2016 Worlds Results

By MajorJuggler, in X-Wing

Steffen Kaehler is a fellow German :)

Great to see him doing so well at worlds!

He is a member of Team Unicorn

Lots of aces in Top 16.... Decent hunting ground for a certain Asajj perhaps? ;)

Wow, 16 and 17 have the same points, MOV, and same extended SoS (whatever that is?)

SoS= Strength of Schedule

Yeah, I know that. Don't know the difference between extended SoS and the other one..

So. Where in the world do the top 16 people come from?

Steffen Kaehler: ?

Faan Langelaan: Netherlands?

Thomas Reed: UK

James Kroeck: ?

Phillip Horny: USA

Charles Jan Ter Horst: ?

Mario Nunez Jimenez: Spain

Marcel Manzano: USA

James Hedgeperth: ?

Paul Heaver: USA

Joe Desmond: USA?

Nand Torfs : Belgium

Faan & Charlie : Nederlands

Do i see that correctly that only one rebel player made the cut? That would be a bit sad. We never had this before right?

Looks like 3.

Joe Desmond and Kevin Leintz are definitely USA.

I assume SoS was just Day 2 and Extended SoS included Day 1 as well.

Jamie Kroek and Kevin Leintz are both local MN, so USA for them as well.

No, extended SoS is a different calculation. If they only used Day 2 for SoS, then extended SoS would also only use Day 2 for its calculation.

Observations:

Faction breakdown for top 16:

Rebels: 2

Imperial: 6

Scum: 8

3 Dengaroo lists made the cut of various flavors.

Two Commonwealth Defenders made the cut.

Fat Han + Jake made the cut! Interesting.

A Corran + Miranda list made the cut, but a second one almost made the cut (placed 17th because of SoS)

5 Scum lists have a Jumpmaster, 4 of those lists have Manaroo.

4 Imp lists have Palp, 5 have an x7 Defender.

Just my first look observations. There is much more interesting data as well, such as a cool double Shadowcaster build flown beautifully!

Charles is Netherlands as well

14 of the Top 16 have at least one of the following:

  • Palpatine
  • x7 title
  • TLT
  • Asajj
  • Manaroo

That essentially leaves Fat Han and Triple Contracted Scouts as the "non-meta" lists, with Fenn + Manaroo getting honorable mention even though it uses Manaroo... of course it may be everywhere next weekend!

Ahh, I see why I thought there were three rebel lists now.

  • Palpatine
  • x7 title
  • TLT
  • Asajj
  • Manaroo

;)

Here's hoping to that!

Mario Nuñez Jimenez is the 2 times (2015 & 2016) Spanish Champion (just in case you want to fill-in also this data).

Looks like 3.

Still a poor showing though. Down from 25% participation to 18,75% and pretty much old lists with Miranda being the most recent pilot.

I would laugh so hard if Fat Han comes back from the dead (so to say) and takes worlds. Or if Paul Heaver makes the quadruple reality...

But also a World champion from Europe would be a great thing to see quite honestly.

Maybe Palp can finally take one since he's so OP....

That was masterfully baiting the Imperials into the Asteroids.

So. Where in the world do the top 16 people come from?

"Paul Heaver only went 6-2, but the man is a legend" true words. :P

K-wing and E-wing just spanked palp aces.

Carnor finished off with a Homing Missile.

Won't call it Palp Aces when it doesn't have PS advantage for repositionning.

I was late to the stream. Did the palp aces player take initiative with his bid. If so can someone explain why? Seemed like it limited his carnor quite a bit.

I'm also mystified on that decision, as was much of the stream chat. Very curious to hear what his thinking on that was.
