Paul Heaver = 3 time world champion of XWing.

Eh, who the hell is that guy?

Dee Yun, cohost of Mynock Squadron podcast

Ryan Farmer, cohost of Mynock Squadron podcast

Dallas Parker, cohost of Mynock squadron podcast and I believe made the cut at Worlds for the past 3 years.

Paul Heaver = 3 time world champion of XWing.

Eh, who the hell is that guy?

Chris Allen - that guy that beat Paul Heaver

Nicholas Yun is indeed a 186th member, as is Ben Lee

I believe Dallas Parker and Texx are one and the same.

Phillip Horny goes by phildo on here and vassal.

Is Dallas Parker the one who came in second to Paul in the 2013 worlds?

Yes right, thanks!

Texx is indeed Dallas Parker, I think he made the cut each year so far? Sozin (Lyle Hayhurst) and Sable Gryphon (Mark Fletcher) are from the Scum & Villainy podcast, Sozin is also the guy behind List Juggler. Dan Hars won two Regionals this year. Doug Kinney is the 2012 World Champion. Richard Hsu is the guy who travels everywhere and a co-host of Nova Squadron Radio.

You are right, thx. Corrected

Since you're compiling the X-wing CV of these guys, AFAIK sozin is also the current record holder of the longest undefeated streak at an official event (9-0 in swiss at Hoth Open)
