pilot with a positional/movement ability (Ryad) seeing play at top tables. Poor Juno probably wishes it was her.
Edited by CelesJust a quick side note, the winning list from Gencon only has 1 OCR4 in it (on the torp boat with Plasmas) the other torp boat with Protons does not have OCR4 I believe as it would be a 101 point list otherwise, at least that is what I could gather from the Team Covenant Vids on YouTube.
Was building it up to try out and checked the points, thought there was a bit too much tech on board haha.

Did you get to see the Han/k-wing list?

I'm afraid not as I was busy playing, but I believe the Han/K-Wing vs Brobots match was recorded and will probably be on YouTube soon.
Edit: here's a shameless plugin to my tournament batrep .

Also, unfortunate with that massive amount of info they posted they couldn't get the lists on there.
The top 32 of the Spanish National is on Twitch now, they're currently halfway through the first round and you can see it here . My buddy is currently playing triple defenders (he was 3rd in the swiss yesterday of 210 people).
German nationals are on too: https://www.twitch.tv/heidelbergerspieleverlag
