I would like to see Scum take worlds, preferably with Fenn Rau, Old Teroch, and Manaroo. U-boat Jumpmasters will NOT win, though I expect some in the top 16.

The ways of fate and destiny are strange. So I predict Rebels to win worlds again, but in ironic fashion. Rebels has been made great again.

Winning list:
K-wing with Sabine & Conner Nets
Braylen Stramm with R3-A2
Ghost with Fire-Control & Auto-Blaster turret

Other Rebel lists that may win:
Double Ghost
Dash & Miranda
Kanan Ghost with Biggs. Sabine as the docked Phantom.

The other list in the finals will be Palpatine with Defenders, but it will NOT win. It's the obvious choice, and the obvious choice never wins.

Other top 16 predictions:
There will only be 1 Soontir Fel in top 16 & he won't win.
Likewise, there will only be 1 Whisper in top 16 & she won't win.
There will be TLT's on Ghosts, K-wings, and Y-wings (maybe a HWK?)
Jake Ferrell won't make it.
Asajj Ventress with PTL & Latts Razzi
Fenn Rau, Old Teroch, & Manaroo
Dengaroo
YV-666 with Dengar, Zuckuss, 4-LOM
Rigged Cargo!
very few U-boat Jumpmasters
Defenders with TIE/D title
Omega Leader
Hopefully one TIE swarm will make it.
Hopefully TIE bombers with munitions will make it.
Hopefully Darth Vader will make an appearance.

Probably a lot of defenders.

I could see Arcs, they are still relatively new, and you can build some crazy combos.

Lancers maybe, as they can be nasty, same thing there, relatively new.

What I would like to see is another thing, would love see someone ending up really high with Starviper, Kihraxz, Scyks, Hwks that would be skill.

Fel's Wrath

Laughed way too much to this.

Latts Razzi flyin the Hound's Tooth.

Whatever Poe Heaver is flying.

The Actually, I take back my first response. I'm predicting that SableGryphon finally wins it with some crazy 4-lambda list with tractor beams or Collision Detectors or something.

Rebels will not win this year. The Empire or Scum will win it all. Palp and a couple defenders or Asajj and assorted escorts.

My current love is Asajj, really hoping to see a Lancer go far.

I'm 100% confident that a human male wins the World Championship.

Mmm, can't wait for that cookie from the OP!

Paul Heaver...oh but he is not yet ship or pilot, but still Paul Heaver..

Not Rebels

Rebels

To be more precise: I think Norra Wexley is going to win worlds, probably with Biggs flying wingman. Which, interestingly, would make Biggs the first pilot to win two worlds!

Third ship will be a K or an Arc, I suspect...

Palp defenders or triple defenders

Paul Heaver with a new variation of 4 ship rebel squad that trumps everything.

Does Paul ever compete with a non rebel list? Serious question.

I saw him flying Palp-shuttle, Omega Leader, Inquisitor and Wampa at a store championship. That was the awesome game flying against 3 interceptors: Soontir, Carnor and Turr. I will not spoil the outcome

You have shared a good X-wing match to watch. It is from March though.

X-wing meta changes from month to month

I'm predicting Rebels to win worlds. I would not have made this prediction just three months ago.

I would find it surprising if the Paul Heaver Rebels streak get broken this year.

Empire will reign supreme this year. Whether it be the UK Champion swarm, or the Canadian or Aussie Champion palp defenders lists. Look for the trophy to be taken outside of the US this year.

Smart Dials will win Worlds.

I think scum has a solid chance to snap up the win if someone figures out a nice all comers list. They have a lot of options now and moving away from dengaroo or jumps as the only choices seems like it could bring home the trophy.

Manaroo, Old Teroch and Fenn Rau is in with a solid shout.

Kinetic Operator. It's his year to take WTF all the way.

So many defenders this year, but Dengaroo outlasted them all. At least I got the last sentence right.

I think a bunch of random Z-95s and a single Arc-170, and it will mark the victory of the Clone wars....

I'm not allowed to say what the list is but I think it's gonna do really well. #rooksquad

Speak, immediatly!
