maryland regional top 16 starting now

By Velvetelvis, in X-Wing

Yup.

Palp aces should be ashamed!

With all their wins at Worlds, and whatever!

There is little difference between winning and being top 16-ish. Randomness happens, you can judge a list only by how often it tends to float up. And Palpaces/defenders/whatever tends to do so a lot. They are the most meta-warping squad remaining (probably, the meta is still new). Nowhere near as bad as U-Boats as all you need is Sabine to make their day sad, but they still push everything that can't get through the 3 dice of armour out.

I know.

But there's also the fact that Imperials haven't won a World Championship, ever.

So, everyone finds the answer to end them.

2012.

2012.

Before the dark times. Before Heaver's empire.

What were the results in the end?

When will these games be on You Tube?

They are now I believe, Stele Enterprises

I believe Duncan Howard won with the same Palpaces variant he was running at Worlds, Palpmobile + SJ, OL with usual loadout plus Shield Upgrade, and Maarek with x7, Predator, and Twin Ion Engines?

Yup.

Kids these day...they just don't know their galactic history. ;)

He had Vessery with Juke besides Omega Leader and Palp Shuttle.

Yup.

Listen here, young whipper snapper, I'm going to tell you a story. About how in 2012, A mand by the name of Doug Kenny(Did I spell that right?) went on to win worlds. Now wave 2 hadn't even hit the store shelves, so you had the X-wing, Y-wing, TIE advanced, and TIE fighter to fly. And Mr. Kenny took 8 TIE fighters and climbed the ladder to world champion. Through ion cannons, Proton torpedoes, pre-errata biggs, etc.

Doug Kinney, aka Hothie, recieving his Worlds 2012 award.

He's the man who brought us "Fly Casual".

Yup.

Wasn't it Howlswarm with Vader?

Yeah Vader & mini-swarm. I forget if HR was there as well, but she seems like obvious inclusion for that pre-meta meta.

That was quite an enjoyable stream to watch. Well done to Stele or whomever. (It's good to know that X-Wing players' sense of humor is nearly universal.)

Go K-Wings! I love all kinds of Sabine + mass bombs flavours.

Edit: And she did it! Great flying with a great list.

Yeah i know... Shame to me. :(

I didn't find the info. So i made a bold statement. Sorry.

At least can i say that our mighty Emperor hasn't won a single Worlds?

My point was, that many complain, but people always have answers for the Emperor at the top tables.
