I'm glad that the reigning Italian national champion started so hot at worlds! Good job Tom!

I have to say that I was skeptic that a list with just two 3 red dice ship with no gunner like effect could have done well, but I'm glad that having be proved wrong so far

Now let's see if the rest of the awesome Reed family manage to get to day 2!

I was in a similar boat about the dual Lancers, but I think it's easy to overlook the tractor beam effects. Utilized well, those token can just make all the difference.

Yes. He must be a hell of a pilot

so hopefully all the cool new stuff that is peeking up, shadowcasters and mindlink in particular, is treated as part of a "doors-wide-open" meta after the deadeye nerf

and doesn't spawn any DOOM threads

but I won't hold my breath

I have to admit I already had some ill feelings towards Casters. But I think that was more because of the guy flying them than because of the list itself...

I'm loving this year at Worlds. There's such a huge variety in both the lists as a whole and the ones that are successful. Sure, you've got a good number of meta builds; but we've also got a bunch of lists that have never seen (large-scale) competitive play.

Well, Branen got autocorrected and apparently I can't edit my post so....oops!

Dom wins first round match against John T (see above for lists).

Doug loses 100-25 against Chris Norris

Ron Brannen looking like he will close things out against the Kath Scarlett list

Fleming loses Biggs and Hog early against Angel Lopez's swarm. Seems to be just trying to salvage Corran. Think he has only gotten one tie.

Nice to see Dash finally!

Ya they posted the literal squad sheet before he turned it in and it for sure is collision detector. Otherwise too many points.

And edit button should be at the bottom of your post, slightly to the right.

I really want to see a broadcast stream of the Corran/Miranda list in action. That looks like something that would be super fun to fly, but require crazy skill to do well with.

For those keeping track: FourDogsInaHorseSuit is 0-2, receiving half credit for a Bossk party bus. Twice.

I want to say thanks to Major and all the rest for the updates. You guys are doing a great job of keeping everyone up to date. I wish FFG would do this so you don't have to but we would be in the dark without you.

I'm assuming Mishary is flying today, not yesterday.

That depends who is spinning it -- in every single interview with any FFG employees, ever, the X-wing meta has always been completely wide open!

What is Jeff Berling flying?

BossGar

Can anyone provide details please?

After the excitement of seeing all the lists that players are flying and what is doing well, Probably my 2nd favorite part of worlds is the amazing community effort to get all this information. I'm seriously in awe of how much information we are able to scrounge up with very little support from FFG on getting this information to us.

Awesome job, everyone.

SECONDED!

I would like to have all the squad lists for all the 4-2s (or better) from both Friday and Saturday. This does 2 things for me:

1. When Sunday comes around, all I have to do is keep track of the matchups.
2. As soon as round 8 is over, I will have some stats ready to publish, comparing this year's Worlds to previous years.

So here is what we need:

1. Get the remaining lists for Friday's 4-2 or better players that we don't already have.
2. Get today's standings after rounds 4, 5, and 6 posted as soon as they are available.
3. As soon as anyone gets 4 wins today, we need their lists.

We should have lots of boots on the ground, I am confident we can do this even without FFG support!
