I am posting pics of the other top 8 matches over on fb https://m.facebook.com/scumandvillainypodcast/

Good to see a fair amount of variety in the top 16. Still a bit heavy on the Palp aces and Dengaroo, but who would have imagined a Fat Han/Jake list making it so far? And a triple scout even after the nerf! And Oicunn/Whisper! Love it!

Btw I would post here but ffg site is not great for iPhone -- if someone wants to mirror from fb to here that would be cool

Wow, that range 1 exchange was bonkers, losing Fenn's PS9 is huge.

When I saw Fenn's initial roll I thought "on average that's a crit on Corran's hull" but it turned out to be two on Fenn's instead

Wow, that range 1 exchange was bonkers, losing Fenn's PS9 is huge.

Unless I was at 2 Hull, I would take a direct Hit over that cursed PS0 crit on Fenn every time!

Ima just say it. So far, best worlds yet.

Loving the variety of lists, and the gripping games. Also loving the diversity of player nations for a change, it would be great for the game base to see a world champion from outside the USA.

And can we just get an amen for the scout nerf? Look what it's done! Gonna go, tearing up over here...

I'm excited to see TIE Defenders well represented.

Don't want to sound like a jerk, but kinda glad there will be a new person as champion this year. It's good to spread it around

Duncan apparently in top 4. Go USA!

Edit: So is Kevin.

Rebel Regen wins, moves to semi's.

Bad luck to Benjamin. That range 1 beating was just too much.

Well done to Kevin

That range 1 engagement was definitely the deciding moment in that round, absolutely brilliant though!

Put my bet on Kevin for new champ, I'd like to see that crown on Corran

Yey, Scum aces with starviper and Kihraxz confirmedish

Steffen lost

Wow Alex Davy confirming thier thoughts are "very much" on the Starviper, K fighter, syck and the x wing.

Ben was super unlucky there's his flying was top notch. Felt. Really bad that exchange went so poorly for him.

Benjamin did amazing on that setup for the shot. I don't think i've seen better flying lol but sadly dice said differently that game

So what are the top 4 matchups?

Worth noting that only two generics are featured at all in the top 16: Scum TLT and Contracted Scouts. Oh, and Palp Shuttle, but I don't think of that as a generic Last year, there were at least some Tie Fighters with Crack Shot.

True but it seems the defenders being popular has meant a battle to be top ps isn't as big a thing

So our top 4 is:

Corran + Miranda

Vessery + Omega leader Palp Aces

Fat Han + Jake Farrel (!)

Dengar + Manaroo

I don't think this was the top 4 I was expecting...

Wow the two rebel lists both made top 4, that makes me happy lol (#Rebel4Life)
