After being generally horrible at this game for close to four years,I finally won a small tournament.

Did it with a really good but non-meta list wich feels great. But then what? It's like I made it to the top of a ridiculous mountain.

For me the answer was to immediately stop worrying about it and get wierd!Next tournament I took an even more goofball list and made second place. But....man was that fun!

I haven't completely sorted it out yet but finally making a milestone takes so much self induced hand wringing and worry out of the equation and just lets a dude relax and have fun again.

But, I guess I just wanted to tell people to hang in there, it will happen eventually. And when it does...get silly!

You've earned it!

Since I'm on a competitive X - break...I also got really Wyrd.

But that is another story for another place.

What were the lists that you took?

I think my goals right now are to either:

A) Win a store championship (best i've done is top 4 once in 4 attempts) - Not likely

B) Make top 16 in a regional (never been to one yet) - Possible

What were the lists that you took?

Seconded! Come on, you can't promise weird off-the-wall lists and not deliver!

Time for Epic Tournaments

Since I'm on a competitive X - break...I also got really Wyrd.

But that is another story for another place.6

Bad Things Happen

Reminds me that I need to place an order with Wyrd.

But good on you Velvetelvis. You've done what many of us hope to do. Break the Meta and enjoy it!

The win was with a list I credit to an Italian fella I met on vassal...

Guri- thrusters,sensor jammer,p predator,title.

Trandoshan slaver-bosk,zuckus,4lom

Palob- adaptability,tlt.

Second placeone was a pleasant surprise . I just wanted to try something.... phantoms without ACD...

Whisper -stygian particle accelerator,adaptability,fcs

Echo -veteran instinct,fcs,stygian particle accelerator

Omicron shuttle- uncle wrinkly

Having not done that in 3 years of playing, I did both this year. You can get better. You can win stuff.

I will mention that dengaroo was my easiest match up.

There is even non-tournament stuff to try. Epic is great. Dagobah Dave's trench run mission is fun. All sorts of things. Or...try more creative lists and just have fun with it.

wait for U-wings is what's next

honestly, you can fly silly lists competitively and do really well. The golden rule is **** dice , just follow it and you'll be okay with anything

esp scum Hwks because they're boss
