Hello all,

The 2016 X Wing Malaysian Nationals will be held this weekend in Petaling Jaya, Malaysia. As always we expect to have several players from our neighbours Singapore and there will also be players from Thailand as well (part of the ASEAN X Wing Community). As some of you may know, there is no official Nationals Kit for South East Asia this year. However the community in Malaysia have worked together and funded the tournament, we purchased, funded and were able to secure prizes from various sources which includes official FFG stuff and also other 3rd party stuff.

Would like to share our Tournament Challenge "Trophy" which will be given to the champion. What do you guys think?

Terbang Selamba (Malaysian for Fly Casual)

NB: Heavyweight Model is not the Undisputed Heavyweight Champion

That's awesome and more nations should award cool trophies in addition to the FFG nationals kit one.

That there is pure win. On so many levels.

You guys make me wanna get on a plane from Japan and come over to play!

Makes me want to get on a plane from Minnesota and come over and play. (not that I would have any chance of doing well).

still time! we welcome all nationalities, races, sentients. event page here https://www.facebook.com/events/1192228524150039/

Personally I prefer cups over silly and impractical belts, but that might be just me. Either way, some form of trophy is clearly something which should be given out at national events.

All national tournaments need swag like that!

Looks really good! I'll have to take a picture with it this Saturday.

Cups sit on shelves, just like coins stay in pockets. Medals and Belts are practical and can be worn anywhere.

Those belts can not be worn without losing first your sense of fashion first

I pass and enjoy my shelf dapper. ;-)

If you don't walk into another tournament like a WWE champion, full of pyro and entrance music, you are clearly doing it wrong.

That being said, shouldn't Heaver have one? I mean, he has successfully defended it "on the grandest stage of them all" three times now.

I must win this!!

very cool! looks like your community is a very healthy one, as you all get together without any FFG support (which is a shame..).

the belt is hilarious, though I -would- wear it to every tournament from there on just because

Half way through a game, someone would hand you a foldable chair and you smash someone over the back with it?

Hustle

Loyalty

Respect

it's difficult, we've doing our best to keep the X-wing community alive in Malaysia. Neighbouring countries like Thailand, Singapore, Philippines and Hong Kong are all struggling as well.

We do what we can.

Yeah, I live in Shenzhen China, and the community is pretty much dead. If it were next weekend I would totally fly down to play. Is there an ASEAN X Wing community page anywhere?

Must bring to all aboard every week ah .... go mamak also must wear ......

We do all that we can, but it's indeed much harder without FFG stock and OP support. But hey we're a bunch of ship-loving nerf-herders.

Here's some of the pages I can remember...

Speaking of shelf dapper and a shout out for the Stay on the Leader Blog | http://stayontheleader.blogspot.co.at/2016/09/guest-blog-one-fantastic-community-one.html

That is some real nice shelfware as price for the italian championship.

Fun fact : guy in 1st post won nationals , so we don't have to replace that pic of him with the belt. Grats Riznal!

He needs to show up to Worlds with that belt.

Beats using coins/trophies for shield tokens.

That is a 1 point illicit upgrade called "Foreign Object"

Normally comes with another guy screaming "Good Gawd al'mighty!!"

If this card is made, the picture must, - *must* - be David Arquette screaming 'Foreign Object' whilst attempting to make out with Rose Mcgowan
