Canadian Nationals Stream

By bmf, in X-Wing

EDIT - X-Wing stream is done for TODAY...they are showing Conquest right now. X-Wing will be back TOMORROW at 10:30am EST for the full Top 32.

They are streaming the Canadian Nationals on Youtube and Twitch. 1st round is just getting underway. Double Ghost versus Tie Swarm with Vader Bomber.

Thanks for posting this.

So much for work today.

Sadly, no access to a computer or unlimited wifi :(

Good luck to the Ottawa/Gatineau people!

Round 2:

Scum Kath/Boba versus Dengar/Bossk

The Dengar/Bossk build is very interesting. Its a build that messes with the opponent's green dice with Zuckus on Bossk and R4-B11 on Dengar. I faced a similar list at the BC Regional in my Top 8 match.

Boba/Kath Wins

Looks like they are showing a SW: Destiny demo now!

The **** is this....?

Rhetorical question. Very disappointed that the X-Wing live-stream isn't streaming X-Wing.

They had an announcement that there was an extended break. They did food break early i guess, so they decided to do the demo.

Personally i would rather watch the Demo, as im very excited for Destiny.

However, unfortunately it seems the x-wing streams wont be back until tomorrow if im reading correctly, due to the delay.

Conquest? Who watches that? Bring back X-wing!

Destiny Demo. Lunch break for x-wing.

After today's announcement? Probably a lot fewer people than would've done this time yesterday! :(

Their comment stream seemed to indicate they were switching to Conquest and X-wing would not return.

Edit: Yep, conflict with Conquest Top 8; they will do X-wing top 32 tomorrow. Bummer 'cause some guys from our FLGS are there and I was hoping to see them on the stream.

Well this is disappointing...they are done with X-Wing for today.

Now I want to delete this thread...going to get a bunch of X-Wingers very upset at me when they click the link and see Conquest...

Darn. Now I have to do work again.

Unfortunate... and we're not getting updates from the local players on Facebook (which is totally understandable!)

I love watching a dead game flop about!

(what time does X-Wing start tomorrow?)

It is supposed to start at 10:30am EST.

Who was Tim R in the first round and where can I find more pictures of those Ghosts? They look amazing!

I hate to be that guy, but a bit silly they switched to Conquest. When I peeked back in out of curiosity, there were only 4 viewers. X-wing had over 20...

I mean, not great numbers either way, but still!

Both undefeated guys in the swiss are from the Ottawa/Gatineau region! Congrats to both of them! Congrats to everyone else too, of course :)

Top 32 after 6 rounds:

Dany and Mich are both really good Ottawa players.

I got 48th. Fun day but food was an issue!

Nice. Anyone know what they're flying?

Last I heard Mich planned on bringing torp Manaroo/torp scout/TLT Palob and Dany had been practicing with Chiraneau/ X7 Maarek (but was considering going dual VCX which he had previously flown to a high finish at a regional)

Dany ditched Chiraneau/Maarek in part because my son crushed him with his x7 Glaives. And he ditched the VCX plans because I got him with scouts and a bus. He tried Wes, Biggs and a VCX last weekend, but I got him with triple x7s (Vess, Ryad and a Glaive), and Dengaroo twice, so he shelved that.

Last I heard, he was going closer to traditional Palp Aces, but with a twist. Either Soontir/Carnor or Soontir/some x7. It seems to be doing the trick!
