We could try to find another date if you want to make it a thing.

I usually have very flexible hours (starting from 8 am and ending no later than 2 am, preferably not later than 12 pm).

But I'm not sure how mhd's schedule is.

Play it at the normal time, please.

I think what I'm going to do is make a really big deal out of the final 4, since I should be in the hospital for another treatment with good internet and literally nothing better to do.

Bump back to page 1. Jrock vs Aresius results in the battle reports.

Phew, game was in jeopardy there.

I have installed my banks security software twice, twice my network adapter has completely broken on this laptop..........

All restored, and back up and running smooth.

Java reinstalled.

And I can now go to bed... !

1 2 3 4, 5 Rams will make you go down now

To be rescheduled as this didnt occur this morning. There was an alternative showing instead.

Again, a True World Cup!

Representing the good ol' US of A, we have our current Worlds Champion JJs Juggernaut!

Representing Norway we have Green Knight!

Representing Italy (?) we have Aresius!

Representing Australia we have MattShadowlord!

Edit: All 4 of them get automatic entry into the 2018 World Cup!

Ozzel is indeed clumsy and stupid, getting choked out by Vader and Moff Jerry. Dodonna and Ackbar prove never to count the Rebels out, even if outnumbered.

GK is from Noway, or maybe it's Norway. Once we were Vikings, now we're pretty much atheist European oil sheiks.

Aresius is from Italy if my memory is to be trusted (it's failed me in the past).

JJs vs Aresius is scheduled for this Saturday at 2 PM CST (GMT -6), which is 9 PM for him at GMT +1.

In the red corner...the master of Vassal...Vader’s fright hand...395 points that spell your certain doom...Destroying the competition with his dice and his man tool...the Nordic Knight himself…

Green Knight!

Vs.

In the orange corner...The Pod 1 Pouncer from Perth...the Mouth from the South...the Congo-er from Down Under…Admiral Ackbar’s only hope...weighing in at 394 points with rogues that will knock you into Hyperspace...

MattShadowlord!

And on the other side of the bracket…

In the green corner...the current World Champ...coming in at 394 points...sporting Imps this time...JJ running JJ running you ragged...Making moves that are so pretty they ought to be FAQ’ed. The one...the only...

JJs Juggernaut!

Vs.

In the blue corner...from parts unknown...the God of War...the survivor of the Ram-pocalypse...GR-75s o’plenty backed by one mean Battlecruiser...395 points of hot diggity Dodonna...the Contender...

Aresius!

Good luck to all of you gentlemen! We are looking forward to this!

Semi-finals vs my good friend Bjorn the Green Knight! This is going to be awesome.

Perhaps I should be concerned about his extremely clever Avenger / Suppressor / Demolisher combo, but frankly after Ginkapo it's just going to be nice to play a game where my shields have an actual reason for existing

Yeah, it's fiendishly clever. The entire list is.

It MIGHT look like something dragged out of a local wave 3/4 tourney, then someone haphazardly slapped two CC squads in there. It's totally NOT true that I had a massive creativity breakdown and just figured A) I like Vader B) I like ISDs C) Demo is a crutch D) I went light upgrade at Regionals, and see what that got me, so let's do the opposite and E) Holy hell, I need SOME squad protection.

Ehy guys, yes i'm in Italy (Roma).

I hope to arrive third this time, because i have no chance against JJ and he already know! So who is my next opposer for the podium? GK or Matt?

Don't let JJ fool you. He can be beaten. I think I've won against him once or something. Very barely

It's true. I did it just the other night...by 17 points. If I can do it, so can you!

JJ took first.

Chose Precision Strike...

Aresius definitely has the advantage during deployment, being able to place only 2 Flotilla and his speed 5 Awings, speed 4 Rogue YT2400's by the time JJ drops his last ship.

ISD has gone down first, so likely Demo is going down last for JJ.
