2016 Worlds Results

**** me those clusters make me sad

where the conners at!?!?!

I would think that Conner Net is more powerful with a heavy hitting ship followup...as more control. With just pure damage and movement control I have always felt that Cluster Mines were better.

This is Jesper Hills full list

Conscious Coupling (96)

Manaroo (37) - Attani Mindlink, K4 Security Droid, Plasma Torpedo, Unhinged Astromech, Guidance Chips, Feedback Array

Fenn Rau (32) - Attani Mindlink, Concorde Dawn Protector, Autothrusters

Palob Godalhi (27) - Attani Mindlink, Autoblaster Turret, Cloaking Device, Stygium Particle Accelerator

Is there a specific reason for the 4 point bid?

Yes. Against other mindlink lists you absolutely have to go second.

Wait, how come?? So Palob steals one from them?? Seems like its not a big deal anyway. This sounds like a fun list though

It's a huge deal for palob, Teroch, and manaroo. All of these must go second, or key elements of the list fall down (eg fenn ends up tokenless)

I'm curious too. The Palob idea makes sense, but is there more to it than that? Manaroo token drop?

Edit: Posted late, sorry.

SoT on facebook says the top table right now has a Gand Findsman and Kavil. Not sure if they're on the same list...

Oh they're against rebels so yes. They are with manaroo, all mindlinked.

Manaroo Mindlink making some headway. Nice.

3 with cluster mines. 2 with seismic charges.

They forgot the most important picture: what is he wearing ?

The internet needs more Steampunk!

From this picture, looks like sensible shoes.

kinda disappointed by the distinct lack of ARCs <_<

oh well, more hipster cred for me

Has the "Ron Con Special" turned out to be anything special?

I feel the same way with Scyks. Only after the title update, I feel I loss a little bit of it.

Not only do you gain a competitive advantage by keeping your list a secret in advance of a major tournament, you can also better obscure it when you bomb terribly.

So no offence to Paul but its looking good for my prediction. Well half of it.

(Won't be Paul WC + A Palp variant)

Except this build can take out a bot before it shoots with the tiniest bit of luck.

A Brobots player that allows Bossk to get his missiles off in the engagement round is not doing a very good job.

So it takes more than just some luck ... it also takes a significant skill differential.

Context?

just talkin out of my exhaust port. at the end of the day this is a semi-anonymous board game blog.

Get this... the top table for round 4 featured a matchup between Corran/Miranda vs Mindlinked Manaroo/Kavil/Gand Findsman.THATS A MIST HUNTER, PEOPLE, AND ITS NOT EVEN ZUCKUSS. I love this tournament!!!!

the misthunter is also, if you cross your eyes a bit, kinda a B-wing!

B-wings are viable, everyone!!!

Also, I have Doug Kinney's list for tomorrow.... but I'm sworn to secrecy until dice roll tomorrow! :D

Wait, Doug is going??? I thought for sure he was done with worlds.

There are a lot of stories, with a large cast of players, but tl:dr, yes, I am playing in 1b tomorrow.

Good luck

So apparently Aaron Bonar's Bossk has VI and crack shot. Does it also have A-Wing Test Pilot? I think something is off lol.

Both Jesper and Ben are now 3-1. Go mindlink go

I think Dengar had Crack Shot and Bossk had VI. I don't actually know, though.

I believe Dee Yun was at Table 3 at round 4 at 3-0 . Friend is playing coy... So don't know who won.
